Finally got my first Mini!



Hello,
After many years of admiring the Mini line I finally broke down and got one. I was looking for a Gen 2 without turbo with low miles and some specefic options. I found a great 2008 with less then 50,000 miles on it. I wanted heated seats and heat/ac controls that you set the temp. I thought I was getting fog lights but they ended up being the daytime running lights. Something I missed in my research was that they don't just come with cruise control or Bluetooth. So I adddd Bluetooth via a parrot system and installed the switches in my steering wheel. I then added a new switch bank so I will have a rear fogand front fog lights. I also purchased a new arm rest, rear fog, black out side lights and scuttles. I have a set of fog lights with the brackets for the grill. First things first though, my Mini got a new set of wheels and tires. I look forward to many years of exciting driving. My next Mini will be a new one. I have some pics below,

Looks like you found one that was well cared for and maintained. Show us the switch upgrades inside when you get the chance. Welcome to Mini.

Nice Mini! The wheels are a good choice.
