Modding In The Midwest

Hi All-

I am brand spanking new to this forum so you'll have to forgive me if I don't know all the fancy abbreviations and stuff yet (just give me time) . So, I should be expecting my Mini sometime in August and I plan on having work done to it...so I kinda wanted to see where everyone gets there work done and if anyone can recommend a shop to me?? How are the local mini dealerships with a new car warranty and modding??? I'm getting my from Bill Jacob's Mini in Naperville and I don't want to mess up my very nice warranty! I can't wait to be driving!!

First, Welcome and congrats on your new MINI

Second, I can't help with the modding (with a cabrio, whats to mod )

Finally, make sure you check out the CMMC site for local events.

I've been quite pleased with my DIY attitude towards mods, and the dealer hasn't complained (and I've had alot of warranty work done). I love working on my MINI and learning more and more about it.
