Mini r50 Owner

Hey internet,

I decided to buy an r50 base model last November and aside from some engine troubles, I'm in love with my car. I'm hoping to learn a few things from this forum, initially with the aforementioned engine trouble that I'll be posting about soon, as well as helping any way I can with my limited (but growing!) knowledge.

See ya around.

I've only got this one right now. Definitely plan to take some more after I get a new bumper painted.

I actually just sanded the headlights this week, so much better than before! There are a few cosmetics that need some love for sure. You know that metallic film on the handle right above the boot unlock button on the back of the car? It's so old and really needs replacement, but I can't find a reasonable price without buying a whole new lock assembly Must be a normal replacement, has anyone done that?

Nice stripes Shrevemini
