Hey everyone! New MINI owner coming over from an Acura TSX. Decided to pick up this little gem as a birthday present to myself last week.

I am completely in love with it! It's a 2007 MINI Cooper S in PW with the black glasstop (correct term?) roof.

I don't really have any performance plans for it right now. I'm enjoying my gas mileage, haha. Aesthetically, it will be getting wrapped soon in matte metallic dark gray, the chrome trim will be wrapped in gloss black, and I will possibly keep the style of the OEM stripes, just do them in gloss black as well. The car is in amazing condition inside and out, so the wrap will also help keep the paint looking new. Win win.

Look forward to contributing (or lurking?) on the forums in the future!

 

Welcome! Mickey and MINI 9 is happening at the end of the month. It's at the Disney resort Coronado springs. You should bring your new MINI.

 

Happy belated birthday and welcome to NAM babysarah! Please give us some pics!

 

Thank you both for the welcome! .. and THANK YOU for telling me about this! I had no idea and this seems like it would be a ton of fun. If the car gets wrapped in time, might even participate in the car show. I'm sure mine may not stand a chance compared to the creativity of others out there, but it would be fun.

Looks like registration is over and you can only register the day of the event.

 

Welcome hope to see you at Mickey and MINI next week

 

Thank you! Now that I have heard about this event, I'm planning on making it out there. Actually just got done browsing your site for goodies. See you soon!

 

Welcome and please post some pics before and after wrapping.

 

welcome to the forums. i have a 2013 pw as well.

 

Welcome to NAM, and congrats on your new MINI! Be sure to check out Sunshine MINIs. There are lots of active MINI clubs throughout the state with regular meetups and events, great people & good fun all around.

Happy Motoring!

 

Thanks everyone! I'll definitely post some before and after shots once the wrap is completed. Should be getting underway here in a week or so!

I will definitely check out Sunshine MINI's as well.

 

We are buying a house near Madeira Beach next summer. I plan on checking out the local Sunshine MINIS group.

 

We need a west side meet.

Welcome to NAM, babysarah and congrats on your new MINI. From your partial description, it sounds great but what we'd really like to see are a few pics of this awesome machine.
