Placed the order today...

Here I go, I'm excited as you might suspect.

First Mini.

Now the wait begins...


Couple fo questions if this is a good spot:

1. Went for the factory alarm, good choice or bad?

2. Went for the 2010 HK with SIRIUS, not the HD. Thoughts?

3. Went for the roof spoiler. Seems it's painted at the local dealer? Hmmm. Thoughts?

Thanks,
Perry

Hi Perry!

I think your choices are just fine. The waiting is the hardest part...

Tell us some more details about your MINI! Color, etc.

1. factory alarm, great choice because you can't install it after your mini leaves the factory.

2. HK great choice, from what I've heard the stock system sucks.

3. I think spoilers are painted at the factory.

When you order the 2010 HK option, who is the manufacturer of the Radio? I know HK manufactures the speakers, but the radio also?

You CAN install the OEM MINI Alarm later, you don't have to do it when you order.

HK is great, got it in my car.

As for the roof spoiler, are you getting Just a Cooper? Or an S? If it's a cooper and you want to add a spoiler what the used parts and find one that someone took off to install an aftermarket one. You can save alot.
