It's here!!

Picked up my MINI today from MoP and so far I'm lovin' it. Only had a chance to drive from the dealer home, but those were a fine 30 miles. with the lousy weather we've been having around here it already needs a bath, but they're talking about close to 50° this weekend so a good wash may be in order.

I snapped a few quick pics (gallery) and promise to post more/better shots as soon as I have a chance.

Niiice pics in a real-life environment

Congrats!

Nice car - I really appreciate the picture of the MINI's bum (full frontal boot-ity lol) which shows the rear fog lamp. I have been unable to see this option installed, til now. I figure it's a well-spent hundred bean$, no matter what (obviously I ordered rear fog lamp hehe).

I imagine you've got the full bank of toggles, as well.... Life is goooood

Thanks!

Yeah, full toggle with the rear fog.

I'll post some interior shots tomorrow.

Congratulations on the car and the dealership :smile:

So the rear fogs were factory fitted? Or done by MoP?

Nice color choice! I've got the same on my 04. I love it, and have gotten lots of compliments on it.

(If it were me, I'd look into a clear lens for the rear fog light.)

Thanks Ian. MoP has been great to deal with.

The rear fog was factory fitted. It became an available option just before my MINI went into production. (as did the anthracite headliner which I REALLY like)

Thanks again.

I suspect the clear lens from pre-'05 MINIs (ie: the reversing light lens) will fit that position ...
I know someone that wants to convert their rear fog to an additional reversing light (when they eventually get their MINI)
