Hi All,

Spent most of the afternoon at the dealers (my favourite place) today with my mum's S waiting for the 1st oil service and some electrical fixes to be done. Saw a 2004 model top of the range Cooper S. The plastic on the back of the seats has been changed to a much much stronger one which doesn't scratch which is great news!!

Just thought I'd share that!

So the plastic has been changed on all the models then?
If so about time, especially when people bang they're seat belt buckle against it.

AidenL · Sep 10th, 2003, 08:20 PM

Thats good news..............

ALD0 · Sep 10th, 2003, 08:22 PM

Hey Aiden, I just noticed you will become famous soon enough!

Yep all models! There's no official information to say the plastic has been changed but all the 2004's are coming with it. I was concerned about the plastic when i ordered my cooper a few months ago as my mum has the original plastic on her mini but as it's coming later on in the year it will be a 2004 spec with the new rear seat covers. To retro-fit the new covers onto a current car is £100 inc VAT and labour at my dealer.

Aiden... how are you becoming famous? If so please remember the lil people... e.g me

Indeed, indeed !

Does the plastic look less cheap?? I'm glad I don't see it much or I'd think it let the interior of the car down

I do like the fact that MINI are offering new features at suitable..dare I say "cheap" prices as retro-fits too. Shows they care about the customers

Well, a bit anyway!

mad brummie · Sep 10th, 2003, 09:57 PM

they're not if you want the mfsw as a retro fit 600 odd quid!!

Hobbe · Sep 10th, 2003, 10:08 PM

I thought 600 was an even number....

MarkW19 · Sep 10th, 2003, 10:15 PM

lol true! Slightly off-thread, anyone know if a retrofit of the auto air-con is possible? Already have manual air-con - would they "take" back my manual air-con for a p-ex?? hehe. How much?

The plastic looks much much better

It looks like they've also changed the plastic on the door panels. I'll take a picture later when I go back there.

I have this new plastic on my sept 03 mcs- it must have come in earlier than 2004 spec.

Not a 2004 change, my July build 'S' has this, and you're right it's MUCH better, which is fantastic when we're putting a child seat in and out every day!
