Mini just arrived! Now I'm really part of the club
Hi all! So my 1st Mini arrived yesterday afternoon. 2010 MCS MT. Black w/ white roof and black rims. I'm already in love. Although it does take some getting used to considering I've been driving a 1969 VW Karmann Ghia for the last 15 years. Unfortunately I only just discovered that it doesn't have the factory alarm installed, just the heartbeat light on top of the tach that doesn't ever come on. Does anybody in the Portland, OR area know anyone that can access the computer to turn on the blinking function even though there is no alarm installed? I hear this is possible.

ncsexpert is the program/process to get into the coding on the MINI. Check out some of these posts and see if anyone is from our area.
Welcome to the MINI crowd. There are quite a few of us in the this neck of the woods.
Great looking MINI, but why does it say "Charlotte NC" on the plate?

Applied Roof Stripes Last Night
So I applied the roof stripes last night. Came out pretty good. Wasn't too difficult. Pried up the windshield rubber and tucked front edge of each stripe underneath. Figured it would help prevent wind from plucking at the edge. Sadly, I thought I had 5in stripes on hood but it turns out they are 6in. Oh well, most people won't notice.

Nothing on the boot yet. I can do a nice mostly flat roof but that boot is all dips and ridges. I'll get a pro to do it. Someday. Going to get the windows tinted Thursday. Did you know that starting the first of the year it will no longer be a no no to get limo tinting on all rear windows, even sides? I'm going to jump the gun a little and get it done now. Will post pics Friday.

Looks good, nice job on the dual stripes or "viper stripes ". I would continue down the boot to complete the look, but whatever you decide. Good luck.
Really like the R98 Web spokes in black , look good with the black paint.

Installed MINI Projector light & Blue LEDs in footwells
So last night I did a little more customization. I installed a MINI emblem projection LED in the bottom of the door. Projects the MINI emblem on the ground when you open your door. Also installed a pair of BLUE LEDs in the foot wells. Wired them to the running lights. If you want to know how just ask. Enjoy the pics. I will take another of the door projection at night and post it too.
