Hi,

I've been talking on here about various specs for a week or two now, and finally did the deed yesterday. :)

I was planning a black over red or black/black clubby S, until the configuration threw up a spanner via showing the gorgeous Soho available in the clubman S

So happy about that! :biggrin:

So here is the spec (the dealer pointed out there was only about 3 things I didn't spec):

Mini Cooper S Soho Clubman
White silver


Leather lounge Carbon black
Chilli pack :
MFSW
Velour mats
Pass seat height
Extendeed storage
Flat load boot floor
Fogs
Auto AC
OBC
Extended interior lights
Basic Bluetooth and USB


Visual boost radio with 6" screen
Model designation deletion
Chrome line interior
Heated front screen
Black roof and mirrors
Tints
Panoramic sun roof
Auto dimming rear view mirror
Heated seats
Colour line carbon black
Hadlight wash
Dab
PDC
Harmon kardon
Mini connected (iPhone integration)
TLC


Oh and roof bars! :rolleyes:

I think I also need a front arm rest as I tried not using mine and I think I'm going to miss it too much for long journeys.....

No mention of xenons there either as they are standard on the soho with black "insides" :cool:

Should be here in November :smile:

EDIT - just added a front armrest - for those long journeys

Very nice from what i have seen the soho is a really good looking Mini.

They sure are! :)
The name white silver doesn't do the colour justice as it's actually pearlescent.....very interesting.

The Clubman Soho looks very nice I have seen one in the showroom:) I did notice that you have gone for Basic Bluetooth if you spec Full Bluetooth it only costs £125 extra with the Chilli pack & you get : Armrest,Voice Control,Telephone USB Audio Interface & Multi-Function Controls for the Steering Wheel. Hope this is helpful ;)

White Silver, my most favourite MINI colour in the whole wide world! Congratulations, fab car and great spec. :smile:

Weirdly I can't see the soho on the configurator :( Shame because they're a great looking car

Love it... Currently waiting for delivery of my Soho. Cant wait. The colour is gorgeous.

Have you gone for any stripes? I'm torn between adding the normal black bonnet stripes or a black viper stripe with colour matched white silver stripes on the roof?

ooh interesting!
I just specced an armrest this morning for £120!

I need to check if I can get that deal - it was coming out at more expensive online - even with chilli...

what else does full BT give me (already have MFSW)?

Well for me (personally) I decided against any addornments as the base car is so gorgeous!

I did want Red with Black roof and this was going to have vipers. Also my Dark Silver JCW has black cooper stripes on the bonnet. I think the logic is that if the car has a good contrast with the black trim (like red, white and grey do), then add even more black! I cant describe it any better than that but some colours just need more black and more bits added! :puzzled:

The White silver is quite sophisticated and subtle so I wanted to keep it low key.....

...IMHO of course its all very individual!
Feel free to prove me wrong!
:D

..Why wasn't there a Soho badge/decal?
I think Camden got one and the 50th anniversary cars got the nice grill emblem.

Maybe someone could make one (mini pirate?)

I kind of fancy people knowing my car is a spec edition :P

I think it adds the voice control as this is added when you spec the full bluetooth online. I went for this option on my new Cooper that I picked up at the weekend it has both the voice control & cruise control on the MFSW also got the DAB radio included. I did not have the MFSW on my old mini so not sure what you get with the standard MFSW. With the voice control you can operate anything that appears on the central screen menus by speaking not just the phone.:):D:)

Amnie, you were right BTW.
Full bluetooth with Chilli pack costs and extra £5 , if you already specc'd the armrest...

I agree i thought of a graphic like the other special edtitons, with a two tone black/white silver (top/bottom) and SOHO in white. what do you think?

I get the idea, and like it but I think it may need a bit of work from Mini to finish it off! ;)
