Cool! That's a long time to wait, though. I ordered both of mine, and while the wait is tough, it's worth it to get exactly what you want.

White silver?

Really fantastic new color! Love those new wheels too! Does anyone know where those wheels might be available to purchase, outside of the Mini Yours package?

The dog, Nikki, & I thank you.

R53??

I don't know much about different models but isn't R53 an older model?

I have the original window sticker here & it says 2014.

I stand corrected. At first glance I thought I detected a hood scoop.

Oh, OK - you had me wondering if the (Dodge) dealer I bought it from had slipped in the sticker from another car and sold it to me for a '16.

I particularly like this site because it looks like my yellow 'o4 up in the RH Corner.

Here's my original Mini back in '65 - leaving on our honeymoon. That white paint actually "chalked" - rubbed off powdery on your hands & clothes so I painted it yellow/black top.

Not sure if the photo has attached.

Wow, that looks amazing… Do you have someone do this for you or is it something you apply yourself?

I had my detailer apply it. The Crystal Serum has to be applied by a licensed detailer, but the EXO you can do yourself.

I just wash it by hand (never through a car wash) to maintain it.

Looks good Vetsvette. I've always thought about painting my 4 door thunder grey and replicating the looks of the R56 GP. Always wanted a GP. Just couldn't do the 2 seat thing, and I also have an R56

That looks great Vetsvette. Couldn't get away from the mods huh. Lol. Wife's warranty is over this year. She wouldn't let me touch or change anything. Now she likes the idea of changing a few things. Totally cuts into my car fund though. Boooooo!

Yep, lotta mods. The '07 had 135K on it when I sold it. I told myself that I was just gonna drive the new one and not go overboard like the last time. That idea lasted about two weeks.

Body color trim or black trim is the way to go! I'm still thinking about getting white wheels for my black Cooper with white roof and mirror. Just dreading the constant cleaning I'll have to do!
