Well I figured its time to start a thread on the new car.

Here are the current stats and performance mods that came on the car.

218 hp 1.6 liter supercharged I-4  
6-spd w/OD Automatic Steptronic Transmission  
2.579 lbs

Now yes I know its an Automatic the wife had alot of say in the car and she cant drive a stick. So we compromised it has the paddle shift option which makes it pretty fun to drive.

M7 Air Diverter  
M7 DFIC  
M7 Hood Scoop  
M7 Supercharger Heat Shield Blanket  
M7 Exhaust Blanket  
M7 Strut Tower Brace

Exterior… ah hem “mods”  
JCW Carbon wing  
Carbon Hatch handle  
17" Enkeis with TPS monitoring  
M7 Carbon Splitter

Some of the nice OEM options  
Navigation  
HID’s  
John Cooper Works sway bars

So far the most Ive done to it was add an ipod interface and a “stubby antenna” because the wing was hitting the factory antenna.

Plans for the near future:  
M7 lower grille  
Rear fog light  
Air intake and heat shield  
Samco Intake Tube

Plans for the eventual future:  
17% supercharger pulley  
Scangauge II (code reader, electronic gauges, trip computer via OBD II port)  
Hope to send the Intercooler, intercooler pipes, and intake shield out for some powder coating and polishing this winter.

Not a big fan of the wing, but otherwise it looks good. Those mini’s are a blast!
