Convertable?
S or non (Assuming S)?
Stick?
Cold climate (snow) or hot (no snow)
Do you want an ultimate cruiser or canyon carver?

Does everything have to be stock or can we use some of that 43k for aftermarket?

Do you want an extroverted Mini, Subdued yet classy, or Classic look?
(Chili red w/ white roof/stripes, dark silver w/black roof, BRG w/ tan leather and wood int?)

A little help will help us get closer to what you want

true...

cold weather, convert S, power hungry driver. I am JWC pkg and Sidewalk, sirius, upgraded sound all the way.

I suppose what I am really looking for is assistance in the outward appearance. Right now I have white bonnet's on racing green with UJ rear-view. I am planning fog lights after market and probably UJ door handles aftermarket. I am just not sold on the green nor the white bonnets.....

If you want the Sidewalk option, I'd go black... and all your options are taken care of...
I saw one at Morristown Mini this morning when I brought my MCS in for a new SRS sensor (it threw a light a week ago for a day)
has one on the floor.

well anyway, the black sidewalk looks great (if you like the tan/blk 2-tone interior, its really sharp.)

If you go away from the sidewalk, I'd go Chili Red, w/ black stripes and web spokes or R90 (anthracite)
(I've seen several like this motoring around town and they LOOK GRRREAT!)

Either option comes in well under $43K
And you should be Happy Motoring with wither option!

But that's my $0.0298 worth of opinion

but that won't be a convertible!

Umm....done, I ordered it tonight :-) they start production 9/1 and then another 8 weeks or so......BRG with black stripes -- I love it. It was 45K...well actually so far it was only 1K hehe

And you could have had an Elise for that kind of money

$43K to spend? I would probably get the same loaded '05 MCSc we bought in June, except get two of them. And then put the change back in the bank.

Congrats on your order, though ... that's going to be one sweet ride!

Check out my BRG s w/ black stripes. Of course you have to live in Philly to do it up right!( Go Birds!) You made a smart choice! Enjoy

Richreef -- I live in the eegle-fan area....but I am die hard 49er's !! LOL

Also into reef's - we have a 180 gallon reef (absolutly beutiful)

Sounds like you bought yourself a beuatiful car. Wanna adopt any of us???

hmm...does a mini come with you ?? LOL

I adopted 2 children from Russia, I am adopted out (the Mrs. would like one more...eek! )

Buy 2 MINIs!
1. MCS
2. MC
