Just picked up my new Chili Red/MCS fully loaded with every option except the NAV today at lunchtime. It has white racing stripes, white tailights, Aero front bumper only and the 3M clear bra on the bumper. It's been sitting at the dealer for the last two weeks waiting for the aero bumper to be painted. I'm also getting chrome mirrors that are being sent to me.

I thought getting the aero front bumper included the black grill on the hood as well. I guess I didn't specify that to the dealer. Now that I've finally seen the car (I had it delivered to my work) I think I like it better with the aero kit front bumper and not having the black grill on the hood.

I plan doing a lot of driving this weekend. I will post pictures as soon as I can.

THey (the dealer) put the bumper on. It doesn't come from the factory that way.

RaceCarDriver - I'll be up your way Saturday if you want us to stop and see your MINI. Sunday we'll be down in our area if you want to stop by.

Congrats!

Now when is Helix going to finish my chip! :smile:

so he should get both bumpers right? since he already paid for the stock bumper in the purchase price, and paid extra for the aero bumper?

Know they didn't give me the stock bumper. I'll post pics as soon as I can figure out how. Greatgro I'll need your help to do that.

Enjoy!

I just checked the Lounge. My ChiliRed/White MCS is at the Distribution Center. How long do I have to wait for it to arrive? LA to Denver, 1300 mile truck ride and some dealer prep.

The closer it gets (sea voyage included) the more impatient I'm getting.

Drive it and enjoy it with others.
