I had 8 weeks before I took delivery of Molly, I ordered her Floor Mats, Boot Mat, and Glovebox Organizer, but 6mo., man you are gonna' have a crazy wait if you start this early, just imo.

 

Just get stuff man. It will lessen the wait lol.

 

Walk - At least you have yours on order, that's half the battle. I am still waiting to order my JCW but also heard November for the first build slots.
I already have a growing list of aftermarket parts I want to order as well.

 

Ha I started buying and installing stuff my first day. There has only been a few months that I have not at least done one mod in the 2 years I have owned my MINI. Go for it. Plus you will have the parts when you get your MINI in.

 

As long as you have the extra $$$$$, it's never to early! Look at it this way: In December of 2009 I was shiped out back to Iraq, about 2 weeks into the deployment I decided to keep my MINI, and forget about buying the Lotus I was going to get. I started the search for the best parts that would work for me, to build the MINI into something that would embarass the Lotus. I started aquiring parts in March of '09. In December of 2010 I returned home to my MINI, and a garage full of parts and pices to make that idea come to life, I am still working on puting the car togeather, and now I really have something to be proud of. With all the planing and research that I put into making sure I chose the right parts for what I wanted the car to do, and how it is turning out, I am glad that I had the extra time to get everything I needed before I even started the project.

In case you are wondering heres a link to my ongoing build thread.

I have done that on all 3 of my deployments. Though the one I am on now is the 1st one with the MINI.
