New Mini Owner Here

Hey y'all. I am about 3 weeks into Mini ownership and I love it so far. I have an 04 MC F50.

I'm looking forward to learning as much as I can about these cars, and hopefully get some good advice when it comes to working on my car.

Welcome to NAM.

Believe if you have an 2004, then your model is R50 with a Tritec engine and not a F50.

Any pictures?

Took me a bit to really get back in here. Here's my R50. 2004, Pepper White, 5 speed. I'm really enjoying it so far.
I'm not sure if there's much I want to do with it. Maybe swap out the lights on the back to be black to match the look of the headlights. Black Cooper S grill maybe. Tint the windows to minimize the greenhouse affect. Time will tell if I do anything performance-wise. My goal is to keep driving and keep it running for a very long time.
