2003 Mini Cooper S - Liquid Yellow

In the process of purchasing a 2003 Mini Cooper S, Liquid Yellow. Will be flying on 19Jan2025 to Phoenix to complete the transaction. Call me crazy for purchasing a car unseen from the original owner. Just here to learn a little more about Mini Cooper S. Wish me luck.

Welcome to NAM and R53 ownership very soon! Are you buying "Number 59"? I posted a link to that car on another forum topic a few weeks ago, with it seeming to have good potential - once defarkled and cleaned up a bit. BTW, I've agreed to purchase more than one used car sight unseen, as I suspect others here have done as well...

Yes, I hopefully will be the new owner of Number 59. I have been researching on the proper way to remove decals/stickers from car paint properly. It is going to take a few weeks to clean it up the way I want. The engine bay requires a bit of work to clean it up.

Yes, I am hoping to relocate "Number 59" to Texas. I have been researching on how to properly remove decals/stickers from automobile body panels.
