oh crap, car scheduled for production but wrong option ordered by dealer

our car is "scheduled for production" on the miniusa site, but it has black bonnet stripes. My wife orderd white. Can it be changed at this point, or is it too late?

the dealer is closed and we won't be able to talk with them until tomorrow. BTW, I thought bonnet stripes on convertible S coopers were dealer installed options.

any input? we'll be sick if this is screwed up after waiting for the order for so long.

Don't panic, I'm almost certain you can change it, and I'm certain someone more certain than me will also jump to offer more reassurance soon!

Stripes are decals, they can change them at the store if they are in fact put in the order incorrectly. If you just put in the order, give owner's lounge a minute to update, they are a couple days behind usually.

Stripes on an S are factory installed options, or dealer installed.

the salesperson entered the order information. my wife mentioned that the dealership never asked what color stripes. I guess they assumed we wanted black (she's getting chili red exterior).

can you change the order yourself or does the dealership have to do it?

You'll have to call the dealer in the morning to sort this out for you.

You can either get factory installed bonnet stripes or the dealer installed ones. Dealer installed actually work out to be more money. I got the factory installed one's on my MCSC that is at the VDC right now. All the options didn't show on the OL until today...
