Hello just thought i'd introduce myself to this forum, i am pleased to say i am now a proud Mini JCW owner.
I picked him up a week ago friday, i'm will try to post some pics, but since i bought him i have had my back windows tinted and had some silver viper stripes added, the pics i post will are from when i first got him, i havent took any up to date pics yet but as soon as i do i will post them. Not sure if i've uploaded my pics right, but here goes....
Thanks for the replies, just a quick question, looking through different posts and people are referring to gen r53 and gen r56 what does this mean and what gen is mineuzzled: As you can tell i'm new to all things to do with mini. lol
You'll find lots of opinions here, both in favour of the supercharged original new MINI like yours, and equally in favour of the new R56 turbocharged model. At the end of the day, what does it matter? You've bought yourself a beautiful and exhilarating car, and a little slice of auto history at the same time!

Ahhhh thanks for the warm welcome guys n gals, reading some of the posts on this forum, makes me feel i've joined the right forum, LOTS of sound advice.
Welcome to the forum Nikki. I too have recently bought a JCW as well, you'll have so much fun, they are brilliant. Love the black look as well. Should get some pics up of it now it has changed if you can.
Hi gonna post some more pics up when i get the chance to give the car a wash and polish didnt realise how quick a black car would get dirty but i still love the colour and would'nt change it so watch this space
Great stuff. I know what you mean about black cars. I had a black R56 Cooper S as a company car and it was a nightmare. Looked great when it was clean though.
Hi Nikki
My car is dark silver, not to bad for showing the dirt.
My wife has a Astro Black car, that also does't seem to bad, maybe it's being metallic that helps!
Anyway it's only a bucket of water.............
Thanks
Dave
A couple of up to date pics of my new stripes and tints. I've just ordered an new black grill from ebay and then after xmas gonna get a couple of spots on the front.
Hi Dave, thinking about the black spots gonna take it to Mikeythemini in liverpool as he is hugely recommended on here, we'll also make a day of it in liverpool as my son is a huge LP supporter so should be a good day all round.
Nikki
Bit to far for me is Liverpool, need a weekend....
Shame about who your son supports....
Down here it's the Blues (Chelsea)
Good luck with the spots :biggrin:
Yeh he's a liverpool supporter lol, hubby goes mad that he doesnt support his home town but then again i would'nt even mention my home town as we are doing realy pants at the moment. :redface:
