Is it possible that the "S" scuttles for Europe are different than that of the US? I recall reading on Mini2 that some of the European want the Chrome scuttles available on US spec "S" minis.

In my garage!
I got my BRG R57 tonight. I got it home just before the big rain hit tonight. It was a perfect night to piuck up a convertible. It was 80 degrees and just after rush hour but I still hit the HOV lane with my wife and we had the lane all to ourselves. It is a real beauty! Thanks to everyone on on the site for your info and comments. Loving it!

Since Childhood I dreamed of having a red sports car!
Here's Ours. I noticed Jonjer72 has one like it but with stripes. Still contemplating a future upgrade with color coded aero kit and mirror caps. Most people I talk to though think the car looks good with the black fenders and side skirts. Probably because of the black bullet wheels. It really changes the look of the car. I also like the look of the brushed alloy with red trim. Glad to be part of the R57 owners club and it's our first MINI and first Cabrio :woohoo:

The only thing I'm not sure about is the black leather interior. While it looks amazing with that car, my experience from my last car tells me that "black leather + convertible = swamp ***" as my friends called it. Make sure you don't leave your car parked outside with the top down on a sunny day, as you will melt when you get back in the car.

Thanks! We are in the NOVA DC area now. Just got the Notice of Arrival from the shipping company. So the MINI is in port waiting to be picked up. I forgot that today is a holiday and of course, nobody wants to work today. So I have to wait til Monday. But it's all good. AT least she's on dry land again!

i'd posted in 1st gear, but here's my new baby, along with a few extra shots
phone cam
i have black/white UJ decals coming for door armrests and center stack from aesthetic creations...
driving the bendies at crystal mt blvd. wonder if i should get side stripes...
it fits my giant malamute. wish the rear seat covers would cover the cloth headrests too. slobber has to be cleaned up right after to avoid staining...

That Ray cream cloth/leather looks better and better every time I see it. Great combo with the PW MINI!
