Welcome to NAM and the world of MINI Motoring! You have many years of grins ahead of you. I know, I raced Minis for years and recently picked up an R53 myself!

When you have the chance, please post some pictures and let us know about mileage, any modifications already on the car, and what you would like to modify, if anything.

In the meantime, we have a bunch of articles and free application guides for service, maintenance, accessories and performance upgrades on our website. Check them out and feel free to ask any questions!

Welcome aboard!

Drive Hard. Drive Safe. Keep Grinning.

There's a few part outs in the market place, I'm sure you can find it there.
