My gallery has a few early pics before I've had a chance to do anything creative.
Mixdorfs, I had actually the same thing happen to me I ordered My LIB with the white 15" rotator wheels and they ordered the wrong ones. However when I picked up my car and noticed this. My MA talked to the sales manager and they wound up giving me 16" wheels with the run flats at no cost. I'm happy with the wheels "even though its seems like I'm washing them an awful lot" but the run flats I'll never do again.
I'm going to go with anthracite wheels with some winter treads pretty soon and hopefully that will mask alot of the brake dust.

Has anyone done they're stripes themselves or did you have mini do them?
Just wondering how much of a pain they are to do. I'm also considering putting the St. Andrews roof flag on. I install window film for a living so it's probably pretty easy, But I have not worked with vinyl before.
Thanks in advance

Digger, Looks sweet "Mini that is" I'm thinking of doing the black/anthracite rims myself. Do they stay clean looking longer? The white 16" I have now are great looking but man they show the brake dust horribly. I don't mind cleaning them but am getting tired of doing it every other day.
Thanks
Thanks
Yes they do
Thanks a bunch! & yes the black wheels stay very clean & you can't see a hint of anything on them unlike your white wheels which must be a nightmare to keep clean. I did put on the white bonnet stripes on our 03 MCS and they were quite easy to do. You just use soapy water and sqeagy (spelling?) out all the air bubbles and then go over them lightly with a hair dryer and you should be bubble free and good to go.
me too
I actually went to the dealer planning to get the BRG. Green, in general, is my favorite color. But as I looked at the different cars on the lot I found that the blues and the reds and the yellows were much more eye catching. I found myself drawn to them much more than the BRG. For me half the time it looked black and half the time it looked green. I liked it when it looked green, and I didn't like it when it looked black.
Next I ruled out the yellow. I really liked the way the mellow yellow cars looked, but again, generally, I don't like yellow, and I was worried I would get tired of it.
Finally I decided that I loved the LiB with the white roof.
Minis are just all too cool, I imagine that it is hard to go very wrong with one.
Just found out today that my car is scheduled for production next week!
woo hoo!!!
