Late to the game but just bought one, no stripes 91,000 miles and the touch up paint was in the glove box. Thanx for a great video, made me go buy one.
I'm normally not a R52 fan, but would've loved to get my hands on one of these. Really nice. The 05/06 R50/3 (and 07 R52) are the only MINIs to have, IMO.
@@BaldadonisMike2021 I have a 2005 R50 (had it since new) that is heavily tuned and modified (big brakes all around, chipped, cam, exhaust, headers, aluminum training arms, camber plates, bigger injectors and throttle body... and on and on!). Brings a smile to my face every time I drive it. Do all the work on it myself. Oh, and goes without saying that it's a MANUAL transmission!
Hey there! Yes I sold it for I believe $14k I wanted $16000 but time the title came in it was already Oct and sold it on Halloween just to move for the Winter..otherwise I think I would have gotten more for it in the Summer..I liked that car a lot ! How many miles you have on yours?
Hey mike. I just bought a mini Cooper S convertible sidewalk identical to your's but without the stripes. How do I know if it's a JCW n if it's what number it is out of a hundred. I'm Mike also from Hawaii. The car is originally from Maryland. Awryt. like to here back.
would say jcw on the engine /exhaust tips are much bigger w jcw logo on them..call Mini w vin # ..Thats great you got one! Even if its not a jcw..just have fun!
If you have one of these cars there is a lighted emblem when you open the door on the kick plate. It will tell you what number you have. Mine says “33 of 100”
You sure you have one ? Sidewald Edition can be had w/o the JCW..One way simple..look at the door sill ..you will see the Bulldog ...Look at its face and should be the number!..You can call your local Mini Dealer see if they have info on it..They Will give the stats of the car..jcw edition/sidewalk package etc etc
How do I get the little bit of dirt out of my convertible top? Is that hand sanitizer will do it. And what's that fabric conditioner you use? Do you know this video that you have on this car is probably one of your most popular viewed cars. I have the same one just in mine's. Not in black mine's in the sparkling silver metallic beautiful little cars. I'm restoring mine right now
Use a vacuum w soft bristles..also hair and lint clothes roller w the sticky paper works great as well..but washing have to be careful use a very soft bristle brush ..go easy Hand sanitizer use for tree sap..rub in and blot out can be annoying but most should come out..to seal the top buy Raggtopp protection (its like Rain X for you top, gives it a nice refreshed look while water repels off..Raggtopp does offer a cleaning/protection package with the brush! The Mini was dark blue not black but hard to tell ..The Toyota videos are much more viewed as its more common car for people to buy vs a Mini ..I just bought a 2007 FJ Cruiser 6 speed w 316000 miles and that video is coming this weekend ..Thank you for the comment and hope I helped with some of your questions? Im always looking for a R52/R53 ! So dont be surprised if I get 1 soon...
Thank you for replying back to me. I love your channel and honest you are about your vehicles. Do you have links to the that sanitizes you said but the sap that gets the dirt off the roof?
Like 2 fully watched and just finished watching what a transformation you did on this mini it's like brand new now the new window screen topped it off and taking off the white stickers. Excellent job
I Just saw the same model and color today and spoke briefly with the owner of that paticular car out and about today! (didnt get the serial number though...👍)
Thanks 👍 Jara,1 car i will miss! Nice being a enthusiast is that i like so mant cars that i can try to enjoy them all but i dont have the money to own them lol..so i get to have fun until they sell and find another cool car !
I’ve gone double platinum lol Another great video Magic Mike...was a blast driving #77! Appreciate the plug for BattlegroundsUSA! Can’t wait to see the mini pull $25k on BaT!
one place is on door sill in the bulldog ..been awhile since I owned it..but w vin # at Mini dealership I think it you can find out..there is a site just for those cars I believe ,they tell you what number they have..you see one for sale??
@@BaldadonisMike2021 i just bought a sidewalk Cooper s black interior with 30k miles ☺️ Someone told me there were very rare like that cause most of them have brown interior…
thats awesome! i sold the car on Halloween day 2020...great car,i loved it..i love jcw r52's! The touch up paint might be at dealer..i ordered mine from Mini of Bedford New Hampshire ...you might be lucky call the dealership only few left! how many miles you have? will you be selling it soon? :)
I have #33 of 100. I purchased it new in 2008. I have just over 40,000 miles on it. It in mint condition. Great Car!

How do you find out your vehicle production number. We bought one without initially realizing what it was.
