Oh right, I'm seriously considering getting that too. Do you know if they make one for the JCW Aero?

yeah they make it for the JCW and it cost around $540. It will make the car more saleable if you go to resell it as well as protect your paint. Virtually invisible and has a 5 year warrantee on it or something like that.

I met a boy, cute as can be

Summer days driftin' away,

Tell me more, tell me more,
Did you get very far?

Everything went well, and it's a BLAST to drive! My MA gave me a choice between rubber or carpet mats, so I took the carpet. She also gave me a non-slip mat for the cargo area, two really nice MINI keychains, and an umbrella. A pop-up organizer also came with the car.

Here are a few pictures.

First, me with my new toy!

Hmmmm....Can't get multiple pictures, so I'll have to do a post for each.

Here's a shot of the Mellow Yellow Color Line w/ Piano Black trim. I opted for the piano upgrade to break up the textures of the different blacks since my interior is so dark.

Also, I'm kind of glad I missed out on the Anthracite headliner as now I think it would have made the roof feel lower inside because of the darkness.

Here's a shot from the rear. Still considering some form of Sport Stripes, but part of me thinks it may make the rear doors too "busy" because of the pillars. I'll drive it as is for awhile until I mkae my mind up.

And finally, a side shot. I'm REALLY pleased with the added height of the 225/40-18's that I went with. They fill the wheel wells without rubbing, giving the illusion of being lowered without sacrificing any wheel travel. Ride is excellent as well since I did not go with run-flats since I carry a spare (remember, mine's a Non-S).
