First MCS R53

Hello Everyone,

Just purchased a 2006 MCS back in August. I got it with 77k miles and I am the second owner. Car was bone stock and had all service records from the dealership. The first owner took really good care of it.

After purchasing it, I did preventative maintenances right away and some mods. Put a 15% Craven Speed pulley, colder plugs, Alta tension stopper, k&n intake (due to California smog), miltek catback exhaust, lowering springs, helix rear control arms, and few cosmetics stuff.

This is my 3rd car. Owned a Sentra Spec V and G35s Sedan before this, but this is my favorite car so far!

Welcome to NAM, an enlightened group that recognize the MINI as a well handling automobile directly from the dealer's lot. Make a few modifications and the car can be like a "rat on acid".

Nice looking car.

Love the color combination. The black wheels go great with the gray and white. Excellent choice.

Great looking R53!
You may consider replacing the front tow hook with a Cravenspeed license plate holder. California has a unforgiving Front & Rear license plate law.
