HI from paulteix...

[paulteix]

Hi there folks,

after several visits on my site (mini4u.de) from lots of users from newminiscotland.co.uk I decided to see what is going on here... and... it was a good decision :D so as I am here now, something of me and my mini. My name is paulo, i live and grew up in germany (though I am from portugal) i am 43 years of age and now for the second time mini driver and absolute infected of this vehicle. my 1. one was a cooper i bought in 2003, which i had until april of this year. after lots and lots of mods and some years of fun, fun, fun it was time to give another one the opportunity to drive my cooper :smilewinkgrin: and go for an S and what should I tell you?? see and decide, if it was a good decision :yes nod:

I have to say i love it like it is, even the belt line looks right because it has so much black. However you've done a tip top job so far. Ment to ask where did you get the turbo badge from, like that idea.:thumbs up:

[paulteix]

it´s an original porsche one

[Just Jade]

greets, pauloI work in Baku and my employer has blocked photo websites so i can't see the linked pictures to certain sites.
Of course i can edit your post and see where you have hosted the pics, but, alas, still can't access that site.

As for my R53, supercharger gone, turbo installed and approx 330 BHP :clap:

[paulteix]
