New to the mini scene
 
Hello. I am new to owning a mini and have only had mine for about 6 months now. Its a fixer upper 2002 mini s. I'm hoping that I can pick up some good tips to help me fix my car up

Are you looking to improve performance or looks or both?

For now just fix it. How ever if you got great advice for any thing i am all ears. I never even owned a European car before so owning this mini has been a learning experience and a half.

Same here! This is my first Euro as well. Totally love it! Kinda feels like a lil race car whenever I turn the key. Haha!

Well here is a small list of what I did to my '04 R53. Alta 17% pulley, Alta intake, Alta full exhaust. Bavarian lowering springs, JCW alcantara shift knob, M7 shorty antenna, aftermarket front grill which I plastidipped. Looks so much better. Ziza led parking light bulbs. I think that's it for now. Not sure what I want next but i'm always looking for something. Haha! Peace!
