Crappy iPhone photo in a parking garage.
What was it that your Mini was "making you think" about? Was it reliability questions or kinda wishing you had gotten different option questions? You've had it for a while now; are you still having those questions?

How did you get the trim pieces to be black instead of being chrome?

That is a really nice looking car!!! How do you guys like it? My fiance' wants a Countryman, I am all about the hardtop. Since I have a Tacoma 4-door I don't care about space.

Picked up an awesome Cooper S in Silver White. Loving this color! Obligatory photo in car thanks to the wife.

How much are you missing 300+hp? Were you nervous to leave the comfort of Japanesse automotive reliability? I have been a Honda/Acura now Toyota person for the past 20 years but I reallly like the Mini's but I still have questions regarding reliability......?

Got the Fiber Alloy and JCW interior - it looks as great inside as it does outside.
What was your reliability of the 2005 MCS?

I been reading about the wrap technology, I have not seen it in person but it looks very nice. It seems to have less shine than normal paint? I how much should I expect to pay to have my grill surround cost?

Thanks.

Wrap jobs for trim like that will run from $50-$100.

That sounds great! Thanks for your help. I think I finally have my color combo: Thunder Gray/White Top. I was really leaning toward teh Midnight Black but I think the Mini is just to small of a vehicle for blk, it looks even smaller in black.

They are from the factory. I ordered my MINI to get the exact car I wanted.

Serious lack of eBlue in this thread.

Also, anyone in SoCal with an eBlue Justa wanna trade bumpers? They'd swap out, right? Personally, I like the smoothness of the Justa front so I'm just throwing that out there.

Nice MINI!

Not sure you can just swap bumpers. Think your brake ducts require the Cooper S bumper, no?
