| Taken the plunge (D to P) Aero Grille On! After 5 years with One D's I have decided the extra cost now to switch to a dooper is not economical so I have just ordered a prebuilt One which fit my basic spec perfectly. Hope to get it in about 10-14 days and will post pics ASAP. 58 reg MINI One bulit Nov. Pepper pack White vipers Will try and put the new & old together for a photo before I swap them over!

| Went for that design with my first MINI to stand out a bit as I use it for work and stuck with it ever since, don't see many around but big waves when I do! It's costly and hard to do yourself so I think that puts people off. |

| Nice welcome to the club! Alike Alex I also have a Chili red One, and retained the red roof unlike some people !! You'll love it, waiting for photo's now! Are you a modder as such, or will it stay as it comes? It's a Mini Adventure. |

| Can't mod too much as I use it for work as a driving instructor but may be more tempted to with the petrol version. Would mainly be cosmetic at first though. Have to say when I took one for a spin I was really surpised how well it went, felt more like my wifes old r53 cooper in terms of performance. Compared with the 1st gen I have to say it felt much better through the revs and quicker than I expected. And of course as chuckable as ever !Can't wait now.... |

| Cheers Supa, have found out that the stripes can't be done until Monday. Really need to run it in a bit over the weekend so will get it Friday without the stripes, weekend jaunt to Coventry & back, then back to dealers for a clean and stripe fitting Monday! Wonder if they'll let me drive it out the showroom again Monday after stripes fitted?  |
