We had the dealer tint windows before we took delivery and we bought the Protective Boot Space Cover (for our dog) the day we took delivery.

 

Miles, can I ask what you guys paid for boot cover? Does it fit well?

 

I'm very happy with the PA3s so far...although this hasn't been a snowy or icy winter so far. They're quiet and stable, and I've been pleasantly surprised with their behavior on ice: straight, short braking. I've never driven on Blizzaks, though.

 

Good Luck!! i have read this thread at least 4 times and still feel uncomfortable attempting. something confusing about unzipping the codex to my module in die german. i guess i would feel better about it if i was a german computer programmer.

 

1st thing i bought was the all weather floor mats and the MINI bulldog pillow for my little one. she loves her EggMINI!!

Just got it tinterd yesterday. Still waiting to roll the windows down

 

My respect for you just multiplied exponentially. Well played.

 

I havent taken delivery of my CM4 yet, but I'm planning on going straight to tint shop to get my windows tinted. Thinking of 20% in the rear and 35% in the front windows.

 

Can you tell us more about the SprintBooster?

 

I'm planning on tint and a stubby antenna to replace the long oem one.

 

I plan on a bunch of stuff:
1- mud flaps
2- viper stripes
3- window tint
4- wrapped roof load bars (from Vinyl Styles)
5- JCW Design kit (red mirror caps and vents)
6- black driving lamps

That will exhaust my MINI funds for a while.

 

Mud flaps installed by dealer before delivery(got those thrown in for free)
aFe dry filter and Craven speed Stubby as soon as he got home
Tint the next week
Magnaflow Exhaust & 4" tips three weeks later
Blackjack sunroof graphic & Flash to Pass garage door opener at the two month point

Great car, I am really enjoying it!

 

I believe I paid $265 and it fits (with the flat load floor) better than expected...it works wonders with our dog after she's been swimming!

Week 1: Tinted the Windows
Week 2: Lowered w/ NM Engineering Springs

Come Summer Time: Some new wheels and tires - 19's

 

First mod - tinted the windows.
Then, stubby antenna, Sylvania Silverstar Ultra halogen headlight bulbs, full set of Coco Mats, and 4" exhaust tips from MotoringWerks.
De-yoked my turn-signal bulbs, then re-yolked them when the silver-tipped replacement blubs were way too dim.
Next up? Side graphics, currently on their way from England. Pics to follow.

 

The SprintBooster simply changes how quickly the throttle responds to your foot pressing on the gas pedal. While you can get the same result from mashing the pedal harder, that approach doesn't feel as natural or satisfying to me.
I have a daughter who's learning to drive...mostly in my wife's Toyota Sienna minivan. When she first drove my All4 she noted that the Mini's brakes were much more sensitive and the gas pedal was much less responsive than she was used to. I agreed (but I'm fine with the brakes). With the SprintBooster, which has "off," "moderate," and "strong" settings, the responsiveness is much more to my liking as well as hers. On the green "moderate" setting, I find the "take-off curve" to be smooth and well-modulated.
Installation was literally five minutes.

 

Here's the Key fob and "Hi" badge from GoBadges.com
Next up is a stubby antenna. Our MA threw in the mud flaps so we'll be installing those as well.

 

Can you fill me on this "stubby antenna" everyone purchases. Does it help with reception/look cute? What's the deal?

Can't wait to see your car (and badge!)

 

Beauxgoris, I'm not sure if the stubby does anything for reception. I've heard that it does help, I've also heard that it makes no difference. So it could just be for looks. And that's what I'm going for. The stubby I'm going to get is also from GoBadges, it has a little shout out to the car's birth place, and it's made of carbon fiber.

And thanks, I can't wait to see my car too!

 

And sadly on back order for a few weeks! I went to order mine on Friday.

 

Yeah, I was actually going to order mine this week as well. Guess I'll have to wait. Just hurry up and wait.

Front mud flaps. A must, as the CM kicks up a lot of mud and sand all the way to the rear arches.
