Hey all. I've been a lurker here for a few years now and finally posting my car. Bought it in March of 2011. It's all stock except for a K&N drop-in filter and the suspension. This is the Sport model (ha, what a joke that was) so the shocks/struts were fried after around 5 years. I went with the Bilstein B-12 ProKit and did the Poly Control Arm Bushings at the same time. Love the ride so far after around 5 days. Pic taken from my crappy camera phone....

Personalizing your MINI is what it is all about. Great cars everywhere in here.

Can't wait to get mine unloaded from the truck this week and get started.
