Charlie with his kit off !!!!

I am so excited, I had a phone call from my dealer today saying that my new car had just been delivered. Well I couldn't resist a peek, so here is Charlie, hot off the transporter without his aero kit and front driving lights. It is going to take a week to get him fully kitted out etc, think this is going to be a very long week..............

Hi; Congratulations!

Should look very nice once your Aero Kit is fitted! .......Is it the JCW Aero Kit?
Are you getting the Aero Spoiler fitted too?

And yes; your week is going to be very long!

(this is a good place to wait though)

Yes is it the JCW Aero Kit, both sides, front and back, but no spoiler just sticking with the Mini Cooper spoiler added at the factory.

This is my very first Mini and I have been going through all the posts to gain people opinion of the different specs and colours. It is a great forum to get peoples opinions of different ideas etc. Still only 7 days to go...........................and counting!

I've ordered chili red/white. That's the first picture of one i've seen! Looks great, although there seems to be huge gaps between the tyres and wheel arches. May be just the photo, but it looks like it is sitting pretty high.

Yes, it does look high and that was my first question to the dealer. He said that the fit a block in the suspension to prevent it rolling around on the transporter and that they hadn't been taken out yet.

That's good. I was hoping it wouldn't sit so high!

Post some new pics when you pick it up.
