I pay someone else to do it. I know I'd be good at it if I had the time to learn it but I just don't. So I don't worry about it.

Count me in....

Starbuck has quite a few mods, and as soon as I have additional funds, there will be more. . I paid to get the JCW suspension and the M7 brake rotors installed, but I did everything else either alone or with my dad helping.

I love modding! My first (a 2002 MCS) was quite stock.

Once I actually take possession of my MINI, then you can count me in on this.

(I've been known to intimidate the guys by the fact I'm a 'girl' who turns wrenches on my Jeep)

Of course, it might take time to have mad money to do some mods once I have him...

Another female mini owner here. No mods yet -- she's only 6 days old! -- but if my desktop computer, laptop, and home theater system are anything to go by, I'm sure I'll mod my baby every which way eventually. And have a blast doing it, I'm sure!

Count me in. Nothing under the bonnet yet, but will be putting in an Alta intake soon; there really aren't many performance mods available for a non-S R56 yet.

15% tint on sunroof, rear, and back windows
35% tint on door windows

Suspension:
H&R 19mm rear sway bar
Craven strut tower defenders

Outside:
JCW grill and black surrounds
beltline blackout
blacked out head and tail light rings
Alta super stubby antenna.
Side reflector tint

Inside:
Dynamat sound dampening throughout
Professionally installed full aftermarket audio upgrade. Kept the headunit but with a JCL Cleansweep.
iPod interface
Whalen
Cocomats
Kuda mount

When one is available, aftermarket exhaust.

Think of "cosmetics" as a first step in the mod process...

I'm SO happy!
