Hi folks, first post here just to let you all know I'm joining your little club

Ordered last Friday, my new Mini Cooper D Chili in Silver with Black roof and bonnet stripes.

4-6 week lead time though I can't wait!

I'm hoping to be a long term happy owner and not one that experiences problems like some other users here.... touch wood!

I'll be back to post pics when my new baby arrives.

Congrats 4-6 weeks isnt that long I waited 5 months

Im sure yours will be totally fine, its only mine and a couple of others that were built by numpties rather than the usual good staff

Whats the rest of the spec?

[alzee]

I'm having something of a mini (ahem, sorry) crisis now. After looking at several pics on this site, I'm swaying towards the black with black/red interior... I only placed the order on Friday, I wonder if they'll let me change it?!

Anyhoo, the current spec is:

Mini Cooper D (obviously)
Pure Silver
Clth/Lea Ray Carbon Black interior
Sport LEather steering Wheel
16" -5 Star BLaster alloys
Rear Spoiler
Floor Mats
Pass Seat Height adj
Sports Seats
Storage Compartment Pack
Front Fogs
Manual AirCon
On-Board Comp
Interior Light pack
2nd Remote KEy
Black Bonnet Stripes
Smoker Pack
Basically, the Chili Pack

I'm thinking I should add that lovely huge sunroof too now... I'm so indecisive!

[supa-dupa-cooper]

Lol, if you only ordered it last week and you arent due to get it for a while there will be no problem in changing the spec I changed mine about 4 times i think

The sunroof is lovely But! I would be worried about it leaking and the one in the Cooper Clubman I had rattled like anything

[Mejy Poo]

Sounds nice!! Don't wanna speak to soon but I've not had any probs with my car so far - but only had it for just under a month!!

I've got a black one with half red interior - some pics to sway you

Bit of advice though get the interior trim piano black - something i missed off on my spec - the silver looks a bit odd with the red and black.

Piano Black looks great - and would be superb with this combination

[alzee]

[KatyB]

Dont forget the white indicators !!

Had my Dooper a couple of months now no problems at all

I will post some pics later ( mines closer to your first spec !)

[alzee]

eek, forgot those! thanks

[dlpruk]

MFSW? Hi-Fi?

[alzee]

Didnt see the need for the MFSW, and just the basic Boost Radio sgl CD thing; i plan on looking to someone like mikey for the stereo upgrade

[Yoastie]

MFSW comes with Cruise Control. I wouldn't want to do without...

[alzee]

I suppose the MFSW really is in keeping with the whole Dooper ethos, but regardless of which car I've owned that has had it, I've hardly used Cruise Control at all!

[alzee]

ah well, in for a penny... as they say. I've ordered the MFSW ^^

[Yoastie]

Thanks for being so flexible!

MFSW also helps to cancel travel messages you don't want to listen to (I want to hear some of those, but not all, so I can easily click them away)

[alzee]

ARRGGHHH!! I must stop reading this website! I've just changed the spec with the dealer, again, for perhaps the 6th time! lol

Have just added the Centre Arm Rest and the Bi-Xenon Headlights... ho hum!

[Yoastie]

Bi-Xonons - Very good Choice. You will like them



(have you considered Bluetooth, now you have armrest and mfsw anyway? :-) )

[alzee]

Get thee behind me satan!

I had included Bluetooth, but apparently my phone gets a "yellow light" instead of green so is only partially compatible, so I decided against it.

But now I have the armrest, when I get the stereo upgraded by mikey, i think he can do a bluetooth setup as well.

[Mejy Poo]

I wish I had opted for the whole bluetooth/USB package instead of just the MFSW
