New mini owner

Hello all. I live in Southern MD. I just picked up a 04 Mini S last week. The Mini is going to be my daily driver. I also have a heavily modded Toyota Mr2. Looking forward to be apart of the mini family. I just love the car. Is there any good shops around the DC to take the car too? thanks

Nice. Aero kit and painted wheel arches. You already have the cosmetic mods that usually take a lot of consideration and effort to acquire. Take care of it.

You are going to want to take the car back to the dealer for all its free scheduled service. For in between, I recommend John Behe at Glenelg Service Center. He is a MINI owner and DCMM supporter. May be a hike for you, driving wise.

Welcome to NAM, teck2...great looking MINI. Nice of you to take the time to snap a pic for us in the bowling alley parking lot...

Are the pollen vents a part of the aero kit?

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. Im not sure what type of aero vents the car has, I thought it was a factory kit

Welcome! Where in MD are you?
We live in Annapolis, and I'm a board member of DCMM. Have you joined yet? I invite you to do so, if you want.

This Sat., from about 9:30 to noon, we have a free breakfast ( juice and baked treats) at Tate MINI on Rt. 50. It's open to all, so come on up and meet some folks.:smile: We can answer any questions you might have.

you must be refering to the Cowl scopes. The air inlets just below the windsheild. Those as far as I know are not part of any factory kit. But they sure do look sharp.
