New to me '12 Mini.

Just purchased myself a '12 Mini Cooper this past Friday. And I am enjoying every minute driving this car! Now I'm itching to get it painted and lowering it. Maybe add an air intake and exhaust for sound.

Here is a picture before I brought it home:

Congrats and welcome. What color are you going to paint it? Lowering the car is easy, and there are a number of cool exhaust options as well!

I want to go satin grey on the body with a gloss black roof. Also thinking of a gloss black stripe with red edges going down the center of the car.
