Hello all!
My name is Shaun, I work in the Oil and Gas industry in the North Sea, I'm 19 years old and drive an R50 '03 Mini Cooper.
Hobbies include cleaning the Mini, photography, and of course.. driving!
My Mini came into my life in June this year, so our relationship together so far has been somewhat short. But in that time, I've tried to make her stand out from the crowd a little.
I bought her with a full BMW service history, 63,000 miles, a 1 year warranty and absolutely no modifications.
She's now sitting on 18 inch OZ racing alloys (which are in dire need of a refurb! :( due to being second hand alloys)
She has a K&N air filter, runs only on super unleaded and is always used with Castrol GTX oil. So she's still relatively standard... and that's why I'm here.
I'm looking for some quick, effective and more importantly.. tasteful.. modifications to do. Also looking to go into the bigger stuff, too. Spoilers, skirts, bumpers and exhausts etc.. but my mother always told me to start small, then aim higher. So I'm going to listen to her on this one.
Past cars include:
a 2002 MK4 VW Golf GTI (1.8T 180bhp)
a 2000 Renault Clio Alize (1.4 16v 100hp)
a 2001 Mercedes C200 Kompressor
and a Mitsubishi Pajero 2.5 Auto
...So it's safe to say I've got varied taste!
Oh and I should add, I've been signed off work for the next 5 weeks with an injury to my chest, so I have a bit of time to play with the site and get used to it, and of course my car!
Look forward to learning a wee bit more about my car!
Shaun.
