| Aiden, Definitely think you should go for the black roof if you're getting the sunroof. As said before I think the sunroof is fantastic and if my budget would have allowed I would certainly have got it. Can't have everything I spose  If you're dropping the sunroof of course get the white roof, have seen a DS/w in the flesh now and it looks absolutely the biz Good luck with it mate, you're heading for hard times |

| Spec seems grand to me. I opted for the Auto A/C and no sun roof, seems fine to me, I think it adds to the look with the whole roof not half of one. The MFSW i think is a must, I bought it just for the ability to dable with the stereo while driving, saves keep looking down at the stereo to switch tracks change volume etc, cruise control was a bonus. Perhaps no need for head airbags if your eyes are on the road and not on your stereo??. Leather seats are nice, but as you say need a lot of maintanence ( possibly even heated seats for the winter to stop them cracking ). I opted for the half/half black panther. Looks really cool. Stereo wise, if you want to save a bit of money at the moment opt for the single CD, but have the free cabling for the CD autochange, which can be fitted later ( fitted for about £270 sterling - not bad as the unit runs at £230 ). |

| hello all, i have just ordered my s and read all of this thread. lmb was right a few pages back. basic spec is the way to go. got to have a/c tho' for those 5 hot days we have in the uk each year. i got: elec blue (what's with all these ds's? eb is the only color that screams 'cooper s' from about a mile away) white roof/mirrors/wheels manual a/c and i'm gonna get a cd/mp3 player when it arrives (if cd's are still in general use by then!) MCS EB/W + manAC + visibility pk |

| IMO the sunroof is a must have, it adds so much light to the interior and the interior roof of the car looks really naff without it... Plus there is nothing more enjoyable than peeling the roof open on a clear night and listening to the trials and tribulations of your car Vs the road... I have opted for a white roof and the sunroof. DS/B is far to subtle so i went for the white. Can we stop talking about the weight of the sunroof as if it really makes some huge difference.... The MINI is already excessively baggy so why don;t you go and take your scales to a F1 car... This car is going to lose me my license one day. I LOVE IT!!! Dark Silver/Black Cooper S Chilli Shiny Red Brake Calipers The biggest grin on the planet & the envy of all my friends! |

| Why not a yellow S ? Why didn't you even consider Yellow / White Combo for your S, it is extremely rare and very very Racey.... If you're buying a funky, speedy car like Cooper S, why do you stick to a color that almost every car manufacturer uses for their diesel models... You are about to own one of most special cars out there... Don't spoil it with those dull colors... I believe people love that Dark Silver because it's new and spcifically for the S, if it was a Cooper color earlier,nobody would be so fund of it this much... |

| Welcome to Mini2 zzz Don't listen to QQQ, he just jealous because I'm always right. I agree with you on getting A/C, definitely a must. Excellent spec, you've got yourself a little pocket rocket there. |
