Hello, everyone, I am new here in this forums. My first Mellow Yellow MINI cooper is going to delivery in two days. I was struggling of choosing the color between night fire red or mellow yellow. It's really a delmma. After searching the internet with cooper's color, I decided the mellow yellow color with black roof top. Below is my spec


R56 MINI Cooper
Mellow Yellow.
16" orginal wheel (Please advise alloy wheel)
yellow lining
Piano black and chrome interior
bonnet strip

I can't wait to see her and for sure will post load of picture after that.

 

Oh you lucky bast..i mean welcome to NAM mate. Congrats on your new mini

 

Thanks, sure am I a luck bast?...glad to post my first thread, and wish to meet new friends here, by the way, I am in taiwan, forgive my bad english, but I actually lived in Indianapolis for quite a long time. Racing city with Formula one, indy 500 and NASCAR......
Anyway, my dealer going to put the black bonnet strip on my car, but I couldn't decide in the cetner or both side strip. anyone give me the advise?

 

Search around for stripes on this forum or look around for pics. I think both look cool (i am not getting any on mine). I was calling you a lucky bastard because mine is still on order :( (*pokes jarid with a 200mile pole*) and my MA (jaridp) told me it's gonna be sometime between November and December. I am so hoping for a November delivery (gonna be a nice birthday present and longweekend ftw).

Your English is fine - My mandarin is limited to "ni hao"

 

Congratulations on your new car. You picked a good color, too. How much in TWD did it cost? Do you have to pay a luxury tax on top of the sale price? I know you'll be happy with your choice.

 

you guys definitely have no idea how much MINI cost in taiwan. Due to the government protection for domestic car producer policy, there are so many taxes involved before a car import to taiwan. I don't know about luxury taxes on top of anything, but I could give you the idea of MCS posted official price is 46,363 in us dollar, it probably (or not) including some packages but for sure I paid extra cost for AUX connector and the Black racing stripe. Yes, I am not kidding, for cooper I paid 37,450 and waited round two weeks to see my baby. Isn't that crazy? look up the price!!!!!you guys can get a BMW M3 in united states....

 

For: MINIPHATTY, I am apprecrited your advise, I guess the racing stripes on the both side of engine hood would be look lot more better, doing some research and takes someone's photo for own reference does help....thank you very much.

Does anyone knows or did install JCW aero kit onto COOPER?...I am thinking about doing it , and of course in taiwan I have to pay 3000usd included labor cost to do that, can anyone give me any advise of what should I do or prepare before install it?
