Looks good! Yeah that mount is great. I have one but I'm not going to use it until I change to the JCW front bumper. Already did the rear.

 

Thanks!!

Ooo post photos when complete??

Hello, can i get #912 - MCS13?

Thanks!

Meet Sheldon -

 

Definitely going with the professionally painted fender arches. I successfully plastidipped (sp?) my gas cap, but that's where it stopped for me.

As for the wheels...

 

But of course!!!! As soon as this winter season passes, I'm going to get the front bumper.

 

I have the JCW exterior package. It has the black trim arches but body color panels along the bottom. That works for me (see configuration). Of course, the body color is the indomitable Pepper White (MINI's finest color by our biased judgment).

 

If I could have configured my car, I would have gotten the JCW exterior package. I bought mine used and after a month of searching for the right one, the closest I got to it was my "Klaus". Certainly not disappointed though...just have to tweak him a bit to get him just right :-)

 

Quite honestly, I probably wouldn't have bought my MCS Roadster without the JCW exterior package. Minimally, I would've had second thoughts or considered the regular MCS Hardtop as an alternative. The JCW exterior package makes that much of a difference in the Roadster's appearance IMO. But that's just me.

 

Hi minted-rose,
I noticed that #310 is still available from your latest list. Can I reserve that number for Alfie who is still in pieces across the pond? That number holds sentimental value for us . . . okay, okay - it's my house number. But I figure that Alfie will always know where to go when he's tired of traversing the highways. Like that's ever going to happen!

 

linak,

What's your MINI's estimated production completion date? I found the wait period between factory production and ship assignment very aggravating. It took mine one week to go from the finish of production (9/13) to boarding a ship (9/20).

 

I wish I had a completion date. I'm in the "scheduled for production - without a date" category. I keep thinking - soon, soon . . .

 

Check with your MA or live ASK MINI rep for the most recent progress reports. I called ASK MINI reps almost daily without a trace of guilt. They're very patient and exceptionally friendly.

 

You got It !! I'm at a run with some fellow mini mates. I just had time to add your request.

Congrats!!!

Thanks Minted-Rose,
You made my day. Enjoy your motoring!

 

thanks! It was a blast! (Breakfast at a bbq joint, ice cream in Chincoteague, lunch at Hoopers Crab House).

At least you have a MINI for your motoring adventures (sigh). Mine sits on the Torino in Santander, Spain, awaiting it's final voyage across the Atlantic. It's due in Baltimore on October 3rd. Until then, I'll plug along in my little Fiat 500 rental...vroooom, vroooom!

 

Soon, my friend. Soon. And then, beep beep vroom vroom wave wave.

The good thing about yours is that it's brand spanking new. I bought mine at 5yrs of age and 39k miles already on it...and some small dog hair in the passenger foot area. It was garage`d majority of its life before I bought it but still...I didn't get to break it in.

 

I'm glad my Roadster's new. I haven't bought a used car since my last MG in the mid-1970's. That's one advantage of being a lawyer, I guess. The funny thing? My favorite cars of all time were MG's, including a used '66 MGB and a used '71 MG Midget. My first new car was a '75 MG Midget I bought for about $3,500 when I started college (I'm 57 years-old).

 

MGBs are awesome little cars but I heard maintenance sucks for it unless you know how to work on them. I certainly do not. I'm a bit too young to have a favorite vehicle but so far so good, my MINI is my current favorite and was my "quarter century crisis" vehicle. (I'm old enough to be your daughter at 29yrs.)

Hi Minted-Rose.......... may I have a number for my 06 Cooper S. Ni request for a special number, might have better luck if you pick it!

 

are you sure you want me to pick a number for you?? i'm so indecisive, it's terrible BUT how many digits would you like, would you like to incorporate your lucky number, anything of significance that you would like for me to know before i pick your number ??

 

I have two daughters close in age to you. Kelly (OSU'13)(age 22), on the left in the photo, and Kristen (UA'10)(age 25).

 

NAM poster SheldonCooper found an official BMW site where you can get a line item breakdown of your MINI order and images of the exterior/interior. Here's mine before installation of the chrome driving lamps:

 

Awwww!! do you think they'll want to steal your convertible when they come home for the holidays?

is it crazy that i consider my dog-like cat to be my kid?

 

Probably not. Kristen married her fraternity sweetheart (a lawyer) and they live near Birmingham, AL, so she's out of the area. Kelly just bought a BMW and has no interest in my Roadster. Best of all, neither one knows how to drive a 6 speed manual. I'm a dog guy 100%, but I understand the cat thing. My sister-n-law has no children, so her cat's treated like a child. She sends out greeting cards with regards from "Rocky" the cat. I question her sanity.
