My first ever Mini

[JonGurney]

Hey guys. First time poster, long time lurker.

My first ever car is arriving on Monday 11th, 2005 Mini Cooper in Blackeyed Purple (gonna call the old girl Stella , white roof, white wingmirrors and white bonnet stripes. 60k miles on the clock. £5,300.

Shes a beauty. Any questions you guys got or general advice for a first time Mini owner?

more pics to follow :P

I always loved that colour. Lovely looking example and good price!

[JonGurney]

Aye I was a bit of a jammy git to get at that price 2 minutes after I brought it 2 different car loads came round the dealership enquiring about it..

My plans, apart from not totalling it in the next week, not really sure tbh. There are so many options and I could probably spend another few grand easy accessorising.. although... stainless steel pedals and some extra headlamps are my first choice I think

Opinions on some good mods?

[MINICooperMurph]

Maybe some white indicator lenses and chrome mirror caps?

Depends on your budget really. I wouldn't over do it though like some people do because they end up looking cheap

As above, clear side repeaters are a must.

Looks like you got a bargain there!

[CooperTrooper-Dan]

Total bargain, and cracking colour too

Congratulations. Love that colour.
