OK, SimpsonGI, here's another picture posted of the not yet delivered Mini. Word today was that the driving lights I ordered came in today. So I guess install is tomorrow. Hopefully the tint was done today. At any rate, the MA was saying Friday, maybe even Saturday for delivery. Sure seems like a long time to me.....

and some of the interior
here's a few more; and much to my surprise, the dealer added JCW logo door sills (I didn't complain!)
At some point down the line, I intend to add the JCW steering wheel, carbon fiber dash pieces, some carbon fiber exterior pieces and I'd like to retrofit the Chrome Line interior (I now regret not ordering it in the first place)

Oh, I believe the JCW door sills come as part of the JCW aero kit. I like the new wheels
. Very nice indeed, you have a great ride there, happy Motoring!

BTW, those floor mats are really cool. They sure stand out. OK, SimpsonGI, here's another picture posted of the not yet delivered Mini. Word today was that the driving lights I ordered came in today.

Well, that makes sense. I knew the dealer wouldn't be that nice!
Thanks for the kind words. I am very much enjoying the car.

Thanks. The glow around the floor mats is from the camera flash, they are just the "normal" Mini mats (not rubber). I wish they really looked like the pic - would be more interesting.

Call and ask to talk to anyone in Sales. At least at MINI of Mountain View they act like a team so any/all of them are happy to help with questions regardless of who did the order paperwork.
I asked this morning and they still have no released for transport confirmation (not that I really expect it yet). He was fine with, and even encouraged, me to call daily for updates.

So will I be the last person east of the continental divide to get their Mini in our week 26 group? MA says Monday, hopefully, due to reordering the switch (wrong color) for the driving lamps.
