R56 Cooper S Number Two

Hi Everyone,

I have just got my second R56

Earlier this year I posted pics of my Mellow Yellow R56 some of you might remember I got a really good deal on the side skirts!

I decided with my mellow yellow mini being my 4th mini it was time for a change so a couple of months ago I sold her and within weeks realised I missed her so much I just had to have another one, I even contacted the dealer my mellow yellow was at and considered buying her back! ( She's now sold I hope shes gone to a good home )

Over the last few weeks everytime I passed my local mini dealer I just had to call in to look at them. Until last week when I fell in love again with a brand new Laser Blue Cooper S that they had just put in the showroom its perfect!

Spec:
Laser Blue with White Roof & Mirrors
White Viper Stripes ( just on the bonnet )
Chrome Air Vent
Chilli Pack
Punch Leather
Heated Seats
Pacific Blue Colour Line
Brushed Alloy Interior Trim

I bought the car that morning and couldn't belive that the dealer registered it by 5pm the same day when I collected the car

I arrived at work that day no one could belive that I had bought a car in the morning and was picking it up at teatime the same day!

I just couldn't wait for my private plate to be transfered I did that myself yesterday !

Well this is mini number 5 and by far my favorite, my daughter has called him Bertie because he's blue she said he had to be a boy.

If the rain stops later I will post some pics

sounds great Katy, look forward to see pics.

similar happened to ourselves with the cooper, ie seen it in the showroom and immediately loved it.

salesman was saying you can order a new one to your exact spec, but we really liked it the way it was.

best of luck

I love the colour too

I have to say its far easier to clean than my mellow yellow but I do miss my side skirts maybe a good deal will arise and i will have them fitted again.

Has anyone had them fitted recently ? If you don't mind me asking how much do they cost now ?

I'm also glad to have my xeon lights back I did miss them on my yellow mini after having them on my black cooper s before that ( I didnt think I would, but what a diffrence ! )

Thanks for the nice comments
