Back in February, I traded my '07 MCS in for a '12 MCS. The 07's Timing Chain Adjuster backed out and puked ALL of the oil out of the engine. It was all fixed under warranty by NW MINI - they touched it before. The motor didn't sound the same to me afterwards and I didn't trust it any more.
The old MINI:  And the NEW '12 MCS:   |

Wow, nice! I don't blame you for not trusting the old one. After something like that, I feel my MINI has been violated!

If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough.

Thank you.
I have some chromed brake air scoops for the front air dam. I think I would also like to continue the stripes all the way down. Oh, and maybe some real license plate frames...  I think the real mod will be for me. I'm looking into some classes and I have been watching all of the posts on this site. |

I wish there was a local MINI Dealership, like our Honda, Subaru, Mazada and VW.

Yup, you have to love the re-sale red, most of my stable is either red or black. |

Great-looking MINI
Gotta love that red. I can't think of any car that wouldn't look good in RED.
As for extending your stripes, we have a few people on here that do all kinds of graphics, including stripes.
Cheers!
