2005 End-of-line Supercharged S Speccin'

[pappillon]

Thinking about the spec for a new MCS which I hope to get as the last supercharged Ss roll out of Oxford...

Black MCS with JCW (de-badged)
Chili Pack
17" Web Spoke Alloys
HK/Radio Boost/MD Player
Chrome-Line Exterior/Interior/Cockpit Chrono
Sunroof
M/F S/Wheel
"Pappillon" Whalen Knob

Want to go for a discreet look but it'd be good to find something subtle to give it a little bit of a twist. Any ideas/photos for graphics (Rakey....)?

And does anyone have any pics of a MCS with the 17" Web Spoke Alloys fitted (nothing on mini.co.uk )? The 18" JCW Alloys are first choice but got to check out the cost. And what's the light, limited edition MCS thing all about exactly, and when, when, when??


What do you think, guys?

[Rakey]

don't these thread normally start with someone putting a spec up, asking for some advice on it, and thus it carries on until they order about 18mths later?

Half an hour... 71 view... two smart-ass comments from the usual MINI2 drunk-by-7 regulars...............


It's why I love MINI2

Come on, Andy and Martin. Help me out a little, please I'm speccin' a whole new underwear wardrobe and will share photos with whoever comes up with a cool graphic for my new baby ........

Don't ask Martin, hasn't a clue when it comes to roof graphics.

Is this thread in OT&B???

NO

Anyone got anything serious to say? Maybe it's too much to hope for at this time of night from this side of the pond. Perhaps tomorrow morning, eh

Yes, but dump the HK, and fit the Sony or Kenwood offerings, upgrade the speakers, you dont need MD, its going out of style now MP3 and I-pod things are taking over, Cockpit chrono dials are a waste of time as you cant see the speedo, and who cares what the oil pressure is anyway

I'm happy enough with the HKs (except SUV actually sounded better in the ONE, believe it or not ) and I don't want the hastle and expense of fitting after-market speakers (I would if I knew how to do it myself, though)

OK about dials and the MD. I'll drop them. Just go for the regular CD player. Wonder if iPod/iPod socket thing will be integrated into the dash somehow by then (I read somewhere about BMW doing a deal with MAC)

New wheel designs, eh .... *holds breath*

BTW, do you think the JCW exhaust will sound as good on the 2005 MCS as it did on the one I played with a little while ago?

Whats with the white text, and why is this so frikking wide?

You could take a short instructional course

Things seem to be going in that direction

goes a purple colour waiting

I think there is a group buy on Milltek being organised, thats the one to have

What do you think, guys?

All good Pappi, the new wheels sound interesting, I agree on dropping MD, I like HK personally as it saves hassle and looks more integrated / OEM / discreet.

I hate the chrono - a MINI without a central speedo just ain't the real deal in my opinion.......

I think you can get JCW alloys for around £ 620.00 rims only, tyres should run a minimum of £400 - £ 600 , depending on brand.

Graphics - not my strength I'm afraid..........

Now, about that new wardrobe?
