I had no idea the wheels were going to look so good! I love her looks!
So glad I went with SB and the SB color line!
And LOVE Mini Connected!! And the lights!!

I may try photo bucket for storing all my pics from my phone. Do you only have an allotted amount of space?

 

Yes but it is generous. You can also upgrade to a paid level which is unlimited. It is something I may do as an offsite backup to all my photos. There are a ton of easy to use photoshop-type effects as well.

I LOVE the color line interior too--and the lights!

 

Dealer ended up installing our mudflaps:



Looks like a completely different color in this shot;

 

Reasoning behind the name, Stitch

 

I really like the mud flaps. I removed them from the order because of how much the dealership was going to charge to install. Bet I could get it done somewhere else for much less.

 

Well the dealer actually ended up installing at no extra charge. I think they were getting tired of us! lol

 

I realize now I should have pushed and I bet I could've gotten them to comp it too! I just wanted to bring her home, and I hadn't seen them on any of the CMs on the lot--now that I see how integral they are, I am going to look into it.

 

Let me know what you find. I know there's a thread with the how to for installing.

 

would the rear mud flap be necessary? me and my gf will be picking ours up on the 2nd of April,

 

I find that it keeps a fair amount from kicking up onto the boot. So I think it's worth it.

 

Honestly, the front mud flaps took maybe 20 minutes to install, the first one being 12 of the 20 minutes. Really easy. Haven't done the rear ones yet as I wasn't sure if I wanted them. Next trip across the border, I'll get them as they are quite a bit cheaper vs. what they want for them in Canada.

 

Thanks all for the info. Now I am really interested.

 

Ordered some Mudflaps today. I definitely like the look. I've put some on before so it shouldn't be to difficult.

 

I'll take a picture of my boot tomorrow so you guys can see what it looks like. I'll have had Stitch for a week on Monday, and since then we've had a lot of rain and my boot, though it's dirty, is not nearly as dirty as I imagine it might be without the flaps.

 

I have to ask... Why "eggMini"?

 

Well as you can see by my screen name, which I have had since the beggining of the internet, and my daughter(and better half) now have fun putting Egg in front of fo all our names. Hence my daughter called him "EggMINI" and so it shall be.

 

She wanted to say hi...

 

Hey Minimouse, do you have the back housing on your headlights or is that just the shadows?

I do like the look of the black housings!! Maybe I'll have to do the Joey Mod

 

They are the black headlight housings.
I'm so glad I listened to my husband on that... Love the look!

 

Not getting the blacked out Xenon headlights is my first regret...
