>>hooray!!!!! I'm in the paint shop !!!!!

What is your estimated production date tooblue? When I checked yesterday, I was still status 150...I hadn't even hit the body shop yet.

 

hi airwolf, my estimated production date is 3/28 though ASK-MINI told me assembly would
likely be complete 3/29!!!!!!

 

Anyone with a prod date of 04/04/03 have a VIN yet?

 

>>Anyone with a prod date of 04/04/03 have a VIN yet?

Never mind! With my obsessive compulsive behavior at full tilt I checked back and I have a VIN!

 

Looks like this is the place. Ordered on March 6 and got a production number the next day. 2003 MC in Chili Red with white (incl wheels), anthracite, kaleido blk/blk cloth, premium & sport packages, harmon/kardon, and zenon lights. The Estimated Production Date has always been 4/4/03. Today our status went to Scheduled for Production with a VIN showing up also :smile: Now the problem is the same as everybody else............what to do for the next two months? I guess I will be learning more about shipping and the Panama Canal than I ever hoped to in school.

I do I do! :smile:

 

We have a Vin number now! But one thing I noticed is that our Xenon headlights are not listed in the options!! I sent an e-mail to MINI but I don't know what they will do about it......
Should I call the dealer??

est. build date is 4/4....there's still time to correct this...I hope!

BRG, white top, moonroof, sport and cold weather package, Xenons (I hope!)....

 

I ordered xenon lights and they are listed last in the Factory Ordered Options. I would contact your dealer since they are probably the only ones that could make the change with MINI.

 

Anyone else in this distinguished group of May hopefuls start ordering aftermarket, factory add-ons, or "toys" for their car yet? I have...
Euro shelf & Moss Skid Plate.
The anticipation is grueling!

 

O.K.!
Lisa from the MINI OwnersLounge wrote back to me confirming that the Xenons are on the order. Very nice e-mail and prompt attention.......

Happy Boy again

Jim

Skid plate / Bonnet, xenon lights and door handle protection film / Driving lamps / Euro shelf / Armrest / Hot pocket (under AC controls) / Boot box / Custom striping

...to name a few

 

Just the skid plate so far. But man, I'm wanting that pulley but I'll wait a while on that one. Someday I would also like to get a hold of some MC 5 spoke wheels.

Oh, and the brake light mod.

I just wanted to let everyone know that Brian "classicmini" is great to deal with and is selling many parts due to dealer deals$$$ (alarm, euro shelf etc.)
Many kudos to classicmini!

 

hey all,

i thought i read something that the newer build cars come with a
lighter weight plastic plate that protects the power steering fan...

i'll search for it.

---

i plan on getting the rally lights and the euro shelf
so far...

maybe the silver union jack...but with current events...maybe not

 

Hello Fellow Minians
I finally ordered my Mini form Brian Harris Mini(No wait no Markup) received a prod# 2hrs later with Prod date of 8 Apr 03. Deliv-mid May 03. I was on a waiting list @ Long Beach Mini since Aug 02. :evil: Finally I was fed-up and found the above mentioned dealer. (Lindsey was great) She (the Mini) will be DrkS/DrkS, Sprt pkg/Aero kit/ HK Audio. Don't know what to call her yet, but the plate will express what all "Mini Drivers" feel. (no pun towards the actress) As soon as I get 1200miles on her I will get the pulley, NRP or QS exhaust, BMP or Mini-Madness intake, & LSD.
I wanna keep her lyt as possible for speed an gas milage. Cali fuel isn't cheap!

Planning on rally lights, Helix exhaust, Magnacor wires, rally stripes, lighter wheels and Cooper Cobra tires & euro shelf. If I can scrape together the dough, I'll also do the aero kit.

 

That would be good if you found info on the plate dot-scott. I would think a plastic plate the same size as the steel plate would work just as well. Just put in a few creased edges and that should keep the plastic from warping.

Welcome to the club Minian. :smile:

Hey, hey, hey, I've just been moved to "Scheduled for production"! No VIN or date yet, but I'm definately in the pipeline.

I know- I call ask-mini every day and check the WW website. this may be a dumb question- but what does the skid plate do?

I was thinking about ordering the green brake pads....

 

As for extras (aftermarket) I plan on getting a hot pocket for the inside..... and 16x6.5" lightweight wheels and race tires for auto-x... before the car even arrives.... after that I plan to go for a cat back exhaust system... and a K&N or Green filter replacement... oh and when the brake pads need changing I will go for some sort of Carbon pad that is low dust... (performance friction, Green Stuff ect)

Thankfully this MINI is destined for STOCK class auto-x otherwise I would have a VERY VERY long list of suspension mods to dream about.... but thats what my other project car is for.... (1970 Datsun 510 with all the goodies coil overs, konis, internal block work, ect ect ect.... 2 years in the making so far!!! yes I am broke)

 

OK All Right!

Scheduled for Production in Week 15

Look to be sailing on the Trinadad into Baltimore....

Velvet Red, White Bits (Inc. 15 Inch 7 Hole)
Black/Balck Cloth
Anthro
Premium Pkg
Spoiled
Foggers

 

As of late last night I am now scheduled for production. I also have a VIN so hopefully it will be booked on a ship soon so I can find out which ship it will be on.

I'll add you to the list tonight OBXMini. :smile:

 

Whoo-hooo!!!! My IB-MCS emerged from the MINI "birth canal" today and is now awaiting transport.

Ironically, I should receive my MINI exactly 9 months after I put down my deposit.

 

Vin just popped up with a prod date of 4/11/03

 

Hi! Me too I am now scheduld for a production of 3/28 (thats today!!!!) and production number 33483TD67742...thats is picking up the pace and my house I think sold which leaves the suv to sell.. :smile: :smile: :smile:
