They'll do anything for you - when my third brake light was replaced, I was even offered the choice of another red one or a clear one. As a result, I would buy my next MINI from Stratstone! They even give you free sweets!

Sounds like you have some excellent service there! - Very few dealers are professional in my opinion these days.

I have 3 dealers near me, two of them are about 50 miles away, one is about a mile away. The one that is a mile away I would not touch with a barge pole (even if it was a mile long) - I travel 50 miles to buy my cars, pain in the aaarrrrsssseee when I need a repair. But I hate dealing with unprofessional people.

it's actually BRG roof, but with the sunroof it makes it look nearly black.

Found a dinge in the bonnet when I got home, not impressed, will be going back to the dealership and get them to explain why this wasn't fixed - it's nearly the full size of the mini badge on the front! God knows how I didn't spot it when I picked it up

I don't like Bluebell Wilmslow (see my quote on bad dealership experiences) they are a bunch of snobs and just haven't got their act together with selling "used" cars, bet they would jump up and down if you went in for a brand new cooper, but my dealings with them, for used cars, was **** !!

Go back to them and get that sorted....it's not fair you will have paid a lot of money for your car and whether it's used or not you want it to be perfect....let's face it used mini's are not cheap are they ? It takes the shine away from having a new car.

Got to take this opportunity to plug David Holmes in Stockport, they were great, especially Mel and Craig the manager.

That aside I think your BRG mini looks fantastic....if I see you when I am going for a shop to Handforth Dean I will beep and wave
