A new F56 in Seattle...

Picked up my new VO/White F56 yesterday. Really happy with the way everything worked out, especially the white seats with the black headliner and dark gray color line.

We'll see how the white roof stands up to the Seattle rain

The rain tends to take a bunch of dust and pollutants out of the air and leave them behind wherever it evaporates. My old car had a black roof which hid water spots and the like really well...probably won't get so lucky with the white.

Black definitely shows Water spots and dirt a lot more than white. I got the white roof for that very reason

My boss wanted to use his fancy DSLR to take some pictures at work, so we found a spot in the parking garage and snapped a few quick shots. These are just the resized versions he was able to send over FB, I don't have the full RAW files yet.

Hello, first post here. This is my iced chocolate 2015 justa.

Just detailed the car today. Dealer's pre-delivery work and subsequent free car wash completely marred the paint with hideous swirling, scratches and hologramming all over. Now after a few hours it is clean and perfect (for now)!

Excellent. First picture I remember of Iced Chocolate, which is a color I really like. I was considering that and Volcanic Orange.

Saw an Iced Chocolate/Black/Black Bonnet Stripes in Philly the other night. First time I've seen this combo. Was very striking - a beaut! Enjoy your new car.

Now that car looks EXCELLENT. First Cooper I've seen with JCW body kit. The front grille is better than the MCS for sure. And the red/white/British flag theme is great. If I'd have walked into that showroom and didn't have a new Mini I'd have had a hard time not driving home in that. Was it an impulse buy? Say yes!

Wasn't an impulse buy as such. My wife had a 2007 MINI one we part-ex for this. We put the order in for this on October 5th and made it the same colour combo and roof graphic she had before. We really wanted chili red so had to get the jcw packs as well. The dealer had the car under a cover for us when we came to collect from the show room. When he got the cover off I was amazed how good it looked. If I had been in the show room that day and just looking around, I would have wanted our car right away.

Even while running this in, it already drives a lot quicker and handles much nicer than the gen 2 MINI one did. Feels a lot more like my Gen 1 Cooper S and has so much torque low in the Rev range. The turbo noise with the window open is so much fun as well.

Here are couple other pics of the car. Haven't got any since it left the show room as it's been raining since then.

Everyone say the F56 Cooper is way faster than the R56 Cooper. My MA said exactly what you said: it's about like the R53 MCS. People buy that Burger Tune JB thingy and say it's like the MCS. For $400.

What is that wheel option?, they kind of look like R60 US wheels.

They are 17" Track Spoke Alloys. Only available as part of the JCW Exterior pack. Come in silver or black here in the UK.

I'll have to check out that tuning option. If it can have same sort of power as my old MCS for only $400 that is a good deal. Thx
