Look at the smilie! that's what you guys will be doing when you remember the 17" are only £350 if you're ordering the chilli pack (Which IMHO is a good deal anyways). That's what swayed it for me - but please dont all get them, I want mine to stand out bit!

Great idea!!!

POST PICS WHEN YOU GET EM PLEASE!!!

Do I sound frantic at all? I don't want to wait 'till March

I'd be getting my baby around the same time as you if I hadn't said I wanted (Yeah RIGHT!) to wait for the new reg in March. I love this car!!! I hope mine looks as good as Garry's (Nice one Garry) should do - same spec!

I never thought waiting 4 months would seem so long!

For all the compliments about my car! I can't wait to get it in the next day or two.

And I promise to get some photos of the Blue Cooper with the white 17" wheels. It looks really sharp! The wheels might dirty quickly but they seem easy to clean.

Here is a link to a photo of a Silver Cooper, black roof and 17" wheels.

Silver-black with 17" wheels

Enjoy!

Four S spokes will cost you £526 if you already have the car.. I shouldn't imagine that includes tyres..

Any ideas on what a set on 205/45 R 17 tyres would cost??

smartbomb · Jan 9th, 2002, 04:16 PM

Have heard that a tyre will cost in the order of £140 +. Although a 17" tyre can be picked up for about £100, the MINI spec one will no doubt be a little more...Not sure how much the 16s cost ? for a comparison ?

That Blue Cooper with the white S-Spokes looks the bomb - just as well too, since I'm picking up my identical Cooper on Tuesday! As soon as I do I'll grab some pics and post a review on here of the ride/handling...can't wait!!!!!

Noting your location, I reckon "Posh" may get tempted into a bit of an "away game" once your car arrives

I'm sure you can't, mate. Any pics of VB will be interesting

smartbomb · Jan 12th, 2002, 08:56 AM

I wouldn't worry with VB ! According to colleagues she is quote 'quite rough' close up ! But DB is a gent !
Anyone remember Helen Shapiro ?

JV · Jan 13th, 2002, 01:24 PM

Well, Posh and I go way back as it is...she lives about 1/4 mile from me, so I see her quite a bit. I've met her through work as well since the Spice Girls are some of our clients (I work as a trainee in a big West End Law Firm) - hopefully my MINI will blow Dave's 550 Maranello into the weeds...if I can get her to pose naked on the bonnet, would anybody like to see the pics???

Only two days to go...
