First Mini

Hi everyone! I got my first Mini last Friday (Aug 23), a 2016 Clubman. I have wanted a Mini for so many years, and I'm so glad we were finally in the position to get one. I've been loving this little bad boy. I've ordered a Euro style plate for the front, and am considering getting some stripes applied soon. He got his first bath this morning (well, it was the first time I've washed him ). We're in East Tennessee, so I'm planning on taking a little trip along the Dragon soon, which is appropriate, since this little guy is my l'il dragon.

Welcome to the forum. I wish I was closer to the dragon to make it possible. Enjoy it for those of us who can’t make it.

Go for stripes! And since you're doing it after-market, you can get something to make it yours. I added royal blue with silver lining stripes in the "standard" Mini bonnet/boot locations. Mini style but a slightly unique Mini =)

That's what I'm thinking. I haven't decided on designing my own or going with the center stripe(s). It's going to depend on cost and whether I can come up with something I like and if what I want to do is, in fact, doable.

Thank you for the welcome! We're this close and have never actually driven along that section of 129. I've wanted to, and now I have a perfect excuse.
