Very nice! And good to see someone who not only doesn't black out the chrome but embraces it.

Just hope he doesn't get confused and think he's a Fiat since you gave him an Italian name.

Thank you!

The name is actually a Spanish nickname for Jose so no confusion

Actually, he is a Brit as far as a concept is concerned, and as a matter of where he was born. Design and engineering is all BMW. Its akin to having a German couple go to England just to have a baby. The Germans and the Brits have an ongoing, and good natured argument of whether a Mini is a Brit or a German born in Britain. But almost everyone in these days, agree that when it's all said and done, a modern Mini is basically a front wheel, small platform BMW made by Brits in England. And this is going to be even more the case with the 3rd generation that starts rolling out this year.

Agree with CR regarding the chrome. Love it! My Mini S Roadster has the same chrome theme, (exterior chrome line and chrome bonnet scoop), but no driving lights or bonnet stripes. I was going for a "racy", but elegant look.

Welcome to NAM and congrats on your new MINI. I always like to see pics of the Leather/Cloth Polar Beige. It always looks better in person that on the MINI build site. Thanks for the pics. Happy motoring and don't forget to wave.
