So I have ordered wally jr. He's gunna be so awesome. I just wanted to say hey and thank you for all the help. I bet you didnt even know you guys have helpped me yet but you have cuz I read. I look forward to being part of this community!

 

Congrats! Now comes the longest 6-week wait you've EVER had!

So, what did you order? Specs are always welcomed!

 

HAHA thanks. It is AB/W with sport stripes. driving lights. its an "S." DSC. Leatherette. Rooster Red Trim, Piano Black surface, anthracite headliner, bumper protection, fun.:D

 

I do have a question although its too late to make any changes... whats your experience with the leatherette?

 

Congrats! We've had both Leatherette and Leather - had no issues with either one....

I hope you dont mind me asking but which one did (or do) you like better?

 

I have leatherette and love it but we ordered the cloth for my wife on her 08 thats at the VDC just because living in Texas and having a sunroof the seats get a bit warm. I am still happy with our choices

 

Folks generally seem to love leatherette...easy to care for and wears very well. You'll be pleased, I'm sure. Anyway, congrats on the order. The day you order a MINI is right up there on the excitement-scale as taking delivery, imo...good stuff!!

 

Thank you for your "reviews" I have a question, I posted this somewhere else but i'll ask here too to see if I get lucky, If its allowed. If not then just delete the question.

On the Miniusa.com website the pictures of all their MINI's have a plate on the front/back that says "MINI COOPER S" or MINI COOPER". Does anybody here know where to get one of these plates?

 

I think now that we've had both, the Leatherette seems to be just fine....and cheaper.... The Leatherette was in our 02' that is no longer with us - so it lastest over 3 years and looked just great 3 years later....

Very cool! Thank you! I had to decide between leather and cloth and leatherette so I choose the leatherette because of the cost. I didn't really have any idea how it held up against leather until i did some research about it just a little while ago and I'm very happy I got leatherette. I'm very blessed to be able to buy a car like this.
