Buy the puddle lights with the lens inserts and swap them out. There are a number of vendors who frequent this site who sell them, and they're a do it yourself job.

I got some JCW logo ones that look great (not nearly as big as the British flag in the pic). $30 plug and play. I suspect the R56 and F56 ones are the same but don't quote me.

I just ordered ones from GoBadges. Their website says it fits 2007+ minis. Installed them on our F56 and R56 with no real issues. Instructions aren't spot on, but easy enough to figure out. I think they look cool and highlight the crack in my driveway nicely.

I think this is the first real pic of a 4-door in BRG that I've seen. Looks great! Can't wait 'till mine gets here.

I will say, I ve been with a single manufacturer my whole life, before making the switch to MINI. I was VERY invovled with the service side, but also the corp. side of that manufactor.

From what I have seen at MINI, they will do A LOT to make things right with someone Sales and Service. Might be worth an Email or phone call.

I got to drive a F55 home for two days, VERY neat cars. I might end up leasing one very soon after that!

just traded my wifes 2012 countryman S for a 2015 4-door S.

all the little things that bugged me such as the sport button and window toggles have been relocated and is so much more user friendly! our countryman S was pretty bare bones so all the new bells and whistles and little things like an ARMREST (really...this is not standard?), black headliner, real bluetooth, LED lights, heated seats even though we live in cali are pretty nice. our countryman also had an issue with the A/C and it seemed like it was always blowing hot air 24/7 so that alone was worth getting rid of the thing.

i think ours is also a white silver with white stripes. i wasn't crazy about going silver with all the color options out there but my wife is the one driving it 80% of the time so i had no say. other than the color i feel like it's day and night difference between the 2 cars and is 1000x better.

i'll try to remember to post pics later.

Thanks! I waffled a bit on my choices, but once I picked these out, I was pretty set .

Yes I second that the cottonwood dash in person looks great and has a certain feel when you touch it.

Congrats.

The Cottonwood is so awesome, every time a passenger steps in my car the second thing they notice is the wood (first thing is always the LED ring), they always compliment it and say they should have never expected such a nice wood trim in a MINI (most don't know MINI's big brother is BMW and they have access to nice materials such as these)

My wife picked up a new 2015 Mini 4-door two weeks ago. She bought a 2014 Mini Clubman last year to replace her 2007 PT Cruiser that was starting to give us some issues. It didn't take long, however, for her to realize that she really missed having a 4-door. She thought the 3rd door on the passenger side would make it better than a 2-door, but the problem was that it was on the passenger side, so she never really used it. Not only that, but she also realized that getting stuff out of the rear in the rain was annoying, because the barn doors didn't cover your head like a hatch. So rather than settle for a car she didn't love, we decided it was better to cut our losses and trade the Clubman in for a F55. Turned out to be a great decision - she loves the 4-door!

She ordered it about 8 weeks ago in Moonwalk Gray with white roof and mirrors. She wanted cloth seats, so we went for the JCW interior package with the black striped cloth sport seats.

The interior is really fantastic looking with the Glowing Red color accent, light gray door panels, and anthracite headliner - so it's got bits of black, red, gray, and chrome. She considered the JCW rubber floor mats to add even more splashes of color, but it was just too busy matched with that interior - plus the dealer had thrown in the Mini rubber all-season accessory mats anyway, so we stayed with the all-black mats.

@wjones14, that's a really nice combo you've got on the interior, I was about to order the grey door panels, but for some reason I backed out and now regret it, besides that my interior is identical to yours (aren't the cloth seats really comfy?) but I have the dark cottonwood dash trim. Enjoy your MINI and motor on!

Yeah, the JCW seats and trim are incredible! I love the interior. It's really much higher quality than anything we have ever owned. But what really sets it apart is the uniqueness - we just loved that it was so configurable, and I think my wife did a great job choosing the combination she went with. Car interiors no longer need to be mundane and drab!


I recently ordered a BMW myself, but I have to say that Mini has it all over BMW when it comes to the level of configuration combinations that are allowed. The Mini is a great car, Mini owners are a great community (love to wave to other owners whenever I see them), and the F55 4-door is just what the doctor ordered for us...
