Same as mine. They are a lot easier to clean than the S spokes were on my Cooper.

You have recaros! Want to swap for some sports seats?!

They look really good with the DS minis, do you know if its possible for the dealer to get hold of them?

Pretty sure they could, but I don't think they will be cheap! They do look good though and they are v comfortable!

I get mine this week

I just joined and am taking delivery of my new 2006 DS/S this week, so I will post them as soon as I get the car.

Should be a great looking color scheme. I'm excited for you since I ordered the same colors for my MCS.

OMGOMGOMGOMGSHESHERESHESHERE!!!!!!!!!11111one

[explodes]

My little car is sitting at the dealers waiting for the 2nd of September to be collected 9 whole days ARRGGGG!!!

Dealer called me at 11 this morning to tell me the car was in and she was handed the paper work by the admin assistant. Cue masses of hysteria and big grins

Literally 2 minutes later I get a call back saying shes really sorry but the over enthusiastic admin handed her the file to just do some work in advance and the car wasn't there . Cue major disapointment.

Then about 20 minutes later I get a text saying she was right the first time, it was there (she'd been sure she saw it on the transporter) and my Works will be ready for collection on the Saturday of the new reg \o/

From order placed to delivery to the dealer was only 24 days!

Now I have the longest 9 days of my life to wait until I can collect her

Yay!

Beleive me it will be worth it!

Picking up a JCW S is one of those rare things where the owning of the car far outways the ordering/waiting experience (you now, the chase is better than the catch sort of thing, only this time the catch is better than the chase!! )

Took delivery yesterday of mine 09/2003 DG/B Cooper S. Fully loaded with everything except PDC. I'll take some pics, when it stops raining . A bit dissapointed about the power (my other car is an E39 M5) but it will go to the tuningshop soon...The aim is 220hp+...

SHE'S HOME!!!!

'skuse the crappy pics

Done 150 miles now and Boy is she fast! Went to meet some lovely people from the Kent and East Sussex Mini Club this afternoon and decided to get lost afterwards and just use TomTom to get home, ended up in Rye and had a lot of fun on fast and twisty roads. The Works is better than I had dreamed it would be Very Happy!!





Those alloys will NEVER be that clean again
