Greetings from Durham, NC

[OLD]Greetings from Durham, NC. This is my first Mini and I'm in love! I'm trying to control my credit card but I'm losing. I have a 2015 S F56, automatic, Volcanic Orange with the black top and black 16" wheels. So far I have blacked out everything but the beltline and emblems. Planning on blacking those out plus window tints this spring.

Plans So Far:
Switching to 17" rims with non run flats
JCW Tune Kit
Chi Rear Spoiler Extension
NM Engineering Power Module
aFe Power Magnum FLOW Performance Dry Air Filter (drop in)[/OLD]

[NEW]2018 Update: Traded in the 2015 for a 2018 MCS Seven Edition with the Dinantronics Exhaust and Elite Tune upgrade. JCW Pro Coilovers on the way![/NEW]

Twister... I might just do that. My current stripes are looking a bit worn and chipped. I also want to black out my beltline and logos.

A couple of us will be going up toward Mt. Airy in a couple of weeks. You want to do some Squirrel Spur runs with the newbie let me know. Might be some Charlotte guys there as well.
