I'm gonna get an Alta 4" shorty antenna, and that's about it for a long while. I don't want any performance parts on this car (that got real old on my previous car). Down the line, I'll likely get some wheels and tires.
My dealer also said they'd not install the front plate on mine.

What's in the bottom 2/3 of the fog light? I didn't notice they were split.
I am getting the glovebox shelf from the dealer, the window shade, and mud flaps. First real mod will be a radiator bug guard.
A no holes front plate mount also. However I'll probably wait til the registration is due before I install the plates (year). My dealer agreed to not mount the front plate holder, so there won't be any holes in the front bumper (CA law requires a front plate).
I may consider blacking out the chrome bits; don't really like chrome on cars.

Okay - so I'm totally confused. The mini website says my car is still awaiting transport. The ASKMINI line says it's in transport to the port of departure. The WW Site says it left on the 5th on the Topeka. What the????

I did talk to a live person. Who, by the way, treated me like an obsessed mental patient. Very condescending and unhelpful. He told me that my boat just got the port today. So that's 4 different stories now... I"m just hoping Tharkun is right!

Unless you have a really unique situation......if WW site shows your VIN #, it will show a time that your Mini was loaded, and that means your Mini is on that ship.

I think the site for the radiator guard says you need to remove the front to install it, but the powder coating makes bugs wash off. Not sure how easy it is to remove the grill though. Never owned a Mini before.

My little yellow mini is on the PATRIOT with some of yours. Just had my tracking discovery today reading through threads, the dealers weren't very helpful they could make it so much more exciting if they used the tools discovered here :-) Our ship looks to be on schedule!

Billo, did you get the convenience package? If so do you have a USB port next to AUX in?

If you check the WW site it has been updated to arrive in Port Hueneme on the 16th and depart on the 17th. Looks like the captain made up some time during the trip.
On the WW web site got to: Customer Service -> Schedules -> Search By Vessle -> Medea
Edit: Oops! my bad, different ships we're talking about here as you're on the east coast.

I just checked the OL again today, and now it shows a delivery date of 9/16 which is today, Sunday....do you think they actually have people come in on their days off to get the cars or just wait until Monday? Hopefully they come in today and I can pick my car up tomorrow afternoon!!!!
