Sounds like a great spec!! I agree with the flame spokes then I'm most probably biased :eek: Have you considered a different dashboard trim? I'm personally not 100% on the standard Fine Silver trim because of the door trim ellipses but each to their own - not my car so not my problem :) Merc GL eh? Top car ;) Friend of mine has a Black 420 diesel with the 20" rims - Looks brilliant and its finally a car Merc have learnt to build properly! And its bigger inside than the local church!! :D:D

Hi wallsendMag,
very similar spec to the Cooper I'm picking up on tuesday, you fallen out with the TT?

you may remember I called up to see jac in a box at your house when he was detailing your car, I had the 535d Msport. Thats gone now too and got a 335i msport cabriolet.

(I'm using my sons login in case you're confused by the profile, too old to be a student!!!)

My New Mini

Hi All,

I have now owned my mini for nearly 8 weeks now, thought i'd post the spec's and some pics, I know its a Mini One but thought I would get a better response in this section. I brought the car for £16,500 with free 5yr TLC. I have replaced the standard black side vents with chrome ones thought it would suite the black/chrome look :p
Just a quick question, according to the brochure if any trim / seat combination is chosen it should have chrome trim around the inside door speakers? yet they are plain black. ( I had also chosen chrome line interior) do you think I should take it back to the dealer and ask for this?
I did look on autotrader online for a similar spec car and I didnt see it applied?

Also do you think Silver stripes would suite this car?, im thinking about getting the additionl front lamps (when I have some money left!)

Thanks Sav112,

My reason for choosing a Mini one was down to the cost really, I wanted the above options on a Cooper but the cost was £17,250 (not including TLC). For the same options on a One cost me £16,500 it physically looks the same, and I really couldnt afford another £750 to go another 1.8 seconds quicker without loosing a few options :( as I was really at my maximum already.

Im 25 and only had to pay £40 more on my insurance as my old car was a Fiesta Mk6. But I think after keeping this car for so long I may go for a Cooper S, in the near future.

I did have a look at nearly new Mini's but many seem to spend the cash on the outside, and then have limited interior options, e.g large alloys etc. Guessing now with the cost of diesel being higher than petrol you would have to keep a Mini D for a while to justify the higher cost of that model?

Jason.

Much like you I have a self imposed budget of 16K or roughly 15K plus my trade in. As for keeping it a while I’ve had my Honda eight years now and got it from new. The bigger trouble is I’m picky and want a pure silver with Black roof and mirrors and black stripes and even clear indicators.

Not many about I’ll tell you.

I could spec a Cooper up and it comes in around 16K but for the MPG on the D I’d love it. I know the Copper gets around 48 don’t know much at all about the Mini one.
