DIY I need a southern Mikeythemini!

So, my cooper should be with me very very soon now

But I need to get a bluetooth kit for my mobile fitted. The one I'd really like is the Parrot CK3200 (the one with the colour screen).

Now if I lived nearer to Mikey the answer would be obvious , but sadly I don't

So does anyone have any recommendation's for fitters of these kind of kits say within the M25, preferable SW London or Surrey.
Though I can also do most of the M4 and Kent! :-)

Thanks.

Yes we Southerners need a Mikey - sometimes we can fell left out.

Mikey - we need a Southern branch / franchise

I have previously used Wentworth Car radio - in Wentworth. They are good and are used by Sytner Sunningdale. They did my GP with Alarm, tracker, ICE upgrade, Parrot and Tom Tom - they did a really good job.
WTCR - Audio, Multimedia, Security, Tracking, Phones

Of course mine was an R53 and they had done a number of R53 - I do not know about their knowledge of R56.

You could always try the Sound Gallery in High Wycombe, they have always done a great job on my cars. My GP has had head unit, amps, dynamat, bass box all fitted there. Very professional, they do all phone kits, multi media, everything.

Not sure on how to post links but the website is The Sound Gallery In Car -* We Sell Great Audio i think!

Err and what's wrong with taking your MINI on a little driving adventure up to Formby!

We've driven up there and back in one day a couple of times now!
(and yes we are southerners! )

Get your car booked in and Mikey can do his magic while you wait!

Exactly, there is no such thing or will there ever be as another Mikey the MINI, never mind a southern one.

If you want your MINI to have work done by a guy that has worked on them since the classic, who owns and loves MINI's, and also has the skills to work on Bugattis and other premium brands then there is only one Mikey, and he is the only person I trust to do work on my MINI and have and will always take that drive up north from the South Coast to see him

The only problem I have is knowing which one to drive?
