| MINIgarage Jun 16th, 2003, 02:01 PM Got a customer who wants an MCS bonnet on a Cooper! I've spoken to about four people here in the dealership who say it's possible 'in theory'. I'd love a definite answer; has anybody actually tried this? This bloke wants his car to look as much like an MCS as possible, but his wife can't drive a manual, hence the Cooper. Any answer would be greatly appreciated! bkwalker Jun 16th, 2003, 02:36 PM ive seen on a post here that it HAS been done... a guy with a mini one did it over in the UK... i cant remember the thread though... sorry but i know it has been done. good luck bkwalker Jun 16th, 2003, 02:38 PM you're in luck http://www.mini2.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=32547&perpage=15&display=&pagenumber=3 there is the thread.. MINIgarage Jun 16th, 2003, 02:39 PM Awesome...I didn't even get a chance to reply to you first post! Thanks mate bkwalker Jun 16th, 2003, 02:42 PM no problem bkwalker Jun 17th, 2003, 06:23 AM Hi again! i have a quick question for you since you are work for the dealership! is it possible (and if so how much) to get a 2003 cd player (the standard one that comes with the MCS) in my 2002 MCS reason being is that i am looking for a solution to pay my iPod through my speakers.. and the 2003 has the AUX input and my 2002 doesn't have it! ive actually ordered an FM transmitter for the iPod .. should be coming today but i can return it for refund thanks! i look forward to a reply! ben dinlo Jun 19th, 2003, 08:34 AM You can think about the "magnetic strips", it look so good, and you can't tell the different, the good thing is you can put it on when you like it, and take it out when you want the clean look, you can even change different color everyday :D:D:D You can go to ebay and find more info http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2415838606 or you can go to the company who make this for more info www.dickblick.com MINIgarage Jun 19th, 2003, 08:56 AM bkwalker, this radio thing had caused me much brain damage here! Apparently, it is possible to do some funky stuff to the older units to run an ipod thrugh it, but this method requires a bit of surgery apparently. As far as a new radio...i'll ask the parts guy and see what he says bkwalker Jun 19th, 2003, 01:23 PM well yeah ive figured from other threads that i can hook my iPod through a very complicated process which im not really sure how to do.. but it involves the CD stacker wire in the boot and hooking it up through that sounds too complicated.. im actually going to try to swap head units with another mini owner for a cash consideration... seems like a win/win situation to me :) but if all else fails im gonna have to buy a new headunit i think.. i NEED all those songs in my car!! hahah | ||
