New to the R56, not new to MINI

Just recently purchased my 3rd Mini. I have a 4th one being built as a project car.

The new car (3rd one) is a 2013 Iced Chocolate Mini Cooper S with JCW tuning kit and exhaust. A pretty rare color as I've not seen any anywhere else and for that matter there isn't even a thread on NAM for this color. I started one but no one has bit yet.

Anyway, long story short (Too late) I'm enjoying being in an R56 and especially a Cooper S again as my second Mini was a Justa Clubman. My first was an R53.

Congrats that is beautiful

Let us know if we can help with any new parts, I have some black tail lights that would look perfect in it.

Oh, I would love the black tail lights. They'd look awesome. Been thinking of getting them but they're a bit pricey right now given the limited budget I have left for upgrades right now.

Welcome. Ice Chocolate is so rare, in the shadows it looks like black, i would black out the beltline chrome if you can.
