So after 3 months of waiting, I was finally able to pick my cooper up. Its pretty basic: royal grey, silver roof/mirrors, auto, premium package, 16'in wheels, aux, alarm, extended warranty, lojack. Now I need to look into some after market mods I can do. Any suggestions? I bought it at South Bay Mini in Torrance and Jennifer and Freddie were both helpful and friendly. She gave me the alarm for cost because they sent me the wrong OTD price.

 

Freddie is my MA as well. Good guy. He has put up with my calls every week or so to see where my car is >_<

 

jtso23,

NICE looking MINI Nice color combo.

Now don't go starting to do mods

Sent you a pm.

Nice looking Cooper you've got there! Yay! Yay! I remember the first day picking mine up, it was so fun! The smile hasn't faded, even two years later!

 

I'm glad to see another South Bay '06 MINI. Mine is due in to SB in another couple weeks. I haven't talked to Freddie, but Jennifer has been awesome.

 

Very nice indeed. Congrats on your new toy.

Congrats! Nice car. I love the look of a Cooper!

Not a big change, but I think it would be great if you replaced the lens covers on the side turrn signals and the reflector in front of the wheel, with clear ones to get rid of the distracting orange. (put in amber bulbs). We did this on my car and I like it a lot.

 

The Royal Grey/Silver Roof and mirrors combo really looks sharp.

 

Wow, rg/s is a beautiful combo. Wowowowowow I like it. And the chrome grill - I'm not a chrome fan at all, but wow, it looks nice. Great choice with the 16 in wheels. That might be the nicest cooper I've seen.

Congrats on your new baby, jtso23! That is a beautiful combination, the RG/S! First one I've seen. More pix, please....especially would like to see the interior.

 

Congrats!!! Very Nice Cooper!!! Now stop reading this and go out and DRIVE IT!!!

 

nice ride!

 

If I am not mistaken, I saw your mini on the Roof of South Bay yesterday while we were checkin on ours. Lookin Good !!!

 

You are going to love that car. Don't baby it, but follow the recommended break in period.

 

that is a real nice color, really like it.

 

How about some window tints...Charcoal Gray 20% on the rears and 35% on the doors would look great on your Royal Grey/Silver Cooper

 

VERY Nice!

No red tinge as with the configurator. Was my 2nd Choice.

 

Thanks for all the comments! Jimbo, yes I am looking to get it tinted. I just need to find a good tint shop. Freddie said this guy George comes out to do their tints so I might get it done from him. Torrance is a little out of the way though, so I will look for a shop around the San Gabriel/Monterey Park area. I definitely won't baby it too much, just keeping it under 70 is hard to do. I'll try to post some more pics tomarrow!

 

Congrats... I LOVE the silver roof! its GREAT!
Happy motoring!

 

Absolutely great looking color! My PW/B MC is currently on order with South Bay and just seeing yours gets me all giddy. Were you able to get any freebies from them like mats?

 

Very nice looking Mini. We had toyed around with the idea of grey with chrome too but settled on the blue.

Enjoy!

 

No they didnt throw in any mats. I got a cup holder, but I dont know if those are included or not lol. Oh and a pack of mini breath mints hahaha.

 

Cup holder is included...

 

If you're looking for classy, you can't beat RG/S. I saw it for the first time the other day. Pics just don't do it service. Very beautiful color...

Congrats

 

Same color as my first. Royal Grey / Silver is all class. You will enjoy!
