its alive its alive

i have now began my mini adventure, only done a few miles but already impressed drives great looks stunning. cruise control is amazing accelerating with a little button is weird. impressed with the hi fi upgrade is the amp in the boot behind the trim on the left ?

questions

why have i got 3 pairs of knickers in the boot ?
omg how hard is it to keep the black roof scratch free i can already see a few swirly scratch marks but they have gone a bit with some polish.

handover went well asked for a model mini said he would send me one in post yeah right and never even get a keyring !

cant believe with seats fully back they touch rear seats deffo a 2+2

and the net in the passenger footwell is a bit pathetic

overall feels well built and drives surperb

o and whats my wheel arch gap like ?

Nice car.

Price depends on what you paid for CHILLI. The price for the chilli pack has gone up to incorporate storage but you may have paid the old price and been invoiced separetly for the storage.

Red/Black R56 Cooper Stripes, CHILLI, ASC+T, MINI HiFi, Piano Black Dash, Red Colour Line, Heated Mirrors/Jets, Spare Wheel, Smoker Pack!
Mods - Cooper S pedals, Cheqered interior mirror, chrome side repeaters

Great car - nice colour choice!

Yes you will be doing well to keep the black roof mark free. Mine has swirls galore.

Your wheel arch gap looks like mine - fine on one side but slightly wonky on the other. Your offside gap does not look parallel all round the arch and could probably benefit from adjustment - mine is going in for a tweak next week.

Seen the storage pack and think it's a waste of time!

Your engine will sound a bit Dieselly right now but in a few thousand miles it will be sweeet.

Congratulations on a fab MINI!
