As a car it looks great but as a cat, well it doesn't look much like one at all!!

Iblis · Jan 5th, 2007, 04:28 PM

hein, i saw the pics of ur car, in the link u put... why you have that i mark , when everybody have like the second pic?

Iblis · Jan 5th, 2007, 04:33 PM

my english is the worst

but i think u undertand me

He bought his car at the same garage as me, and I was told that this is a production fault. He has the interior roof topping of a RHD instead of a LHD

Iblis · Jan 5th, 2007, 11:43 PM

them... you have the sunprotector in the other side?

Ryephile · Jan 6th, 2007, 05:05 PM

COOL! I wonder if this means you can put an oh-crap handle on the drivers side of a LHD car?! I very much dislike the "sunshade" and a handle would be much more useful.

What don't you like about the wheels? Their diameter matches the car's proportions well, and he can get away with a visually light wheel since his car is all-black.

hi all

my car has sport suspension for the MCS, loweringsprings and koni fsd will follow next week

and about the headlining, the made a mistake at the plant, but it is easy to fix only have to change te to parts from left to right the headlining is the same on LHD and RHD

Not very far to honist, but stil great fun. Cant wait till its run in..... but I will, I must resist temtation.

Ive also noticed it has to be very bright for the auto lights to turn off, any one else found this? I have tried changing the settings but still seem to stay on.

mini_jim · Jan 7th, 2007, 06:35 PM

Took delivery of my R56 MCS in BRG yesterday - VERY happy with it!!

I am especially pleased with the interior. Let me know what you all think!

Cheers

Same here - lights always on so far, although it has been very dull today (as you can see from the pics)... Really pleased I specced the auto-wipers and auto-dim rear view mirror - very useful.

popey · Jan 7th, 2007, 07:08 PM

The auto wiper are fantastic and so is the Auto Dim Mirror, Im very happy with them all.

The Hi-Fi upgrade sounds very good, however I do have problems geting i good picture on the TV tho, also can only get a few stations.

BRG looks fab!!!

MiniMpi · Jan 7th, 2007, 10:10 PM

Found the same with my R56 auto-lights,they have been on all the time since I collected it on Friday!
The Auto wipers are way better than the last ones though.
And the Auto dimming mirror is beyond par.

Thats good news, the auto wipers on my 05 Cooper are good, but often need a friendly nudge to do what you want. The lights are great and so is the mirror, plus I could never have a car without a heated windscreen, makes so much difference on those cold starts.

Quinny · Jan 7th, 2007, 10:53 PM

Was I dreaming or did I read somewhere in all the Mini bumph the sentence ' Rear view dimming mirror does not work when car is in reverse' ....

.....Why bother even pointing that out... come on Mini get a grip ....and get my car built. Read today a few of you chaps went on the factory tour and saw some Dark Silvers being built .... Hope ones mine...
