New Mini Owner (almost!)

Morning all!

Picking up my 04 Cooper S JCW tomorrow! Metallic Grey (Dark Silver?) - Can't wait!

First modification is the full monty at my local valeter!

Been snooping around the site for the past few weeks - plenty of great info and helpful folks on here!

Thanks for the welcome folks!

I'm buying the car privately, don't get me wrong - it's had a clean, but just want to treat it to a full on interior / exterior clean & polish, so it's as much like a new car as a 3 year old car can be . Of course will post up some piccies once it's been done!

Appears to have the following spec:

Dark Silver
Body Coloured Roof
Black Mirrors
17" R85 S-Spoke Alloys
Front Fogs
Xenons
Manual A/C
Trip Computer
Interior Light Pack
CD Boost
Sports Suspension Plus
Sports Seats
DSC
Heated Mirrors
Rain Sensor
Passenger Seat Height Adjust

Last but not least, the 200bhp JCW Tuning Kit (fitted by the dealer from new).

Any suggestions of other options that would have been woth having? Is it worth getting anything retro fitted?

GTT strut brace(s)...if you want to stiffen things up more.

Sounds a cracking spec.

Thanks for the advice Fergus - something to add to the shopping list perhaps...

Having said that, Sports Suspension+Runflats=quite stiff ride already

Gotta wait till Monday for delivery now - my so called CHAPS instant transfer now takes 2 working days apparently

I'm sorry you have to wait. I am very impatient so that would have given me sleepless nights, when you have it, please come back to these threads and let us all know how it is. I'm fairly new to it all myself and just can't get enough. GOOD LUCK
