Even though this is not against the guidelines, it may be easier to get interest if you post some vital information here and keep the link up. Once you know what you want for you MINI and are ready to sell, than start a new thread with the information needed in the Marketplace Guidelines.

I updated the thread with mileage pictures and price i guess to make it easier i can just copy and paste the important info here and if you have more issues you can contact me.

Original Thread
So i might have to find smurfette a new home, that being said i want to put her up here and just list everything so that if theres any interested parties they can know about it.

Smurfette is a 2006 MINI Cooper S, she is Hyper Blue Metallic with a White Roof and Mirrors and White S-Lite wheels. She has the Sport Package which includes DSC (Dynamite Stability Control), 17" wheels, foglights, and Xenon headlights, she also has the Premium Package which includes the Multi-function steering wheel, which gives you cruise control and stereo controls, Automatic Air Conditioning and the On-Board Computer which allows you to track average speed, current and average MPG, as well as miles left till empty.
I gave her the LSD (Limited Slip Differential) and the Rear Fog light on the outside. And on the Inside Smurfette has Gray and Black Leatherette seats, an Anthracite Headliner, Chrome lined interior (which includes the gauges, AC vents, and a few other places), she also has the Harmon/Kardon Sound system and a interior Dash body color treatment meaning the dash and the door rings are Hyper Blue to match the outside.

Thats how i picked her up brand new, since then she has been treated like a queen, washed every 2 weeks and waxed once a month. She has had some new additions since rolling off the show room floor. She has a lowered sport suspension using H&R sport springs, ALTA rear lower control arms and a H&R 19mm Sway Bar. Her boot has been debadged of everything except the MINI wings. She also didnt like looking like an RC car so i gave her a ALTA shorty antenna. She has never had a front plate to ruin her classic good looks. She has however recieved a blacked out grill and a sporty red rubber dipped tow hook to give her that just off the track look. She recieved some new shoes not too long ago in the form of BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW performance tires in a 205/45ZR17 size.

She currently has several lighting upgrades in the form of LED lighting. Almost all the bulbs have been replaced with LEDs the benefit there is lower energy consumption for the electrical system and little to no heat from the bulbs. Plus the look cool. Not all of the bulbs may end up staying on her but the majority will. Lights that are currently LED are, all interior lights including the dome, puddle lights under the doors, foot well lights (using 12" LED strips), map lights and the boot light (again using 12" LED strips), the only thing that does have a LED light is the glove box. On the outside the front running lights as well as the side turn indicator lights are LED, the side markers (reflectors) are as well. The rear has a clear 3rd brake light and she has some exclusive LED taillights which she is the onlyh one in Texas to have. The only lights that arent LED are the turn signals front and rear and the front and rear fog lights.

Under the bonnet she has a few things as well, i gave her a full ALTA intake system with a Red hose to help her breath better and Red Kingsborne plug wires to help her keep that electric personality alive. I also have a ALTA 0% crank pulley that has never been install on her but it may get sold before the she does. As soon as i get home tonight i will post some pictures of her for everyone to see. And if you would like to contact me and ask questions my email is irishmykl@mac.com and my phone # is 817 703 7610

As of this post the car has 26,343 miles on it. Here are some pictures









A few weeks ago i ran over a truck tire and it knocked off the passenger side front fender trim, you can see it in the pictures above or here



But i have since fixed that and replaced the fender trim however since i had the smoked reflectors on there and you can only buy them as a set i had to replace them with the original orange and red fender reflectors.

I am debating putting the factory airbox back and selling the ALTA intake separately. Same with the LED taillights im thinking of putting the stock ones back on and selling or letting my dad have for his MINI. I think the suspension will stay cause its too much of a hassle to swap back to OEM on that and i would have to get another alignment.

BTW i think a good starting price is $24,500 OBO
