Finally got my first Mini!!! R53! on Christmas eve

I have wanted a Mini Cooper now for couple of years, and I finally got one on Christmas eve~! It's a 2004 Mini Cooper S with 95,000 miles on it. I'm going to be putting a solid white stripe with a pin-stripe around it on the front because some yahoo scrapped the old ones off and it looks horrible.




After a wax and detail cleaning





My mini with my first truck 93 Ford Ranger (had it since 2005) 170,00 miles

That had to be one of the best Christmas eve's ever! Nice going. The same color combination/wheels/everything like the first R53 I drove and made me a Mini follower.

Post more details when you get a chance. It's a great driving car, but you already know that.

Welcome to NAM! Congratulations. Give www.mightystripes.com a shout as they should be able to get you the stripe you want for your R53. If you ever need anything please be sure to let me know.

Welcome and nice ride

Love the blue and the fog lights.
The stripes will definitely give it a b** a** look.

Yep. Agree with above. The blue the white top, plus the "Pana" styled silver wheels. It's a full classic package.
