Finally my Mini Cooper S arrived at the dealer. They are working on it to have the iPod interface and some other stuff installed, but I can pick it up next wednesday. Here are some pics:

Very nice! The interior and those black wheels look great!!! Congratulations!

Mini Me GB · Feb 2nd, 2007, 10:35 PM

Looks awesome, congrats

radiospace · Feb 2nd, 2007, 10:35 PM

That car is definitely going to turn heads once it's on the road.

mister.t · Feb 3rd, 2007, 05:19 PM

That looks awesome!! Whats going on with the sat-nav ??? lol

muppet01 · Feb 3rd, 2007, 05:25 PM

Very impressive interior you must be please.

Congrats! A good looking ride. But I have a question; in the last photo there seems to be quite a bit of room between in the wheel arch and the wheel. Is this how all the R56 look? Those are 17" rims, right?

They look like the 18" JCW wheels. I figured the car was jacked up to install the rims. (Then again, maybe he's building a dune buggy...)

Fanis · Feb 3rd, 2007, 08:47 PM

Looks awsome...Enjoy it!!!

èrcé · Feb 3rd, 2007, 11:16 PM

I used a 10 mm lens which makes the picture looking a little bit strange.
And yes, these are the 18" JCW wheels and the car is jacked up for installing the rims.

As for the sat-nav, they are installing the iPod interface which is a hell of a job (as the constructor told me)

The top picture reminds me of the old 80's arcade game MOON PATROL!

Looks great!

On a sidenote... thank you for posting these specific pictures...
They finally made up my mind for me...
I will not have the iPod Interface fitted now - I did not realise that this amount of "invasion" is required!
They are practically deconstructing the dash!

Enjoy your new ride!

Congratulations!

As soon as they put it al together this will be a definite head turner a trap for anyone who is going to get into the car .Im sure that you are going to have big problems getting out of the car the interior is fantastic .
Tell them to hurry up we need more pics.

enjoy life with your new mini

pleae post new photos when it's at it's normal height.

Hey, the steering wheel is on the wrong side!!

Great combo of colours - it looks really classy - congratulations.

CC07ERS · Feb 4th, 2007, 11:50 AM

looks awesome mate now just the fun of driving it love the colour combo

msh441 · Feb 4th, 2007, 08:02 PM

Looks excellent!

Definately re-affrims my plan to get some 18" anthracite wheels and lowering springs as soon as my DS/W car (with Redwood Red, too) arrives in March.

Here's hoping the iPod interface install is easier with the regular (non-nav) head unit.

èrcé · Feb 5th, 2007, 02:22 PM

Yes, I want lowering springs as well, but I prefer the original JCW ones and as far as my information goes, they do not arrive before november 2007
