Hey all,

well I went for the car I had looked at in my previous post, got it for £12495 with a tank of fuel thrown in as well.

I can't wait for it and neither can my Mrs, just wondering now what nice aftermarket (or mini) accessories are available for it that you guys recommend?

just the big GRIN that you get when driving!

well done mate

I think the side skirts from the aero kit set it off nicely,you can replace the orange front indicator bulbs for clear ones easily,a bee sting aerial is also reasonably cheap...and on and on and on !

I know what you mean! When I picked mine up, the presentation was "nice and shiny" and it did look nice! However.... I like "smooth and Glossy" theres a huge difference!

I spent about 3 hours a night for a whole week getting the paint to MY standard! although I dont have a PC I have to do it all by hand!

I like you style mate

I take it you are the owner of the forum? I was wondering if there is an owners club for the new mini?

I was also looking to see if there was any comics available for the new mini, all I seen was Mini world. I used to buy that as a kid but not sure if it covers the new mini?
