Its Arrived!

Well finally my Cooper S arrived after being delayed so many times its nice to finally see it and get to drive it

So far i'm very impressed with everything, the Hi-Fi sounds good, the climate control seems very good, sunroof is great, Bi-Xenons are excellent. I also don't think i'll ever tire of pressing a button to start the car now, just so cool Very pleased with the colour, even though I waited a long time to get this colour it looks great

Also very happy with the interior, its all black with brushed alloy and chrome and really makes the interior look the part

The car only have 3 miles on it when I picked it up, but already everything is starting to loosen up nicely. Still a lot more miles to go before its run in though

Now all I have to wait for is the Aero Kit & the iPod connector

A couple of pics of it while its still nice and clean

Sorry Olly, after all these months of talking about it I just don't like it.















(Only kidding mate, I'm really pleased for you, glad it's finally yours! )

Sweet ride. Test drove the new S the other month, was very impressed loved the interior and the start button, very cool Glad to hear your opting for the aero kit think they add a much sportier look.

Excellent choice of color. Great looking car.
I have mind on order with the same color combo: lighting blue with white top. I am wondering if you got the chrome exterior also. If so did you op out of the chrome side mirrors?
Also how's the interior with the brushed alloy and chrome, looks very smart on pictures. If possible more interior shot please

Those flame alloys look the part. I've ordered those but I was never sure about them. Now I'm glad I did!

Enjoy the car.

Looks fantastic Olly!

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!
