Hello all on Mini2.

I have ordered my second MINI this weekend.

Recently moved house so have been looking for diesel due to longer commute to work.
Just couldn't resist getting another MINI especially the Dooper with the low car tax and great MPG values.

Spec is as follows:

Cooper D
Pepper White, Black roof and mirror caps,
Black Bonnet Stripes.
Chili Pack
16" 5 Star Blaster Alloys
Heated Mirror and Washerjets
Interior Trim Piano Black
Colour Line Dark Grey.

Not and extensive spec but enough for what I need.

Def don't want half cream seats as although they look great I don't expect they will be easy to keep clean.

My only issue at the moment is whether I go for the Colour line Cream or the Dark Grey.
Does any one have a picture of there car showing the two options and what are your opinions

Thanks.

Forgot to say. Delivery due end of October. 8 weeks ish
Quicker than my 2004 Cooper of 12 weeks

Welcome to MINI2 Richie H, sounds like a great spec!!

Cream Colour line, but cream 1/2 leather seats. I hope this helps.

I can see the Dooper being a monster seller in PW .

I was told that Pepper White is now the best selling colour for the Mini range!

andrewcregan · Aug 21st, 2007, 08:05 AM

As for the cream colour line - I would guess they would equally be difficult to keep clean? My better half had intended on putting it into her PW Dooper, but choose all grey/balck interior instead - arrives in about 3 weeks.

Enjoy your new baby MINI :-)

Going by the new car stock that my local dealer has ( at least 12 PW cars ) and a freind at another dealer is fed up of speccing PW for her customers

I am biased but it's a great colour on the R56.

Now you mention it Japper, when I was at my dealers last week, at least 6 PWs had just come off the transporter. My salesman also said they were all for stock - clearly very popular. I love the colour myself, but as a stewardess at work has one, I would never live it down with my colleagues. I will drive my better halfs car (PW) when it arrives though!!!

My Pepper White, Black Roof (with Heli-pad) will be arriving Mid September!

The cream colour line and cream 1/2 leather doesnt need cleaning as often as is portrayed. IMO, it looks good enough to justify it. Easy as to clean as well. Only really needs cleaning every 600-700 miles of short journeys, so lots of getting in and out of the car.

andrewcregan · Aug 21st, 2007, 10:19 AM

I agree Ollie - it defineately looks good

Richie H · Aug 21st, 2007, 11:52 AM

Thanks for the response guys and the photo Ollie.
I've only seen 2 Dooper's on the roads and both have been PW.

Still can't decide on the interior colour.

tintopracer · Aug 21st, 2007, 02:56 PM
