Nice!

Another neurotic MINI orderer gets his satisfaction! I know that feels bro...

I like your interior! The fiber alloy + lounge seats look great!

She's a beaut! Interior is terrific. Not a fan of the rear spoiler (bit too boy-racer but that's just me)
Other than that, she looks amazing Congrats!

Congratulations! I love the color.

Did you buy those floor mats at your dealership?

Thanks everyone!
All I can say I had thought I was downsizing by going back to a Mini cooper from a 135I BMW x6BMW and X1 35I BMW but after getting the car and after a day ! I beg to differ! I upgraded ! LOL I have put 750 mile so far in one day as I had to drive to Tenn to check on my dad and what a ride ! the only complaint i have is the seat belt rubs my neck I don't know if it the placement or what.... I was getting around 31.9 MPG average on Hwy. doing a lot of fun driving!:D My fave is SPORT MODE! This car has a tone of SPUNK AND POWER!>:D

The run flats can be nosy on certain payment and a little hard too nothing drastic or to be unexpected. The stereo is super too it sounds like the one in my previous BMW but Id say about 10% better as it a smaller car.

Another little pet peeve is when you press to squirt the windshield fluid it only wipes once not three time like other past cars had... Maybe you can program this? as one wipe isn't enough !

When you take your first curve sorta fast you will then Have the light bulb go off in your head ! and you will think...." THIS IS WHY I BOUGHT A MINI COOPER":D

on a scale of 1-10 I give it a 15!

Ill do a real nice shoot after I black out all the exterior chrome this week!

Looks great!!! So on the Fiber Alloy interior, was your "S" a March build with code 4GU for the Fiber Alloy? It appears my investigation of the door trim being Dark Silver now instead of Piano Black is true! I think it looks SUPER sharp! I'm picking up my "Just a" this week with 4GU, and have been very curious to know if I will be getting the Dark Silver door trim. Looks like I will. Yay!

Stunning! My husband is awaiting his EB/B F55, so pretty similar to yours. He bought one already in production so didn't get to pick everything so his interior is all black I think.

I'm getting ready to build one for me, going pretty closet to yours except VO exterior. Are your seats the Satellite Gray?

Also, which floor mats are those?

Very sharp interior for sure!

Great looking Mini!! And the carbon fiber scoop was a great option. I'm defy thinking about getting one when my Mini sails here this month.

Very nice Mini, inside and out. I'm not a big blue fan, and Mini has come out with many. Electric Blue is the best. Now what you need are some Cocomats, black with blue dots. Accept no substitutes. They will look 100 times better than what you have in there now trust me. It's the most striking accessory you can easily add, and it's of the highest quality too.

Another, "Wow, I would never have thought of that!" moment on the forums. Never knew cocomats existed...and they look striking.

I assume you've ordered them, yes? Do they do a good job of fitting the floor of your MINI?

I bought a set of four for my f55 last month, black with orange dots for a VO car. The fit is literally perfect, and the quality is outstanding.

Most excellent! I just ordered a set of swatches - #12 Black & White, #53 Black & Grey,#55 Black & Blue, #83 Grey & Lt. Grey - and I'll see which goes best with a Satellite Grey interior and Electric Blue exterior.

But to get back to photoboi and his Electric Blue F56 - and I do apologize for hijacking his thread - the Black & Blue WOULD look great.

Love me some coco mats!
Here's the set in my '06 Pepper White MCS - I have a great story about these mats (involves Jay Leno ).

And here's the set in my '11 Horizon Blue MCS. Excuse the mess, just got back from the Dragon and haven't cleaned up yet.

Definitely putting a set in my new one, but can't decide between black with orange dots or the gray with light gray dots.
