Some of you may have seen me asking for reccomendations for a new car. Well I found one. 2002 Mini Cooper S, in Electric blue/white top. Ive had it about a month now and Ive had a few things to fix. Like a leaky coolant tank, and torn strut mount boots. But those are done. While I was doing the strut mounts I decided to do some Tein s-tech springs. Not a huge drop but cleans up the wheel gap.

Nice car! I want to drive one of those sometime.

P.S. You can remove that little strip of vinyl around your oppo sticker. It is just excess vinyl that occurs when they are making them.

P.P.S. I really like that blue

Very cool! Congrats! Also, why did you keep the border on the Oppo sticker?

I like the strip around it... Electric blue is only available on the S model in the US. So that makes me like it even more knowing its kind of special.

Did you cut this one? A friend of mine has the same but his is a + sign with the same measure the y axis and the x axis.
But honestly i like it more like you have it.

Ordered my Save The Stick(er) a few days back and it should be next to my OPPO one soon... Congrats on the new ride.

Thanks, I felt weird about having the full + on the car, so I trimmed it a bit.

Yeah I trimmed it a bit, I felt weird about having a big red cross on the car.

I'll probably have to do the same thing - mine are currently in my rear doorsill, with my track outlines. Trying to stay a bit sleeper...

NAM seems to be the only active Mini forum I've found. I've had an account on there since Nov, but just recently picked up a Cooper month ago.
