Well yesterday I finally was able to go pick up my new MINI.:smile: It was the only Gold Mini they had. I had several people walk up to me saying how nice the car looked. My advisor was Dana Prato at Mini of Charleston. Paid only MRSP but since I got packages 123, chrome exhaust, chrome mirror caps, sunroof deflector, all 5 rubber mats, R90's, Zenons , Aero kit, and the rain sensing wipers the options cost a bit more so it was expensive. But it looks and handles great. I am now very happy to actually have one when I read all the info here on this site. :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile:

 

Congrats on your new delivery! Solid Gold certainly is a rare color; which color top did you get? I'd like to see what it looks like with the Aero, I don't think I've ever seen a solid gold w/aero!

We love pictures, have any to share?

Motor-On,
Ryan

 

Congrats on the car ... very awesome.

Gold with Aero + R90 .. I need to see this ... must looks sweet.
You might have the only such combo around

 

:smile: Sounds great. We need 2 see a pic of this!

 

MY Min has a gold top which does make it unigue and I plan to get pictures soon. It does look sweet, Aero kit + R90's and i retainded the chrome grilles on the front so it shines.:smile: :smile:

 

Also since I plan to keep it for a long time that is why I have the options I do. I am going to be happy for a long time...:smile:

 

Hey where are the pictures! It's been 3 hours!

I have never seen an all gold MINI with aero. You possibly have the only one...

 

Congrats!!!!! Sounds like a nice MC. Hmm, I see you said you got ALL 5 rubber mats. Looks like you missed this one :



That's 6 now! So where are the pics??? LOL.

I stand corrected I also got that one I forgot about the one below the boot box!

 

Congrats,I really like that gold colour,let us know how it is for showing dirt
BRG is very good at showing dirt,but then I get to wash him more.

 

Oh hahahaha, ok you got me . When I got my 2003 MC, I got the 4 rubber mats and the boot box mat, but not the one I posted cause it wasn't avaiable. The one in the boot is good. It keeps things from sliding around, but if you get it, you should definitely get a boot net !

Also, depending on how you plan on using the one I posted, you CAN cut it up and make it fit so that's its in your car all the time. That is, as it comes from the dealer, you put it in and remove it when you're not using it. I modified mine so it's in my car all the time. The only drawback right now is that I can't split the seats since I didn't want to slice the cover down the middle, potentially compromising the sturdiness of the cover.

This is what you're missing then:


See how a large Pizza fits perfectly in there!!!

Lot15 I also got a teflon coating added that needs re application ($125) at 6 month intervals, they gave me three free reapllications. two years worth. So the car is covered by their warranty now they will repaint if the paint gets damaged, and I will never have to wax my car. To me it was really a no brainer to get it.

 

I gave my team leader a ride and he was very impressed. He was suprised on what was inside because I had items compared to his caddy.:smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile:

 

Ya ,I have the same sort of thing,but as long as I don't strip it off,it's good for the 5 year warranty.Now I do use detailer/polish after washing all the time,at least once a week,but no waxing ever,:smile:Now I know some will not agree,and I
still wax my truck,buts it's hard enough keeping it clean at -30 without waxing

 

Lot15 Can you let me know what you use?

Congrats on the new MINI. Hey Octane Guy, how much does that mat cost?

 

I belive I paid $80 for it.:smile:

 

I buy mine through my MINI dealers detail guy ,on the side,gallon jugs,for
$25.00 Cnd.But I'm sure any good detail/polish will work well.Spend some time
here on NAM searching around,there is lots of info

 

Good Morning All...

With help for Hafid he resized my pics. Hope you like...

 

Here are the other two.

 

:smile::smile::smile:Very SWEETEnjoy!!!

 

Glad you like it... It was worth a 2 month wait.:smile: :smile:

 

I saw a SG Cooper when I picked up my PW. It truly is beautiful in person. Yours is the first I've seen with the Aero kit...Very striking!

Congrats!

 

Congrats, Aquasar! First all-Solid Gold MC I've seen with the aero kit, the sunroof deflector, and the R-90s! Very sweet! Have fun with your new baby!

:smile: Happy, happy motoring! :smile:

Aquasar,

You got the real full Italian Job Gold MC with full aerokit.
Those R90s are the 16" and look good. Not so heavy as the two piece 17" R90s so better match for the MC while looking great.
Nice combo and all for MSRP!
Very unique and sharp.
