This is my first ever post but here goes:

I should be getting my Black MINI ONE on Tuesday so there's just 2 days to go

but I just have a couple of questions!

Its an ex-showroom model so it has all the mod-cons but I was wondering about retro fittings!

Could anyone tell me what retro fittings are avaiable from Mini - I enquired into Traction Control at my local showroom but he said it would be much much more than £100 and would be a huge job so I opted out but does anybody know if they would do the following and for roughly how much?

Auxiliary Spot Lights (on the grill)?
Sports Suspension PLUS?
White Racing Stripes?

Thanks everyone! It'd be a great help!

Welcome to the site

I collect my ONE on Wednesday

The lights on the front of the grille should be an easy job for the dealer to do along with the stripes

Id leave the suspension alone though or get some after market lowering springs

Collect mine tomorrow

At long last

Pictures early after noon as going down the City in the evening for the play offs

Hmmm... beat Swindon 3-0 at home, beat Swindon 3-0 away. A fairly conclusive set of results

And with Swindon trying to charge Man Utd prices for a season ticket, it looks like bigger defeats next season!

Called the dealer today

Car is in the showroom and has been fitted with every thing I opted for including the rear spoiler & cloth sports seats

Picking it up 10:30am tomorrow

smiffy · Apr 30th, 2002, 02:06 PM

Just got back from the dealer s with the old man, Man my car has gotta be one of the best ONE's around

MrMini748 · Apr 30th, 2002, 02:29 PM

Just found out that I won't be getting it till next Thursday at the latest

But anyway, at least I'm getting it with all the bits I wanted, for now that is!

I enquired into retro-fitted optional extras as my ONE is actually ex-showroom, and the dealer told me that it would cost a hell of a lot of money to put the Sports Suspension PLUS package on as BMW charge £100 per hour just to look at your car! As for racing stripes - considerably less thankfully though more than the price listed so instead of £60 it'll be £80 - Wot do you think an all black MINI ONE will look with white racing stripes? Good or Bad? Also, wot would you think to the Auxiliary Spotlights on the grille on my car too?

I also thinking about upgrade the front of my ONE
with the Spotlights - they would look great in front
of the black grille. But havn´t seen any pic yet.

Right ok thanks for the advice guys!

As soon as I get the cash

I think I'll add the stripes and the spots!

I'll also post some pics if when I get the car so probably next Thursday/Friday!!

Any other suggestions, while were talking, like nice retro-fitted things I could add or just nice things uve found that would look good, bearing in mind my bank balance has just plummited rather considerably!

Cheers Guys
