Chrome grill is pants IMO, it makes an S look so much like a Cooper from the front
I really do like the chrome mirrors
However as you said Aiden they probably won;t go with a white roof

So when is the sharks fin becoming standard and when did you hear about that????

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

I'm not a big fan of the chrome grill either. Much prefer the aero grill

I too prefer the standard S grill.

I was originally going to have the full aerokit with a standard S grill fitted instead of the black mesh one. Just like the works S in the Autocar test.

Good as I don't really want the sharks fin aerial
It jus't wont go with the white roof as they don't bother painting it the correct colour like they do on BMWs

Ooooohhh...

OK Folks.

Spec question from yours truly!

Car should arrive next week some time.

Mr Paul Wollaston-MINI is on holiday until the 18th.

I have been offered the chance to carry on clocking up miles and baby seat practice in my 'S' until September 1st, so I can get the new reg.

I will lose no value, it wont affect the exchange in any way.

Should I do it, or should I just jump up and down and say 'gimme gimme gimme gimme'?
