05' Mini Cooper S - Atlanta
Greetings to all Mini drivers far and wide. Just picked up an 05' Mini Cooper that needed a little TLC. Dove into the maintenance head first:

1. Replaced power steering pump / 100 amp fuse (Doorman pump from Summit Racing)
2. Changed Oil
3. Changed valve cover gasket
4. Replaced dead HK 6x9 speaker (HPC Import Salvage, Buford, GA)
5. Replaced backup light switch
6. Powder Coated R98 wheels (Custom Coaters Marietta, GA)
7. Rear view mirror swap to homelink / auto dimmer (HPC Import Salvage)

All in one weeks time

Next up -> Headliner replacement - Rally Lights - New Tint

After the tow from Greenville, SC





Prepping wheels for powder coating





Road Worthy!

The color is Speedway Black but looks more like a metallic graphite.

I searched high and low for the color scheme that you have with no luck. You have a beauty as well.

Show us the inside looks!
We love to see all the variations!
Here is mine:

7 dash, with chrono package, leather seats

7dash piano black

Ok, so show us your baby inside! I had a grey/white strip S and a British Racing Green S with white stripes too. I like them all, but this one is my fav!
