MC specs...anything else to suggest/change?

[Yannis76]

Hi,

I am just about to order a black mini with white roof and my specs are as follows:

1)MSFW
2)Manual A/C...should I get the Auto A/C?
3)Pepper packet
4)Rain sensor
5)sport seats
6)ASC+T
7)Alarm
8)spare wheel
9)armrest
10)chrono packet

As you might notice, I havent changed the wheels and didn't add any metallic color. Furthermore, I opted for the chrono packet. Please feel free to add any comments. I have read many posts here and I decided that a)Auto A/C is not that necessary and b)MSFW is an absolute must!
Right now I am not sure about the rain sensor and the lack of the Astro Black...

thank u in advance
Yannis

If you've got a white roof....got to get white alloys!

wouldnt that be a bit overkill? do you think I could find some photos?

2)Manual A/C...should I get the Auto A/C?
i would really suggest the Auto A/C. i had auto on my previous mini, have manual right now, and i regret it!

The auto dimming mirror would be good to have. I wish I would have gotten that option!

Personally I like the chromeline interior and exterior. I have manual A/C and am more than happy with that. But perhaps auto is more practical in a hotter country? Likewise maybe you don't need the rain sensor so much in Greece?

You can see some pics of a black MINI with white alloys here.

Lots of people criticize the chrono pack, but I can tell you: it's quite worth it! Looks VERY nice in the MINI Interior, not cheap at all.

The Auto A/C is actually worth having. Get it!

Cheers,
Hilke

I also have the Auto A/C in my current car and I also love it although some times it blows hot air inside the car without any reason! The main reason I didnt opt for it is the high price MINI charges for it. Does the Auto A/C work well in Mini?

I hated the Auto Air con, Manual does the same job-Cheaper and much more user friendly.
Would also get rid of the Chrono and go for Xenons

Is ASC+T a must have?

I dont have it in my new Cooper (comming next week). Is is possible to get it later?

Not really a must have no!
Don't thin it is possible to fit afterwards.

I think it is. I have tested it through the weekend and it can really save you. It was raining and I was driving pretty stupid like turning 90 suddenly. The ASC+T managed to keep me in general in my route. Furthermore its relatively cheap...

Sunroof- go compare with and without.... BIG difference.
