    I'm really curious about this stuff. How difficult was it to apply? 

    Application is not hard, but the key is proper preparation.  I washed the car then applied CarPro Essence Extreme by a buffer.  This perfects the paint and primes the surface for CQuartz.  Application of CQuartz is straight forward - wipe on one panel at a time with the supplied applicator and wipe off a minute or two later when the product "flashes" (you'll see it start to change color and show streaks).  I have done several cars.  Start to finish (with the wash, buff, and coating) was about 5 hours.  Other cars I have done have taken 2 days.  If you're handy, you can do this. Having it done by a pro costs between $750 and $1200.  You can get the whole kit and do it yourself for less than $200.  The shine and protection is amazing.

    Let the modding begin!  Installed a Black Jack interior mirror cover.  First mod on "Coopah".  I'll post a pic tomorrow when the weather is nicer.  Next up is a set of Black Jack exterior mirror covers.

    Mod #2: 40% ceramic tint done by Paul at Skyline Tint in Springfield (great shop; highly recommended).

    Welcome!

    I'm a former BMW convert as well. I tell everyone that I really don't feel like I gave up anything in comfort or quality by jumping over to a Gen 3 MINI. Love it!

    Hope to meet you at a club event soon!

    I agree. The interior is very comfortable and the convenience features are as good as any Bimmer I have owned (or better).  Knowing how I loved BMWs, all my coworkers laughed when I told them I bought a Mini, but when I took them outside and showed them, they were all pretty impressed.   I couldn't be happier with the switch to Mini.

    Welcome!!!
    I have a 2019 f55 4 door is a great year, did you get the union Jack tail lights?

     

    So does your MINI have a name yet? Mine are Amelia for the 2019 and Tigger for the 2006 Cabrio

    A bunch of us are planning to head out to MINIs on the Dragon next week. So you joined when we're all running around with Dragon brain.

     

    There's a happy hour this week, maybe you can come out

     

     

     

    Thanks.  Yes, got the Union Jack taillights.  His name is Coopah (Cooper with a Boston accent).  Picked it up from Sterling on Saturday and I can't stop driving it!  Yeah, I'll check out all the goings-on and get to know everyone.  Thanks.

    Hi everyone. Just bought my first Mini - 2019 Copper S, 2-door hardtop.  Have been a long-time BMW owner and decided to try something new.  Love it!  Have been active in the 3 Series and 1 Series forums.  Looking forward to learning a lot from this club.
