I Just finished ordering my new MINI Cooper today. What an ordeal, in Canada you cannot get the Sport Suspension Plus. I Autocross and plan on doing so with my new MINI so I had to special order the car to get the Sport Suspension Plus from the factory.

It should be pretty cool though, I had to pay $400 administration fee to make the order so I decided to make it look a little different. I ordered:

A yellow MINI cooper with white roof and the sport package and computer.
anthricite dash and door handles etc.

I special ordered red seats without the red doors and carpet. You can't normally get the red and I really like the tartan red so I ordered it to make the car a little unique. I also ordered the MINI cooper S base wheels from the factory because they are lighter than the regular cooper wheels.

Now the long waite, I had to trade in my current car now to secure the trade in value, I have a 2002 honda Civic SI-R and they are not selling very well so I wanted to do the trade so I wouldn't be stuck with two cars.

I will post many picture when it arrives to show how it turns out.

Colin
