Hello yall. Just picked up a used 2011 MCS 6MT and very happy that I did. Been looking around the forum and trying to see what first mod to get. Perhaps the JCW Exhaust.

BossyR56 - Welcome to the MINI life. I'm becoming more fond of the Gen 2 these days - MINI had a line-up of Gen 3 MINI's in Battery Park today... I'm trying to like, but there's too many things that have gone awry.

Just one opinion.

Likewise, sometimes I like them......most of the time I don't. I've thought about what to do for my next car. My 2008 is near 100k and my 2012 is being driven sparingly these days but the day will come when it needs to be replaced too. Will it be time to buy used Gen 2 MINI's? I've definitely been convinced that another brand won't satisfy me as to community, performance, mods, events, enthusiasm for driving, and how it fits my life style. So now what......

Obligatory picture in a no parking zone haha

Also, not an R56, and not even my car, but check out what my last HPDE instructor was driving. I rode with him, he was FAST

Spent the weekend on the Blue Ridge Parkway and found some fun dirt roads to channel my inner rally racer.

Appreciate the response. I'm new to the Mini world, but not to German cars and modding. I've been searching high and low to identify my body kit style.

You're the man That's definitely the kit I have minus the front diffuser. Considering purchasing a slightly more aggressive one (diffuser).
