New to the site, but have owned by 2007 Mini Cooper for about 2 years now. It's been a love/hate relationship, and I actually have kept her in the family since I just purchased a new car and handed by "challenged" gal over to my oldest daughter. Trying to get the pepper white beauty with black striping right for my baby so you may see me in some of the message boards asking the usual questions about the problems that seem to haunt everyone else that own a R56 with a N14 engine.

 

Hey neighbor

You came to the right place, Good luck !

 

Hello and welcome, I am always here to help with your R56, I am a former 2007 R56 owner , now have an R58 and also have an R52. Post up some pics.

 

Welcome to NAM, Michele! Hello from SoCal! Whereabouts in Cali are you located? If you need stripes, check out www.mightystripes.com. They're quality and cost efficient. We used them for our R53. Would love to see some pictures when you get the chance.
