We'll it was my birthday today, and when i was at my dealer picking up my new mini, there was a big bow on the roof.

The car looks great i think, all i need to do is put an aero kit on. Although my dealer says that i would affect my warranty if i were to do it myself. So maybe in a few months time i will get it.

Anyway, more pics to come when i take it out on a photo shoot (after i have cleaned those wheels, they are dirty already

)

I would appreciate any suggestions on any mods or care technics. Especially on those wheels

Congratulations! Your car looks lovely.

I picked up my new MINI on Wednesday. Loving it more and more each day.

Barnabas · Apr 16th, 2004, 10:37 PM

Hahaha, that bow is awesome! I never seen anyone really put a bow on their car, just on TV. Well enjoy your car! Also there's a plethora of information on car care in the Care and Maintenance forum.

Happy Birthday !!

What a great present.

JugMan · Apr 17th, 2004, 12:51 AM

I think that's the wackiest adornment anyone's put on their mini so far... :P I always thought that stripes went front to back...

ScottyB · Apr 17th, 2004, 01:20 AM

oh and happy birthday!

minisoopercooper · Apr 17th, 2004, 07:26 AM

Yeah looks well sweet! Enjoy.

Can't see why having an official aero kit fitted by someone else would affect the warranty though!

Haha, nice.

Enjoy

GAM · Apr 17th, 2004, 09:45 AM

Thanks very much.

It was pretty embarrasing when i went to pick it up. I mean half the service crew/body shop were outside standing laughing in my direction.....

I think when they found out my birthday was today they pushed to get my car early, as originally i was supposed to get it 16th of May. But i'm not complaining, the 5 week wait certainly flew by.

Just have to wait and run the engine in now.

Happy Birthday also Scotty, hope you had a good day.

Enjoy!

DarkMiniCooperS · Apr 18th, 2004, 06:15 PM

Awesome MINI!

Now go and start motoring!

Electric Sheep · Apr 18th, 2004, 06:43 PM

That's a really nice touch. They're good guys, BMW dealers.

And congratulations on the car. It looks absolutely stunning! Indi Blue & White is a great combination!
