Exactly the same as Moonshine above. I have a March build Cooper actually built on the 12th or 13th of March, stickers on the car have the date. This is week 10 I believe. The car has the same things as in the photos, I hadn't noticed them before. My springs have two pale orange strips on them.
Glad to here it's alot better Apial, well done for all your hard wrok and perseverance.

My Cooper just ahs the normal plate in the engine bay stating March 02. I found the other date while looking underneath the car. Look under the rear bumper at the rear suspension where it attaches to the wheels. My Cooper has a white sticker each side with a barcode on and a date as well as some other production codes. That is where I found what i believe to be my build date. From what i have read the new parts went onto the production line in week 9 which was about the start of march. However, some people seem to think their car pulls left even if it was bilt after this date. So who know what the **** is going on?
At least my Cooper seems to drive straight.

Hi R1,
Glad to hear that your new Cooper is much better. Really pleased for you. Those photos are good, same as my car which must have been built at just the right time Week 9 or 10. After driving a Cooper S I started wondering about my car drifting to the left. I think it is OK and it was probably the Cooper S handling differently becuase it had 17 inch wheels. Anyway I have the newer suspension so don't have a problem.

Skinny,
Did you go back to the dealer that told you there wasn't a fix and tell them what the other dealer said?
I bet you felt like telling them to **** off.
Good luck, hope your car gets sorted quickly
