Very nice! Yours is the first MINI I've seen with the "wood" interior. Did you order that with the car or is it aftermarket?

Congrats.

Did it come with a rifle rack in the back for the Red Ryder BB gun?

Congrats! Nice dash! I've got 1900 miles on mine and I still can't stop smiling! Soon my wife will be smiling just as much as her '06 PW/B is almost to the states. It's going to be a FUN summer.

Thanks, glad you like the dash. Here in Germany its a factory option. When you order the "wood", you also get dark grey door trim and center posts.

Is that cubby hole a option?, also is the rectangle next to it for a switch?, my 06 MCS does not have these?.

TIA

sorry about the delay in answering, there is a 9 hour time difference between us... The cubby hole came standard, great for glasses, ipod, keys etc. You're right, the little indentation to the left looks like a switch could go there but I really don't know what. Hmmm, maybe have to think about something for that. ipod hookup? Extra lights?
Cheers, Baldyralphie

Is this cubby hole only on Euro models?, like I said before my US 06 does not have one, and I don't remember any other MINI's on the dealer lot with them.
