First post to NAM

Hello mini people! I recently purchased my first mini. A 2011 Cooper S. And I am in love with it! It's my 3RD car ever and it's definitely already my fav of all time. I can't wait till I can afford some cool mods. I used to have a 2007 Acura rsx and I never did anything to that car. I really dint like it that much. But with this car, I want to customize everything and luckily you can I you have the money. So I'm here looking for what will suit my style. My mcs is pepper white and has sport, cold weather and premium packages.

I was wondering also if I have the xenon lights and power fold mirrors, does that meen I'm supposed to have the power wash headlights? Because I looked under my hood and the washers are there but there isn't a hose connected to either of them, it's like I have them but I just dont Have the button or hoses.

My first mod was getting the windows tinted and adding the "rubbish" bag and checker board rear view mirror. I am planning on getting the extra mini fog lamps and since the black head light housings are $500 from the dealership in raliegh NC, I'm just going o get the lamin-x tint and front bumper protector. My big purchases will be the black conical rims ( I have the silver ones) and either coil overs or lowering springs ( I don't know much about suspensions) and aero kit and big brake kit. So I'm here trying to build my shopping list and see what I have to save for.

I also have the extended warranty and I don't want to void it so Im guessing I will have to start with adding JCW stuff. Is that right? Wel that's about it for now. Thanks everyone! Oh and my mini's name is Betty White lol

CONGRATS and welcome! Mods are so very addicting! Make sure you make a custom badge from gobadges.com! They are awesome and its a cheap fun way to add some "YOU" to the car!
