New owner of 2009 Cooper Diesel :)

Hi everyone

Thought I'd drop in and say hi before I ask for help later on, it's only polite!

I bought my first mini last month, had a nightmare with the dealership and the run flat tyres, but it's all sorted now. I'm a further £500 out of pocket on top of what I paid for the car, but I'm starting to love it. I'm just disappointed that the person before me didn't get more of the special features!

Attached is a photo of my baby who is called Penny

Now I wonder if anyone can help me with any of the following. The dealer says none of this is do-able officially, I was wondering if anyone knows a way/place I can go to get any of these things done/upgraded since I intend to keep this car until the end of it's useful life

- My interior mood lighting is ace, but it is V1 (from what I've read here) and won't auto-scroll through the colours giving the so called "disco" effect.
- My car only has basic bluetooth, not the full wireless streaming from my phone.
- My car doesn't have DAB. I LOVE DAB and even had it in my little 107 I had previously.

Now, I will do whatever I need to do, pay whatever I have to pay and go wherever I need to go to make these things happen. I want them lots! I'm sure - for the lighting especially - there must be an independent somewhere who could help me with this upgrade? As the v2 uplift version has it, I'm sure the parts must be available at least.

Can anyone point me in the right direction of a thread or a person to help me get on this? Thanks

Mat

I know what you mean, its a bit of a ***, youd have thought the person buying it new would give consideration the person thats having it next and think what extras they would like too.
