Welcome and very nice carbon edition, the tinted windows are a must for the F55, looks so much better.

Welcome to NAM.

There is a good thread in the Gen3 area that you may be able to add some stuff to.

Welcome. maybe add a AC Schnitzter front lower splitter and lower it a little, thats what i would do if i had that cool edition. Since they never had a true JCW F55. But it makes that a Rare F55.

I do plan on adding some lowering springs on it, since you mentioned the front splitter, I will probably end up doing that too!

Welcome!

Great looking car. Thanks for willing to share with the gang, just another reason why MINI Folk are the best.

Motor On!

Make sure to use the aerosol fine mist spray only and you don't have to worry about getting it in other areas, as it will wipe right off!
It last a very long time too!
