Hello everyone finally an official member.

Hey folks finally I joined up last night. So I would like to say a formal hello to everyone. I am from Owings Mills, Maryland. I am a 36 year old male with a beautiful wife, 3 kids, a cat and a yellow lab. I picked up my Chili Red Mini Cooper S earlier in November. Its an 09 with the winter, sport, comfort package and run flats. I got the full stock NAV system with the iPod hook up. I have the fog lights, driving lights and JCW full body kit installed. I had them put the standard black stripes with the white pin stripes. I love the look of those. On my own I have blacked out the chrome ring around the middle of the car. I have swapped the antenna with the little baby sized antenna. I have a single mount badge holder for the front and plan on getting the dual license plate badge holder for the rear. I have installed the goMini license plate adapter. I also just swapped out the standard mini emblems and put the BMW Mini ones on the front, boot and steering wheel. Hopefully next week I am going to get my windows tinted. Besides that it depends on what the misses wants to get me for Christmas for it. I picked the mini up from BMW Towson Mini, my salesman was Evan. I would like to give him much props because he really took care of me. I bugged him for about 3 - 4 months before I finally made the purchase. I am looking forward to going on some mini runs and checking out those member mags. I will post some pics tomorrow after I get her washed.

Hi Iceman72

Welcome, I'm new here myself, I got my JCW on Oct 27th. and I really love it. I see you got the right color , You will really like this Forum and if you need anything for your new Mini the Nam supporting venders are great. At least the two I have bought from were.

Welcome!
I couldn't help but laugh about the stuff you've already done to your MINI -- check out my gallery. You'll find a lot of similarities!

Perhaps Santa can deliver you the JCW tuning kit. I'm getting mine installed today. I heard so much about this "upgrade" and just had to have it!

Cheers,

The mini is such a fun car to do things to. I guess we all think alike I will probably get the tuning kit in the spring. Right now I am working on getting all the aesthetic external and internal things done. Next I plan on getting carbon fiber handles, mirrors, scoop cover, and dash. If my wife gets me what I want for Christmas I may be getting some nice rims
