Hey guys,

Been scanning the website for the past few weeks and I thought it may be about time to say hi!
Im from Dublin but travelled over to England last week to pick up my MCS.

Just thought I would say hi.

I have a few things planned:
Wheel change
Black mirror covers (where can i get these?)

KPKalle · May 8th, 2007, 10:44 AM

Hi and welcome to MINI2

You should be able to get the mirror overs from a dealer.

SiMINImon · May 8th, 2007, 10:56 AM

Hello and welcome - I hope you and your MCS have many happy miles together

ScottyBoy · May 8th, 2007, 10:57 AM

Hi and Welcome to the site! check the classifieds now and again these come up for sale in there and a few pics would be nice as always! What MCS R53 or R56

Hello there and welcome

ScottyBoy · May 8th, 2007, 10:57 AM

Just reading your other post and relise its a R53! lol

elmo_s_driver · May 8th, 2007, 11:08 AM

Yeah it's an R53, im only 20, cant afford a new one!

I had a 1972 mini cooper 's' and sold it recently, and I had a celica as my everyday car, sold both to buy my new mini and I am delighted.

The forum wont let me post pics online til I have a few posts up!

hold out for it! lol

Hi and welcome to mini2

why not try the uk ebay site for your mirror caps there are normaly a few pairs on there and it will be cheaper than a dealer.

Excellent!

Im doing a track day on Friday in Mondello. I am a big member of MiniResource Forums - The Ultimate Resource for the Mini (Powered by Invision Power Board) a classic mini owners club and they organised it (i'm sneaking through with my new 's' though)

It is to be featured in miniworld magazine too as far as I know.

nice!
If your sat nav in DVD and if not alreadydone , get firmware v29.1 and obtain 2007/1 maps.

postcode search and perspective view. Most cool! so cool other drivers get caught staring into your car at junctions.

I dont know if my Sat Nav is DVD or not. Also, I wanted to get an IPOD hook up thing, not the BMW one though. How do i know if my stereo is the 'boost' stereo or not?

Sorry, newbie over here lol

sel · May 8th, 2007, 03:38 PM

Welcome!!

any pics??

u maybe able to get the covers from the classified section on here?? or ebay?? if not defo from the dealer!

3rdpillar · May 8th, 2007, 03:54 PM

The boost head as i understand it has a larger on/off volume knob.

if you bought from dealer, they can look your car up on the bmw database and tell you the options it came with. i suppose if you have HK then that would mean you had the boost headunit.

look under you drivers seat for the satnav. if it says DVD under the cover then its DVD if not NOT,

also when switched on, top right hand corner has version numbers, if begins with 4 then its DVD if 3 then CD
