Here is a picture of my car. Just got it a week ago. No mods.... yet

I have a 2009 Cooper Standard - LiB/White. Getting ready to trade for my new 2012 PW/B MCS, though...

 

Just picked up my new Baby last week.

2012 R56 w/ my first Manual tranny and CW, TP, SP, comfort access.

 

I have been waiting for this thread to show up. I knew there had to be a group for us. Here is my 2008 Cooper. I asked my daughter, what color Mini should daddy get? She said Blue with stripes, so here it is!

 

That is quite the tricked out base-cooper. The JCW Challenge wheels, scuttles, and xenon lights really make that a classy little car. I actually prefer the hood without the scoop.

Now that winter's rolling in, make sure you find a long flat parking lot and adjust the xenon's, from the factory they're angled way too far down, if you can get them perfectly level visibility will be 100x better at night (and you still won't bother anyone). All you need is a long allen wrench. I just got a loaner car and was reminded of how out of whack they are from the factory.

 

Thank you very much. I bought this car with 37000 miles on it, now I have 58000 miles, and I was shocked to see all the options that were in it. It has everything less Nav. When I took it in under warranty, the dealer happened to be the one that sold it the first time and told me this car sold for $29900. I was shocked. The light from the headlamps is fantastic as is. Maybe someone tweaked them before. I put the driving lights on because I like the look, but they only give me a little more light around the edges, than the xenons. To find this one with even the rear fog light shocked me. I was thinking of stepping up to a Clubman, but they don't seem to be optioned the same way this one is, so I'm going to keep it until the rear seat room start stunting my son's growth, then I'll move up.

 

I have to say thank you. I adjusted the headlights up last night and I think they shine until the curvature of the earth drops off. Amazing difference. Thank you!

 

Glad to help I know I was amazed after giving them a little tweak.

 

My house sits 300 feet of the road. My neighbor across the street is about 200 feet back off the road. From my driveway, I can hit the trees behind his house!

 

Here's my Lightning Blue 2012! Picked up on 12/12/11

 

looks really sharp
It's good to see Mini's brought the color back.

 

Comet made it to the dealer yesterday (12/15/11).

Here he is:


The dealer has to add some accessories. So Comet will look sort of like this when I get him :


So am I in?

 

Thanks!

Of course you're in! Enjoy!

Just noticed our cars are really similar. Mine is LiB with black mirrors/roof, black bonnet stripes also automatic, will be adding the UJ scuttles soon too. Post some pics of your interior when you can, would love to see the english oak. Mine was also built 10/11!

 

Here is a picture the dealer took of the english oak. It is not great. Sadly my mirror caps can't be done until Monday so I won't get it until then.

Cool that our cars are so close.

 

From what I can see, very nice!

Happy motoring!

 

Here are pictures of Comet.









I love this car.

 

Very nice!!! Too bad we're so far apart!

 

I agree. Very cool cars. I almost went with the black roof/mirrors and stripes, but then opted for the white. Just didn't like the mirrors white so made them blue. I also considered the UJ on the roof, but decided against that. A little too flashy.

Enjoy your very awesome MINI.

 

How do I join!

 

I think you just did!

 

Here are a couple of mine

 

Welcome Chiguy!

 

Any new LiB owners out there?

 

I've got one!

 

Congrats. Pictures please.
