Well, lets see. It's basically a base model, except for heated seats and the big cup holder by the stereo. I will however add in some other factory accessories such as a armrest, license plate frame, glove box organizer, Ipod Adapter, and couple other things. As far as mods to it, I'm keeping it stock for now. I have no need to make it faster.

Sorry guys about not responding, I've been busy. Anyway, it has 25k miles on it and for the most part it's a base model except for the addition of heated seats and the extra cup holder by the stereo. I will add in other factory accessories in the weeks to come though. As far as aftermarket stuff to it, I'm not bothering with that for now.

I happen to like the MCS LITE model. I have one myself. No need for all that stuff when the car is pretty well equipped right out of the box. Be very careful, the mod bug may strike you when you least expect it. Enjoy your ride.

I'll be prepared for it.

If I do any mods to it, maybe I'll do some JCW stuff to it down the road, but it's quick enough as it is.

One of my older brothers got a chance to drive it. Lets just say he's jealous. He drove it like he was at the track. I was a bit hesitate and I don't think I'll let him drive it again unless he'll be a little nicer to it. My other brother hasn't driven a stick in a while, but he at least got a chance to sit in it (having never sat in a Mini before) and he's jealous as well.

I also filled her up today after about 251 miles since I got it and averaged 27.2mpg. Even with my slight heavy foot over the first few days of driving it, I was surprised.

The previous owner I know took care of it very well.

I think it's one of the proper colors for a Mini.
