Hello
I have had my 03S for about six months now and I just found this site and wanted to say Hi.
Since it was owned by other people before me its a little different then I personally would have gotten it set up but its a manual S so I cant complain. However If anyone has any cheap and easy customizations I could make let me know.

Welcome to NAM!!!

Never too many questions, IC is intercooler, I find more bugs in there than anything else, though I did hear about one person who found a spark plug piece, I've actually been looking into following that persons lead and installing some type of "mail slot" protection. The VGS mod put me out about $3 and I had enough supplies left to put it on a second MINI, but its not really a must have. One I just did a few weeks ago was blind spot mirrors so now I need not turn my head to see EVERYTHING behind me, some places 4 times over, that went about $5 for 3 additional mirrors, one suction that covers everything parallel to the car out the side windows, and two stick-ons with 180-degree views off the side mirrors. You could also run with tow hook in place, and I painted mine for about $2. And I think a NAM decal goes for 4 bucks as well as a WRR decal. (Not 100% sure on those prices). Not all needed but cheap ways to make the car unique.

I took off those airbag stickers today it went pretty well but the yellow dye in them got onto the visor any ideas on how to get rid of that? its not real bad but its just a little yellow tinge thats kinda ugly when you look close.
