Are you in the US? Where can you buy these? Thanks!

For my Mini, I got carbon fiber vinyl to overlay for the interior and gloss black vinyl to cover chrome headlight and taillight trims.

Christmas

Change to Union Jack mirror covers, rear view mirror cover, and side scuttles from my checkered ones. New full Union Jack roof decal; wainting to install, way too cold in Pittsburgh!

Well, technically this isn't for my R56, but my dad totally floored me with a watercolor he painted himself of my mini which he had framed.

Here's my actual mini:



Here's the watercolor he made for me:



Honestly, this blew me away!
I love it!

that watercolour is AWESOME.

My Mini got them a few weeks ago, but they will be installed over Christmas:
- JCW carbon fibre shift and ebrake handles
- RedLine Goods custom shifter and ebrake boots (black with white stripes)
- Outmotoring one touch sunroof module.

Hope to do the installs today.

http://www.minigenuineparts.co.uk/ they have the leather, or the leather/alcantara as the ones pictured. Keep in mind you pay a premium for sure. The drivers seat alone, shipped to the US cost me about 1800 US after exchange rate...not including Paypals fee for international transactaions

My '10 MCS was only a week old on Christmas. Still, she's got a Milltek SS Catback on the way as I had that on my '03 and loved the sound and appearance.

Do they have the airbags in them? If not does it throw up an error code?

What did my R56 get this Christmas?

ME, that's what... I picked it up on December 19th.

Seriously, I have only one other option planned for it, but that will need to to wait until a bit later; Sport Stripes, in white to match the roof. Other than that, I can't think of anything I'd want to add. But then, I'm still getting to know the car, and may have some more ideas later.

Cheers,

Spridget
