Took her home

Finally picked up my MINI after waiting for almost 4 weeks at the VDC.
here are some pics at the dealer with only 7 miles and after i had the JCW wheels installed. still trying to get to blue tooth phone to work. love this car. don't plan on tinting to windows and will not lower the car.

plan on getting to roof rack for my mountain bike. hard decision because i don't want to get to car dirty from all the dirt and sunscreen that i use.

When you switch wheel sizes do you have to switch it so your odomoter and spedometer are accurate? Is there any way to do this?

Nice choice in color (see the sig line). I am sure we will tint, but not lower.
The silver wheels look like 16" bidge spokes....our choice there, too.
Altogether a very nice ride. You got more add ons, very nice selection.
Smile for miles!

thanks for all the compliments. this site really helped in my compulsive configurations before i ordered.

again i don't plan to tint but i will await for the rear and side window sunshade. they are still on back order.

i also have the sunroof shade from Stratmosphere. here is a link for those of you who have never seen it.

I'm more concerned about having to leave it on all the time, with the understanding that this model is too much trouble to detach regularly. So I'm considering a rear holder, something I've never used before.
