Hey guys. Took delivery of my cooper today with 4 miles on the clock Here are the first pics, I appologise for my ugly mug being in them, they were the only ones taken during the day which my mum took Hope you like! Spec;

16" blasters
sports suspension
chilli pack
DAB radio
mini hi-fi
rooster red trim on seats
fluid silver trim
bi-xenons
white indicator lenses
fluid silver trim
auto lights on and wipers
auto dim mirror
red colour line

First impressions are that I love it, white wheels look fantastic IMO DAB is excellent and although I havent really tested it yet as Im running it in, the hifi sounds great. Sports suspension makes the car feel more chuckable. All is good

thanks blue! may/june is exactly the time I was expecting my car, then I phone up 2 weeks ago to ask for a build week and they told me it was nearing the end of the production line and would be here in a week! So perhaps you may see yours sooner than you think, fingers crossed!

Hi Everyone

I ordered Cooper S end of March, and it has now reached the PDI centre - woohoo!! Will be my 1st Mini and can't wait...

One question, the dealer said that I might not be able to pick it up on the same day it is delivered to them but didn't seem to want to give a reason why...does anyone know how the handover works?

Thanks

United-States 2007 chip tunning

I am about to pick up my new 2007 Mini Cooper S and I am selling my 2005 Mini Cooper that has the MTH tuning ( which in my experience has improved significantly both performance and gas mileage).
Although I am not yet planning any modifications on the new 2007 "S" I wonder if MTH or any other tunner is offering chip tunning for it.
I am also undecided about restoring my 2005 to factory settings before I sell it or offering it with the MTH tunning and cable. ( I took the car to the 10K and 25K oficial dealer service and passed it without any problems.)
Any thoughts anyone?
Thanks

If selling privately, offer it with or without;

if trading to a dealer reset to standard as new owner may get a shock & in theory you could be liable for any problems IF traced back

sure cable will come in use eventually for the S ;}

Scotland New Mini Cooper

Hi I'm a newbie here, so treat me gently!

Ordered my new Mini Cooper back in April and am patiently waiting for my delivery date.

Phoned dealer today for an update, and was pleasantly surprised that the date has been brought forward by two weeks, so should hopefully be arriving in Sunny Dundee within the next couple of weeks!! Can you feel the happiness


This is my first mini, so took ages trying to spec it up. Hopefully will not be a disappointment on delivery.

Cooper in astro black, chili pack, 17" flames, aero kit, anthracite roof lining, white indicator lenses, brushed alloy and chrome line interior/exterior. Think that's it. Didn't want to go overboard (or the truth - couldn't afford anymore)

I'm a driving instructor, so hopefully business will be booming when my pupils find out what they'll be driving


Will post many many pics on arrival.
