Thamks for all the replies. I look forward to reading and learning about the R56 and all the great ideas for mods and performance upgrades as they become available. Party On!

 

Thats my Merc Sprinter van. 30MPG FTW! i think the mini will almost fit. i think the oldschool one would for sure. :p

 

Woot! Congrats on your new R56!
May you and your MINI share many smiles & miles together.
Motor On!

 

That is BEAUTIFUL!!! Yellow was my 2nd choice, still wondering if I shoulda went with it. It just looks so fun!!

I like the silver wheels better than the black ones....

How much did the tint cost? That will be my first order of bidness.

 

That's a good looking Mini!

 

What a beauty - Congrats to you...

Yery Nice, It looks like the one I just ordered, Did you get any Interior upgrades? How do they look?

 

I went with the mellow yellow colorline and the piano black accent. I love the contrast between the two, the same as that between the body and my black roof and mirrors.

 

OP, Great MCS! A neo-classic. But you handle shouold be changed to something a little more family oriented.

Motor on...

 

Beautiful car OP! Looks the same as mine, except I have an MC. Well, I mean the MC I'll have by this weekend.

 

OMG! That's exactly what I ordered! You must have exceptional taste!

Do you have any pictures of the interior? I've been showing my friends from the "build your own mini" but it doesn't really show it verry well.

 

Here are a few shots from inside my car. Hope it gives you a good sense of what to expect when you get your car.

 

Nice, Thanks! You have auto AC and the multifunction too! Apart from the NAV I think we have the same car!

 

Pebble...is that you??!?!!? Getting a Mellow Yellow, eh??

 

Yup it's me! It was last time I checked anyway! My Chili Red 02 got totaled becase somebody didn't see me and caused a wreck. I'm hoping that Mellow Yellow will be a little more visable.

 

Well it is that!!! Sorry to hear about your '02...I had an "incident" in my '03 but it got repaired. I must say I am enjoying my new R56 MINI (daughter got the '03) very much!!! Since I live around the corner from a dealership, I must say the ML's look amazing!!

 

From the posts on here and over at Mini2, I don't think the mellow yellow ranks high on the list of most popular tint. However, I think it looks quite good and much better than those bright yellow Fords and Pontiacs.

Maybe they're cousins. I debated spending the money on the navigation. But I've been very pleased with it and I like how it fills up the speedo. Because of that and the fact I'm new to the Mini world, the speedo is the perfect size for me.
