Thanks for the pictures. They are kinda jumbo sized. Too large for my 20" monitor!

I like best the anthracite headliner, the seat fabric and the driver's side window shade.

That's alot of chrome and red on the dash/and on the interior! Red lovers will be happy.

A real beauty, kcollins! Great colors. Enjoy!

A few q's if you don't mind :smile: :
* Why does MINI not use Anthracite-colored, console downtubes?
** Is it a bit darker inside with the (gorgeous) Anthracite headliner?
*** Is it still possible to order the Anthracite headliner? => on a JAN build??

According to MINI the Headliner will not be available after Sept in the US. Try to help us bring it back here:

Well i'm still trying to gather how people want to go along this, but the community seems to be letting me down. I guess a good ol call AND e-mail to MINIUSA would be the best way to get their attention. A few hundred calls should be enough

WOW!!

My '04 CR MCS is drooling with jealousy! Your CR, chrome trimmed dash looks incredible! I also am really stricken by the new healights. I thought the appearance would not be much different from the '04s but it really looks nice, definately an eye catcher.

You have a beautiful baby- enjoy!

Just get the MINI

Boge, hey just get the MINI. There are people standing in line to get a MINI and you are wondering if you really want it or not

Sure it will cost more than a cheap little commuter car, but a big part of life is not being practicle and having fun and still be practicle. Just go for it, you will be glad you did

I only wonder if I'm making a good decision or if I should play it "better safe than sorry" and go for a Metro or something that is more practical and cheaper.

Yeah - if they are delivering 05's, why isn't the !@#$% manual on the OL website?

Great car Kcollins. I'm ordering an 05 MCS and was told the JCW was not yet available...looks like you got one...did you have any trouble getting it? Also, could you elaborate on the half leather option...this is the first I've heard of it.

Thanks, Deryk
