Am I the unluckiest Mini driver? I've only had my Indi Blue MCS just under one month, when i'm at work its in a secure private car park, and each night at home its in the garage and I have to be the most cautious drivers around YET i noticed my first stone chip last week, and today a small dent just to the left of the front Mini logo. Anyone else had many wounds??

Stone chips are quite common, not much you can do other then live with it or some people get clear bras to reduce it, I personally don't like them though. Consider the chips marks of honor that you MINI gets from being well used

I got a small stone chip on my first weekend -- did a run through the Texas hill country (taking care not to follow any trucks too closely), and when I got home I found a small chip while polishing her back up. *sigh* Time for some touch-up paint!
