Hello from Northern VA, soon to be Raleigh/Durham NC!

Hello everyone!

I recently got a new to me 2013 R58 S with low mileage a little while back in September, I've been frequenting the forums but never got around to posting.

I'm loving the car so far as my daily, and of course I'm modding it already.
So far I've added:
Full Trim Blackout
Chili Red Mirror Caps
OutMotoring Gauge Face
Stubby Antenna
Rupse Nav Radio w/ Backup Cam (Works fantastically)
Sparco Assetto Gara wheels
CNT Downpipe
Invidia Q300 exhaust
AFE panel filter
GFB BPV
Forge Intercooler
And earlier today I got a Manic Stage 2 tune by Scott at GoFastDynamics.

I'll soon be adding:
Painted Chili Red roof and dual stripes bumper to bumper
JCW pro spoiler
Full LED swap
Hotchkis Competition Sway Bar
Koni FSD shocks (Keeping it comfy as the daily, no lowering)

I look forward to posting with you guys, I have seen the clubs up here in NOVA but my wife and I will be moving to Raleigh/Durham NC in a month, so if anything I'll be seeing you guys down there!

Beautiful MINI! I can do your stripes if you want, I've done over 120+ so far. Also check out TarHeelMINIs.org and join the Club

Sounds good to me! I'll likely hit you up when I'm down there and settled, likely won't be for a while but it's always good to have a club and a person to know!

Thanks! Yeah that's definitely gonna be nice haha, unfortunately I got it with a drilled in plate, so it's gonna stay until I can have a shop put a bit of filler and paint match it to make it smooth.

Yep I know about those and I thought about it, but I did take the bracket off to check, there's a bunch of scratches and small dents (Like the tried and failed to put screws in other locations) that would be visible, so I'm just gonna have the bumper repainted.

Most of the vinyl will cover those scratches, Nothing can repair holes in bumpers as far as I know
