Thanks for the pictures, funny to see it in RHD. Also, you had the sidewalk black wheels painted silver? Never saw that before.

2 of the round black plastic center caps are missing from my wife's Sidewalk. I ordered replacements but the clips that hold them on are way too big. Does anyone know where to get the center cap for this car?

Oh, so the cap part itself isn't replaceable? Have to buy the whole thing. Guess that's why the ones I bought don't fit.

Yes I painted the wheels silver. Makes them look bigger.

Well, it has been a long time since I visited here, and today we sold our baby, after 10 wonderful years and 91,600 miles.

Wife's 2007 Mini Cooper S Convertible SIDEWALK EDITION w/JCW on the way!

So my wife and I recently purchased 2010 Mini Cooper S Mayfair Edition - 27,000 miles as replacement car for middle daughter starting 2nd year college. Wife has so much fun driving car -- needed to drive for few days to make sure safe for daughter -- that she went on the hunt for her OWN MINI for garage -- I've never seen my wife act this way about any car before -- really shocking our kids (13/19/23). Her hunt quickly locked in on Cooper S SIDEWALK EDITION with MALT INTERIOR. I've hunted and hunted -- only found a few up for sale -- hunting whole U.S. Anyone have any idea on the number of these cars that were produced in 2007/2008 years?

This morning -- I just purchased surprise for her -- 2007 Mini Cooper S Convertible SIDEWALK EDITION in SPARKLING SILVER METALLIC (A60) with the LEDER ENGLISH/MALT BROWN (LNPR) interior she loves so much. I found what I think is going to be a very unique fun addition to the garage -- the one I purchased has factory installed (per MyMINIvin check) JOHN COOPER WORKS KIT (S3ALA) -- verified with pics of the car -- looks like full kit still in place (JCW exhaust; JCW supercharger; JCW head; JCW Program; JCW air intake).

So my question to the SIDEWALK Club Members -- how common was this combination ?

Not common but a lot of dealers loaded up the sidewalk as the showroom car. The LOTSC version got all the add ons but that was the end of 2008 era.

Add me to the list

So I was on here a while ago, but realize I never posted a pic, and thus never made the list. Pic above. The Toy is an 08 sparkling silver with malt interior cabrio, MCS, currently with 108k miles. I’ve put 70k on it since I got it 4 years ago. I recently added a CS 17% pulley, Alta CAI, and a Milltek cat back exhaust. It’s a blast! Oh, and if you haven’t tried a windscreen in the back seat (mine is the actual mini version, but I’m sure there are cheaper options), you don’t know what your missing. Fold it down for all the wind and noise you want, pop it up for highway driving to ease the load on the senses...

Sidewalk Logo -- need jpeg/vector/etc in higher resolution

Hunting anyone who has sidewalk logo in good resolution.

Working on having something extra once Terri's sidewalk is finished and ready for her.

Welcome

Congratulations! I've had mine since the beginning. It was our first MINI, and we've now owned four all together. Two have been long gone, and our other care is a 2016 Clubby. Best cars around.

Enjoy your Sidewalk. Though clearly dated, still feels like a new car to me!
