My cars final specs

After much debating, I finally decided what I want:

2005 MINI Cooper
chili red/ white roof
black leatherette
anthracite interior trim
cold weather package
xenon HID headlamps
dual pane panoramic sunroof

I should have it by April...

btw, happy new year

Your car sounds sweet... good choices, except... did you check out the hp on each of the color choices? Is CR truly the fastest color?

Godspeed.

Is there really a way to check the hp of the colors? lol. I would assume red is pretty quick.

CR/W fantastic choice! Your MCS sounds almost like my '04 MCS with the exception of the sunroof (Don't care for it) and cold weather/Xenons which I don't really need/want.

CR will guarantee you an increase of 30HP over any other MINI color

Yeah that and also the fact that it's a Cooper, not an S.

It that your final answer? I think white bonnet stripes add another 5hp.

Great choices, I'am waiting too. :smile:

Call me crazy, but I dislike the bonnet stripes with a passion. I go for the "clean" look I guess. At first I didn't even like the contrasting white roof because I thought it was busy looking, but that grew on me.
