Now that I bought my first Mini (off the lot), what can I do to customize it beyond what came with it? What if I want racing stripes that was not on this one? what if I want to amp up the performace with a JC package? What if....? Am I to leverage the mini dealership here in Charlotte for all this? what are my best options to make this this uniquely mine??

thanks in advance!!!

 

Nice Car. Is that a JCW ? Anyway, just punch in Mini Cooper Accessories on the search bar and you'll find many vendors with Everything from stripe kits to major engine mods. The Dealer also has almost every item for sale , but prices are really expensive. Good Luck and Have fun modding....

 

Congrats on jumping into the mini madness. Before you run to the dealership for upgrades take sometime to research what you want. Here on NAM is a good place to look around and make an informed decision. Somethings you can purchase from aftermaket vendors that may save you a ton of money versus the dealership. Good luck, welcome to NAM, and motor on.

 

It's not a bad drive from Charlotte to Atlanta...home of Way Motorworks. He can set you on the right path. http://www.waymotorworks.com

 

Thanks.. Not JCW but a Mini S. The new twin turbos is surprising fast though

 

Sorry to burst your bubble but its a single turbo'd machine.

 

Yep your right - I meant to reference "twin scroll" turbo. My mistake. Nice to have a complete power band through-out the rpm range.

Cheers!!

 

You should be able to find a local shop to do custom stripes for you. That way you get exactly what you want and get it for a half decent price (much less than the dealer)

 

I put stripes on mine for $100. For this price I can change out colors or design and not feel guilty.
