Finally Here

Got the call yesterday from MA - my '06 Cooper is finally in at So. Bay Mini. MA Freddie & Mgr. Jennifer were just outstanding & patient through all my mind-changing. It's PW/B with heated leatherette sport seats; Piano Black trim; Chromeline Int.; HK; For a custom touch I'm having their body/paint shop prep & paint the wheel arches, rocker panels, front/back black trim to Pepper White - Saw one done like that & loved it - kind of a painted aero kit look but retaining the stock grill. Gonna cost me another 4 days to taking delivery but worth it. Went with the standard 15 in. holeys & they're for sale. Leaning toward 16 in. Rota Subzeros with polished lip & maybe slight drop with Hsport springs. Thanks to all here for a lot of useful info over the past months, particularly C4, Octane Guy (who I'm going to for detail) & Kenchan. Almost time to motor.

The piano black interior looks cool... esp with the PW body color, which is in a great contrast from outside to inside.

thanks - I got my first real look in person yesterday before the car went in for prep - I do love it - even the colored circles. I think it looks particularly cool with the black/gray leatherette and anthracite headliner I got - sort of a black/white theme in and out of the car- hope to get gray/polished subzeros to complement
