So I bought it today

Thanks to all who helped me with this. I bought my MINI today. I changed my mind and went with the Silver 04 MINI with 8k miles over the PW due to how clean it is and the fact that they dropped the price a lot more for me. The PW had a few chips and things and the Silver looks new. Thanks again to all the help you guys gave me. I have a feeling I may become a regular here I have one picture in the gallery that I took when I got it home. It's dark outside so it's flash photo.

Looks amazing...congrats!!! Although a PS/B was the very first MINI I ever saw (in 02), they seem rarer than one might expect, at least around here. Nice.

Nice!

All it needs is a graphic of Craig from Designer's Republic doing the two-fingers two ways.

Welcome to the fold!

Congrats on coming to a decision you seem very happy with and on the purchase, vestanpance !

She's a beaut !! And I see a lot of opportunity for FUN when I look at her... got any ideas on mods yet ? Bonnet stripes, roof graphic, something less dramatic maybe ?

By the way, did the seller mention if he or she has sought therapy yet ? Having a two or three year old MINI and only driving it 8,000 miles is an indication of a sick mind.

I purchased my 2002 MCS about two months ago and it had only 21,000 miles. Think it was a weekend car.

That's a good lookin' MINI. Take a big slug of the Kool-aide and let the crazyness begin.

Nice looking Mini, enjoy the ride. I have only had my Mini the start of 3 weeks and I am having a hard time leaving it parked to do some MODS... but I would rather motor as my cell phone voice mail prompt says "I am out motoring so leave a message..

Nice MC! I like the blacked-out grille. I agree with Uncle John's advice...get ready for the mod-bug to hit you...that MINI looks like a blank slate!

thanks for all the love! I want to do some mods to it but don't really know where to start. Btw the grill is not blacked out, it's chrome. The flash just didn't pick it up. The first thing I am going to do it get some of those rubber floor mats. It snows here and I don't want to ruin the nice and clean inside. I was thinking about that chrome kit for the inside, does anyone have that installed? If so do you have any pictures of it?

I've never tried to do car mods so it will have to be the easy stuff first.
