Thanks, I like it too (plus should be easier to keep visibly cleaner).

Well, I wish my experience was as good as yours. Don't ever pick up your car in the evening. The lighting was so poor that I couldn't see any problems with the repair.

The next morning, the poor quality of workmanship became aparent, and I just had to call back and complain. After initially voicing my displeasure, I received a call from MiniUSA, and they claim they are going to make it right. We'll see... the local dealer just came to me, and picked up my Clubbie for its second trip back.

PS All - My Bluetooth - voice command was solved on trip #3. It seems the headliner installer did not remove and exchange the Mic from the silver parts. As always seems the case - the Mic is not in Parts inventory. The Service person saved me a forth trip by 'borrowing' a mic from an inventory car. While they were installing the borrowed Mic I asked that the mic be installed on the American drivers side. The Mic fits either side with no changes and no drama.

So finally called Ask Mini yesterday, 3/11; they got the dealer on the phone and wallah...parts are in and appointment is made...dropping it off in about 10 days...
