Thanks for everyone comments

Just been out putting some more miles on it and its really much better than I expected it would be. Also so far everything seems to be working as planned (fingers crossed

)

From a selfish point of view - What do you think of the Hi-Fi upgrade? Worth the £320? Also I've specced out the dark grey colour lining with black lounge seats - does it look ok? Was worried it'll look a bit cheap - I see you've got it and it looks nice!

Thanks

I like the Hi-Fi upgrade, its a definite improvement over the standard boost system. I'm sure you could get a better system by going aftermarket, but personally I wanted to keep my car standard so decided the Hi-Fi was the best option.

I like dark interiors so I am biased but I think it looks great

Gives the car a very premium look IMO

DeadCanDanceR · Feb 1st, 2007, 01:16 AM

Dazmac13 · Feb 1st, 2007, 01:23 AM

looks great, will look absolutely awesome with the aero kit. Ive gotta wait till march for mine :-(

Ryephile · Feb 1st, 2007, 04:14 AM

Great looking MCS! The dark blue and white reminds me of my R53, an excellent color combo! *thumbs up* You're the first I've seen with the anthracite headliner and hi-fi stereo, I like it alot [good thing too 'cuz that's what I ordered, LOL]

Also, I see your bonnet gap if quite tight looking, much better than the ones that were at the Detroit auto show I saw in person. Would it seem MINI has [pun] tightened things up at the factory?

Happy Motoring!

I'm really happy I went for the Dark Grey interior line now and not the cream white seeing your pics... now just need to decide whether to go for Astro Black or Dark Silver

Griffer · Feb 1st, 2007, 10:44 AM

Nice car.....but then I am biased.

AidenL · Feb 1st, 2007, 11:22 AM

Congrats Olly, looks great

You deserve a great one, you have been one of the most avid supporters of the R56 and one of the most keenly aware of the nuances of speccin' it - hope you have many happy miles of driving ahead.

ben__allen · Feb 1st, 2007, 12:41 PM

Looks ace mate

Congrats!!

Olly. · Feb 1st, 2007, 01:57 PM

Thanks again for the comments

Car dealt with its first city centre commute perfectly this morning, it was incredibly comfortable and so far its averaged 38.3 mpg since I picked it up. I can't wait to start getting that down though

sel · Feb 1st, 2007, 02:00 PM
