Spec by tomorrow (11/08) Hyper Blue/Blue top???

I don't even know what colour I want or options...

I'm thinking Red with Chilli Pack and TLC? These the most compulsory items?

Is Chilli really needed?????
I've been giving it some serious thought recently and I honestly don't think it is. All you need is a/c and fogs and maybe xenons. The rest of the packs usefullness is debatable

MINI, RX8 and MX5 - Done those............. It's now TTime

I think chilli is a must as you get most of what you need included in there plus theres a savings cost wise as well.

Does any Mini site ...US..UK...Canadian..Bolivian... have a Convertible build site up yet?

I don't know why they're dawdling on this...there are boat loads of us who need to get cracking on our builds and we have no site!!!

I don't even know what the basic packages are...what's standard with the S package...

<insert expression of significant frustration here>

Looks like a sensible (and restrained) choice.

Things that I have and would really miss: -

1) Wind deflector - works very well
2) Heated Seats - I've already used these on cooler days, they will help me make the most of the Convertible during Autumn - Spring
3) Chrome Interior - looks the dogs danglys and is expensive to retro fit
4) heated mirrors and washers - for £40 they're worth it in winter
5) Chili - Xenons, wheels etc

Other things I have that are just luxury: -

Auto mirror and windscreen wipers - cool but could live without
Exterior Chrome bits - not necessary on the MCS (unless black like mine)
Sat Nav - Cool but could live without
HK - very good sound but could live without
Leather - could live without

Things I don't have

DSC
Multichanger (seemed like a waste of boot space especially with the new Boost playing MP3s)

But Mini's are all about personal taste and choice!

Cheers, Peter

Nice spec.


Chrome interior pack £80 well worth the money.

Heated seats.
And
MFSW as your having the factory fit cd player and dont forget that includes cruise control as well.

thats the perfect specced MINI.

Your spec come to around £19655 ish

Heated front seats = £190.00
MFSW = £160.00
Chrome interior = £ 80

Equals an extra £430


That will bring your grand total to..........£20,085 ish.
