I suppose I'd have to have a new colour when I change, so CR/W and IB/W have to be considered......

Thats it kick a man when he's down
Mine will be black or black/white...worried about the white roof sunroof thing though.
I do like CR/W and IB/W, but soggy would have a field day if I had the red....apparently his little boy asked him if he could get a pink car next

QQQ thinks they don't fit, and a local wheel man over here told me the same, so it might be worth a phone call.

Aiden talk to Dave @Performance alloys on 028 9446 5151 as he said they are a MINI fitment,but there a discontinued model so I got a very good discount because of that.

It meant I had to be Miniless for 5 weeks but is worth it for an extra £1,000.

Mo, have they sold your car yet?????
What happens of your car comes and they haven't sold it yet

Washy, judging by your car when new and the milage you should be able to get £15.5. Mine if it survived would have been in the very similar position to yours. Mine new was £18.4 and come Septmeber it would've been a year old and have 12k on the clock and my dealer offered me £16k

I am talking to them today.
I think I should be able to get them to £15.5 and to do the works kit for the same as JCG.

Leather or half leather
I was thinking about my car spec again last night and think do I really need leather????
It is a luxury item and I do like it, but as my car will live outside I'm not too sure whether it will stand up too well to the temperature changes, direct sunlight etc...
I guess by opting out I save £530 which is a bonus

I guess all of you are going to tell me to save the money and get half aren't you

So the real question is lapis or black

Please let me know if any of you have had any problems with either colour. e.g. fading, difficult to keep clean etc.

I have the lapis blue black leather on my car. I have had no real problems with it and my car too lives outside. I would have had it on the new one, but had to save money somewhere.
On the colour choice I am having the blue/black again as I thought it would give a bit of contrast to an all black car.
I think both would work with IB
