As an old NAM denizen once said: "Without pictures, it didn't happen." So, pictures, dammit, pictures.
Is this your first drop head? There's a ton of information in the R52 section from canvas care to dealing with no spare tire.
Welcome to the world of MINI motoring. Topless motoring IS motoring at it's best.

Just so you know, you will find info on your 08 R52 in the gen 1 area, as the R52 went all the way to 08.
Congrats and welcome to NAM!
The R53 hatch will compliment the R52 's and will give you a summer/winter experience!
Pics?

Welcome. Sounds like the MINI bug has bitten you. The good thing is an R52 and R53 are basically the same under the hood so mods will be easy for you as we have plenty of options and many good bang for the buck like a pulley to start with.

Would you considering turbo set up on these R52/R53 MINIs?
