Just got a 2003 MINI S...
VERY COOL! I am very excited about this car, and this is my first post on NAM. The mini is like a go-cart with a supercharger, truly unique!!
I was looking to get new floor mats in black with white piping, anybody know where I can get them?
Also the dealer said I need new control arm bushings, during my pre-purchase inspection. I have searched and they seem inexpensive, any reason why I should do it at the dealer and not at a Privately Owned BMW Mechanic Shop?
A little about the car: 2003 Mini Cooper S, Laser Blue w/black Stripes, Pano, Leather, 6Disc, Driving Lights, ProMini Intake, UniChip, Pulleys, DI Nos Kit (which was just installed, but dealer upon inspection says it was done right)
Thanks guys! Hope to get to know you guys soon.

Sounds good welcome to the club! My question with all that work just done why was it sold? If anyproblems show in the next 3 months are they going to cover it since they ck'ed it out? As for the bushings the parts are cheap the labor is the problem I would get prices from both- dealer should cut you a deal if you got the car though them for labor.
Congrats; and welcome to NAM!!!
Just be careful with the "mod bug". Everything in my sig happened in less than a year and i'm still not done. (actually on my 3rd setup too) Granted not as bad as some people on here, but still a lot of money.

I didnt buy it at the dealer, just got the inspection done. I dont think they will warranty it in anyway.
As far as the mod bug. I know. I have my M3 which is nicely done. This car is just so cool, and trendy I think the more I mod it, the more enjoyable it will be to drive around!
