Hmmm, I've had a set of S pokes on order for 2 weeks now, still no sign of them at my dealers though, I wonder are they still a little in short supply ?

AidenL · Oct 19th, 2002, 03:25 PM

I saw a DS / W and CR / W together for the first time today.....

I think its going to be Red/White for me.......its such a fun colour combo, very MINI !!

AidenL,

Been reading your agonising on colour choice, so went for the lazy option myself. Spoke to the wife, she liked Red/White and silver S-Spokes, so that was that. Our current Cooper is Pure Silver/Black, but it's just too rainy where we are to have dark or silvery colours (I reckon!). We need some sunshine!

Hope you get things sorted re your loan fella, shame about the rip-off pricing where you live, nightmare.

Now all I I gotta do is wait patiently 'till the second week in December, so maybe 8 weeks in total at the most. Not bad all in all...

Jingle bells, jingle bells...!!!!

DBK.

Aiden go for a chequered roof too and that will give it the final cool look

Oh.. and it will satisfy your dilema of white or black roof

You know which side of the fence I stand on

AidenL · Oct 22nd, 2002, 03:45 PM

dietbruking,

Im sure the time will drag, but we will help you along...great Christmas present !

Martin,

I think checkered might be a bit too wacky for me, Captain Sensible and all that I am.....

I thought you might be getting your roof redone in pink and white after Mallory !

Just think, it would have been far easier to respray if you had gotten a white roof !

Your pic has probably been posted more often then Ms at this stage !!

AidenL · Oct 25th, 2002, 02:35 PM

Had my car at the dealers today for gearbox and ECU mods, fixed my squeaky seats too......

However, after a 200 mile round trip, and 6 hours in the car due to Bank Holiday traffic, I got the bad news that the adhesive for my Aero spoiler still hadnt arrived, and also was told that MINI only want to sell aftermarket S spokes with tyres included at a cost of €1700.00...

Still, my dealer is working on it , to see what he can organise.......

AidenL · Nov 1st, 2002, 10:56 AM

Yipee, my wheels are in!!

Can't get them till Monday though........

Remember we want piccies

Oh and don't forget to take off your mud flaps. They look stupid with larger wheels

Definitely go for the heated seats. Absolutely the best option they have.

Sure, if you're driving over the Redhorn Gate at Caradhras, but otherwise how cold are you gonna get in a car with a good heater? Get the MFSW, I hate driving a car without one now.

MFSW is a must.....very cool piece of kit.

dinger · Nov 3rd, 2002, 12:57 PM

Aiden go for the heated seats there a must in our climate

also another must is MFSW saves you taking your eyes off the road.

Bugger its been so long since I contributed to this thread how long ago did you change your mind about the colour Aiden as I thought you were a DS/White groupie.

Heres a pic JUST in case you change your mind.

AidenL · Nov 3rd, 2002, 01:00 PM

I was dinger, only a few weeks ago I saw DS & CR together for the first time ! Red really stood out for me on a dull dark day, so I think Ill run with it........

......Still, loads of time to change my mind again !

How much are the heated seats? They are on my pric
