Took Delivery

FINALLY took delivery on Monday.

Love everything on it, back up sensors, Sirrius, GPS, HD system, Alarm, just everything, but am getting the sunroof tinted to try and control that Texas sun.....

One. Sweet. MINI. Congrats! Love the chrome intake!

Seems like a lot of Texans (including myself) have been joining here lately. Nice to see that not everyone is driving an SUV in this part of the country.

Beautiful! Pretty similar to mine. How do you like the hyper aero kit? I love mine and think it looks sweet on yours as well. Congrats!

Good luck with it!!

Awesome, fantastic!! congratulations on the delivery.
Having the sun roof tinted is absolutely necessary in Texas, I did it and also ordered the stratosphere’s sun shades for added protection in August.

The more I keep seeing everyone’s “driving lights”, the more I want them……

Just returned from the tinters (sunroof), went with limo black and LOVE it, still can see the lovely blue sky and do not suffer the glare or heat I once did.
I strongly suggest going that route.

I never thought I'd go for the strawberry with whip cream topping look but I love it! what a beautiful color combination. hot lamps too

calling in sick a few days this week is definitely in order (assuming you work)
