So I finally got a MINI... a few questions

Hello all.

I finally got my hands on a mini. I've wanted one since they came out and never had the opportunity to get my hands on one.

Until now.


I just snagged this Spice Orange 2011 MINI Cooper S with 41k.

Now, I'm trying to figure out what all is factory and what was done by the PO. Is there a way to find out what the original configuration was as ordered?

I'm pretty sure it's mechanically stock. It seems to have mostly cosmetic tweaks. Lots of black... which suits me fine.







Any idea what wheels these are? I have not noticed them on any other MINI.






Is this leather or leatherette? Black Jack door handles may go away.


Was this a MINI offered spoiler or aftermarket?

Nice car! I've always liked Spice Orange. You can try the VIN decoder under tools in the websites top navigation. That might give you some insight.

Welcome to NAM!

That's a nice optioned MCS you have there. Looks like most of the work is already done.

Seats look to be leatherette,heated seats, HK sound, climate control, Xenons.

Spoiler is factory.
