Hi

Hi

I am getting a 2007 MINI Cooper S. My dealer found one to nearly all of my specs in Portland and is having it shipped to me. It should be here next week; much quicker than having to wait for one to be built and shipped. If I had the time to wait, I would have done that.

I am getting Auto Paint Guard's headlight protection kit. Is there any other essentials I need to get for the car?

I emailed my MA before driving the 250 miles to pick up my 07 MCS:
-------------
Jen,

Are there specific care products recommended by Mini? If so, I'd like to get them while I'm at Patrick:

For cleaning and maintenance:

Leather upholstery
Inside trim
Black plastic & rubber exterior
Door gaskets/seals
Exterior finish
Alloy wheels

A quart of the same oil that's in the crankcase.
-------------
She had them in a box, no charge, when I arrived

Thanks for the welcomes. I'm getting a laser blue/white MCS with upgraded suspension, LSD, 10 speaker audio, xenon lights, and some other things. The only thing I wanted was a sun-roof, but in AZ, I suppose I can live without the heat beating down directly on my head. LOL
