Hello guys!
I've just bought my very first Mini.
I didn't plan to buy Mini, actually I didn't even paid an attention to them on the roads until my wife said - look, this is a nice car.
I did few test drives and fell in love with this beauty even though it's about 15 years old.

So, it's Cooper R50, 2004, pre-facelift, automatic.
Everything is original, no modifications, only one owner before me. It needs body/paint works but technically in very good condition.

I want to repaint it to a lighter color, into some mix of blue and green, it needs new cool looking wheels and of course a nice body kit (but I'm already having hard time trying to find something)
So here we are )) I can feel a lot of fun is coming with this car!

 

Welcome to NAM.

Nice looking MINI. Welcome to the forum. If your new friends on the forum can't help you find what you are looking for, it doesn't exist. Good luck and enjoy the adventure.

 

Welcome, Just watch the cvt transmissions, they can be a bit of trouble.

In the US they went to court on it: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ettlement.html

 

Hi and welcome to Nam!
Enjoy your new to you Mini Justa and congrats!
and get the transmission serviced with new oil and filter! They are the weak link in your car. they need service every 30,000 miles. Don't for a second wait for this to be done!
Enjoy your Mini and keep that baby happy!
It likes to drive in the twisties!

 

Welcome to the forum

 

Haha! But why? I believe it's only cool to be in RHD when all the traffic is RHD.
Or you mean it's more correct version of Mini if it's RHD?

 

Thanks, this is definitely a good idea. Especially considering our very hot climate.
