Tharkun, Thanks for the great tracking you did!! Also, it looks like you will be sharing some pics tomorrow!! Right? I will be the first to congratulate you on picking your baby up!

 

My guy is Vince. He's not horrible, but he takes to long to get back also. Seems to think its better to get back late and seem prepared than get back soon and let you know he's still researching something. I got the clear bra and window tinting. still it cant take that long to do.

 

i don't know the answer to your question but you might want to call them daily to remind them about the front plate. i know at least five people- six including myself- who requested that, but came to pick up their MINI with holes in the bumper. :(

 

The PDI is usually the removal of the last of the shipping protection, check fluid levles, batt, make sure the car starts. A final detail/shine....baiscally make it look nice for the customer and it will drive off of the lot.

If you do not what the license holes drilled, make that request a few times, here in the bay area there is one dealer that refuses not to do it, stating it is a law issue. Also my dealer had removed the MSRP sticker and placed it in the back seat of Skeeter.

 

Glad if I have been of help in the long wait.

I wished I was taking delivery of another Mini.......but I have had Skeeter since 8/14 and he has just passed the 2k trouble free mile marker.

Some pics of Skeeter at the link below.

A full bra/tint job should be completed in 5 - 8 hours, depending on the installer.

 

Duh!! I am in outer space I didn't see that your delivery was in August. My Bad! By the way who from the Boheme is lowering their rides? Will I be the 1st? I have some H&R Springs waiting for my baby!

 

Masterd you gotta show your low Mini once you do it. I'm afraid to lower my Mini since it has the aerokit on it. I don't think it would get over any speedbumps after I put on 10 pounds at the holidays coming up.

 

Masterd, I'm not lowering or anything but my first accessory is one of Ev's windscreens. I just don’t know if I have the heart to put it on at the lot before I drive off. The wind screen should be here tomorrow in the next day or so. What other accessories or mods do people have planned for their mini?

 

I mailed my JCW steering wheel to the dealership to install. I was going to do it myself but chickened out because I didn't want to mess with the airbag. (I have 2 left hands) I also have my pirate floor mats which may be a very tricky install... line it up juuuuuuuust right, hehe.

 

I'm guessing the Floormat Pic is not yours. If it is more power to you on the RHD.

 

Hi Chur, no, it's the pic from the website I bought the mats from. They are better looking than the pic. The large pirate mat in the boot looks gooooood.

 

Blackpearl, nice mats!! I will for sure post before and after pics. I am also going to do an antenna swap for a shorty, I am thinking of having my dealer do it...what do you think? J/K But the JCW Wheel what are they charging you for install?

List of future mods in no particular order:

Tint
H&R Rear Sway Bar
Megan Racing Rear Control Arms
Alta Exhaust
JCW CF Bonnet Scoop
JCW Alacantra Steering Wheel
Team Dynamics Race 2 Wheels in White
JCW Alacantra Shift and Park Brake Boot
JCW CF Dash Panels
M7 Coilovers

And I'm sure there will be more!

 

$120 for the install. I just don't feel comfortable doing it. I'm thinking shorty antenna too. That's about my DIY speed

 

Here is a list of options I have ready to install.
OEM alarm
JCW Carbon shift **** and E brake

As for the lowering, exhaust, new strut, intake, ill be waiting for Dinan to release the product.

I think I have a few more things lying around, ill post a pic after everything is done. The car will be going into the shop the day of arrival, CANT WAIT!

 

Sirr6 - Nice list of mods to get done right off!

 

EEK! I just checked Owner's Lounge and it has an estimated delivery of 9/16 - heart started pounding after I read that

Does anyone know what that date means? Is that when it arrives at the dealer?

 

As it shows it is an "estimated date" for delivery to the dealer. Best to contact your MA and he could show a differant date or the same, but he could have more info on the status of your Mini.

 

so, i call the dealer today and they said the car didnt come in and it'll be there on sat, so i can pick it up on sunday, just happens a couple hours later, my rep called and stated that my car is delayed another week!!!!!(heart pounds for a min) then he laughs and said that the car just arrived on a 2nd truck, so i can pick it up tomorrow!!!! Finally!!! It'll be in the shop for a couple days to get everything installed, and ill take pics. So, people in norcal should get their car tomorrow or sunday.

 

Congrats and have a good weekend !!

 

Ours has not shown up, and I'm flying out tomorrow evening. So, they'll deliver it on Monday to my wife. Oh well, I'll see it in a week.

 

WooHoo!
The Dealer called at about 4:30 to say our MINI had arrived. We're set to pick it up Sunday morning.

 

she's home! wow. this is really much more than I had imagined. wow.

 

Pics!! Pics!! Pics, please!!

We've scheduled pickup for next Friday, the 21st at MINI of Murray. Can't wait!!

 

Congrats on gettings yours.
