Finally taking a few minutes to report what a great experience first 12K mi. has been in my '06 Pepper White. Thanks to various NAM regulars, (Octane Guy, who took pix, Meb, C4 et al) who have given me info. I've done MyMini Touring Exhaust (love it), Hsport 19mm rear sway (ditto), had the black bits painted pepper white at excellent So. Bay Mini's body & paint shop, & had the clear bra done by an independent guy whom I would recommend to anyone in So. Calif. I hope the pix are downloaded correctly - Got PW/black,piano dash and no regrets. After 12k mi., not one single rattle, squeak, windshield crack or negative issue. Car is light - holeys, no Sunroof, chirps the tires on 1st to 2nd shift, avg. between 28 & 31 mpg tank in, tank out. I love driving this car. Looking forward to upgrading tires, maybe GIAC or MTH software. Little else.

 

Looks great! I've got a similar specs to yours, Remus dual exhausts, 18mm H&R sway bar, Holeys, no sunroof Great fun to drive, not very fast but very agile!

 

Glad to hear you are enjoying it!

If you dont mind me asking, how much was the clear bra? I am interested in having one done, but I want to get a few prices first.

 

I didn't know there was a piano dash...it's sweet!

 

Really happy to hear that you are having a great time behind the wheel of your beautiful MINI!

I was glad to help you out with your questions and give you guidance during the initial decision stage. I knew you would love the car and I am glad it turned out that way so far.

My '05 MCS is 17 months old, and near the 16K mile mark with no issues to report. My MCS has been rock solid and extremely dependable!
