New member some help needed
 

Just pick up 2006 mini s manual with 95000 miles, Like to know some things. 1st it chili red with a silver top, But they removed the stripes and I like to know where the original stripe pattern goes and do they sell them in silver like the top to match the color or only white. And I was told the top around the sun roof was checkered and were I can buy the matching kits for the car. Also is there anything as far as maintenance or important thing I need to do or look for IE supercharger, timming chain as far as mileage or general ?. 3. Any good independent mechanics in north jersey. Thank for and insight and help. Pat ps strut tower are good

Congratulations and welcome! Go to MightyStripes - Motoring Towards Unique - MINI Cooper Decals. They make stripes for MINI's and can help you out with the pattern as well as viable options. Make sure to keep up on the regular maintenance and replace/fix things when they arise. We have a good article here about the CBS intervals on MINI's. Take a look at it as it has some useful information. Otherwise, good luck and enjoy your new MINI!
