Hello From Pennsylvania

Bought my very first Mini Cooper S. It's a 2003 Mini Cooper S 6 spd with 43000 miles!!

Plans for it is to track the car and be my daily.... hopefully hhaha

So far I only have an invidia catback exhaust on it as far as mods go. But more to come. Also will be doing a full car color change with 3M vinyl wrap Gloss Black Rose. Stay tuned for the results!

exhaust sound clip if anyone is curious.

Very nice, EB was my top color choice for the R53 back in the day. We carry those exhausts. Are you wrapping the whole car ? And wheel arches ?


Looks a little bit brighter then Velvet Red

Shame to see that nice paint covered up, but I'm all for customization. I'll await the photos.

Yes, will be wrapping the roof, mirrors(unless I get CF caps), grill, and wheel arches.
