I got the stripes done at a sign writing shop. I took a photo of what I wanted and they fitted them. A lot cheaper than the dealership supplying and fitting them even though the dealer uses the same shop to fit all their stripes

The ride is quite comfortable on decent roads although really firm. If you hit a sharp bump, the progressive nature of the springs keeps it from feeling crashy, but the loss of a full inch of travel certainly doesn't absorb the bumps as well. I love the handling but regarding comfort, you're giving up quite a bit. As a daily driver, the jury is still out and I may need to go back if my wife doesn't get used to them. I put these on pre-delivery, so all I have to compare them to is an hour of seat time in a Cooper S 3 months ago. I have no torque steer feedback yet as I just got the car and I'm only at 150 miles and in my initial break in period. I'd be happy to provide more information once I can push the car more.
Some other info though... the Eibach Pro-Kit drops the car 1.2". That leaves exactly 4.5" of clearance under the front lip. The rear camber is still in spec and the dealer didn't see the need to readjust it. Removal of the two deflectors is needed though or they hit a lot. I didn't see any real use for them anyway - they won't take any weight, so if the front lip was going hit, it will still hit. 4.5" of clearance is pretty good though with such a short overhang.
Thanks for the comments too!

I just phoned the dealership and they checked and found that the factory forgot to fit the darkened rear glass. They are now ordering the darkened glass in and are going to fit it when it arrives.
Myonly concern is that its not being done in the factory and are they going to be able to fit it as good as in the factory. Also if the seals are going to be the same.

Motorhead's mini is exactly what i was going to order. But then ive decided to wait one more year for the refresh in hopes for a better interior and better paint choices. I wanted gunmetal paint, with silver roof much like the clubman scheme, with those same silver stripes.
Its so hard to not order a JCW after seeing motorheads car..... arrrgg...

Hi Chris. No - it's actually the standard color line. It looks lighter in the picture than it actually is.. but the standard color line matches the lighter gray seat accents and arm rests perfectly.

I'm hoping that black gauge faces will pull the interior together a little better.
