Hello from MA

Hello everyone! Just introducing myself.

Short story:

- Use to have an 09 R56.

- traded it in and went to the dark side for a couple of years.

- learned about the F56 when it was introduced. Hated it so bad and for the last 2 years!!!!

- then 3 weeks ago, went to pay soccer as usual and a new guy brought his R56. We talked about minis afterward.

- needless to say, a week after that, 9 days ago, I went to check out the F56. Test drove a PW F56 and well.... just took it home!

- since then I still can't wipe the smile of my face every time I get in it!

I understand people being mad about this update to the mini, I was too, but man is that car better inside and under the hood than the R56 in my humble opinion. The mini as simply evolved, it is what it is!

Well that's the story, now here it is! First thing I did was wrapping the headlights and taillights bezels and that fake hood scoop lol!

The day I picked it up

Welcome, looks like someone already did the blackout trim line Well done. The Pepper white on black is a good combo.
