'08 Pepper White MCS has finally arrived!

My MCS finally arrived in Ohio, but I won't be able to pick it up until this weekend (I'm out-of-state right now). Here's some pics from my MA....

nice, congrats to you and your new Mini, one question? did yours come with the aero kit from the factory or did they apply it at the dealership?

Thanks for the comments everybody. As for the JCW aero kit, it was installed and painted at the port of entry (as far as I know, the JCW kit WILL NOT be installed at the factory... bastards!). Getting the pieces installed and painted at the port will cost you about $1800. Getting it done at the dealership may get up to $2100. Of course, you could just buy the parts, get it painted locally (or by yourself), and just install it yourself (it doesn't seem too difficult). Oh yeah, I had to make a special request to have the rear diffuser painted black, because normally it is painted body color.

Since you're out of town, I'll pick it up for you and start the break-in process


Great looking MINI!

Nice color choice! Tomorrow marks two weeks for me and I will hit my 1200 break in period. Sport button here I come.

Have fun this weekend.

From my understanding the PW JCW Aero kit comes painted from the factory. It is just installed at either the dealership or the port. I also ordered the JCW Aero kit with mine, but had to wait a month and a half for backorder. There are a few colors that come prepainted, but most of the other colors have to be painted at a body shop.

Really? I learn something new everyday.... I did have to make a special request with painting the rear diffuser black.
