dealer fit

but check with them as some do not use the official bmw ones but get a 3rd party sign firm to do the install themselves and tend to not have the stripes on the edge

I do believe that the ones from the factory are white with a black border or white with a black boarder and the price is £50 the pair including fitting.


L&C at Tunbridge Wells wanted £100 and there were'nt the bmw ones either.

If you go for DS with either roof, better get the R90 wheels. With 4 out of 5 people seeming to choose DS, you're going to need something to set yourself apart from the hundreds of others surrounding you!

Mangling LMB shamelessly: Oh I also saw a PS/B S parked next to a DS/W and a DS/B S. The PS/B blew them all away. Trust me mate, I've got excellent taste (and am highly biased, see below) get your S in something--anything--else, you won't regret it.

So, I suppose insisting on them being factory fitted would be a good idea.....

Id love the R90s, but the prices is a little scary I must admit !!

What you forgot to mention was that you can only get DS with an S. If you get PS, it will just blend in with every other Mini on the road.

How could a PS blend in with the rest of the Coopers when there are (1) so few MINIs compared to the rest of the flotsam on the highways and (2) every MCS I've seen on the road is EB or DS.

Pick the color you want. Having a hole in the snout makes it stand out from the Coopers. AND, having something other than EB or DS will make it stand out from the average MCS. See bias below...

PS/B MCS, bonnet stripes, everything but the satnav, 17" S-Lites
