Hey everyone, I just bought a 2012 Cooper Coupe S about a week ago. Looking forward to reading all the tips on upgrading this baby up to gokart status.

 

Welcome to NAM.

Any pictures of the new ride??

 

Welcome to the forum

and congrats for the new car

plus hang on to your wallet .. it can be expensive yet fun

 

Hi and welcome to NAM!
Show us your Mini!

 

Thanks. I got the car for 8k at 76k miles so it wasn't too bad, but I can already see upgrade expenses going up.

 

When I first saw these, I thought I did not like them. It is a problem with change for me, but now they have been out for a while and I really like them now and wonder when I will add one to my collection!
I want a JCW model!

 

My cousin bought a hardtop mini...and after test driving this one I fell in love with the smallness. It's like an audi tt with much better styling and quirkiness (though I know a lot of people don't really much like the look)....I think if the roof was black, so it doesn't look so much like a baseball cap, and the previous owner didn't take off the stripes it would look better.

Also the automatic spoiler is gold.


----- My other car is a stage 2 e85 08 VW R32, and picking which one to drive in the morning is tough

 

Welcome to the forum and MINI ownership. I also was not a fan of the roofline when they first came out. Yours looks great with the silver top. Stripes can be easily added. Probably the easiest modification you can do.

 

Welcome.

Great looking car... Hmmm, coupe.

Motor On!
