Hi! I’ve owned my ’09 Cooper for three months now and I’ve loved every minute. This is the first car I’ve ever bought myself and I’m hoping to see it through to 200K miles (currently at 53K). It's been mechanically solid, though I do have some rock chips and two bonnet dents from the past owner that I’d like to work out; where would be the best place on the forum to ask about this? Thanks!

 

Welcome! I only just joined the forum as well. Thanks a great looking Cooper you have there. I love the Black over black and the tint looks great!

Drive Hard. Drive Safe. Keep Grinning.

 

Search for a PDR to get rid of the dings. Paintless dent removal. The guy I use tells me that MINI BMW metal is easy to work back into original shape.

 

Get some touch up paint from the dealership and take your time.

Congrats on the new MINI.
