Upgrading the Cooper to an S!

Well, it's just to tow the corporate line you understand, I mean, the logo is a Red/White/Silver wheeled 'S', so it's only right that I have one too!

Roll on March!

Congratulations Paul!

However, real MINIs have white wheels - OK apart from the black roofed ones... Red is a god choice, but then I would say that wouldn't I?

What options have you ordered?

Congratulations Paul.
I am having the same thoughts. I actually don't like the styling of the S as much as the Cooper but I like the extra power. I don't think I can hold out much longer without changing.

Electic Blue S

Congrats... When did you place your order? I'm getting mine in April. I've decided to go for:

Electric Blue/White
Chilli - Half leather blue seats
ISOFIX
CD Boost
TLC

Saw a Red/White S today and didn't fancy it.

Regards

Silver wheels and no stripes, but apart from that, yes.
