Laser Blue would really make me change my long time alliance with Chili Red.

Awesome!

Your car is gorgeous and I love your mats. Where did you get them and do they come in different colors?

Thanks for all your nice comments

The mats are John Cooper Works mats and only come in one colour, they are very, very nice You should be able to order them from your dealer..

Will put more photos in my gallery shortly - anyone that's waiting for a new MINI you are in for a treat, it is an incredible car!

What the...? The new MINI has the steering wheel on the wrong side?!

I've seen lots of people complaining about little tiny changes with the new car. Why didn't anyone mention this?!

Oh, you're in England? Ah...now I get it.

Love the white stripes - your car looks great!

Wow! The car looks amazing! I have a question for you though - in the first set of pictures, what's the last one of the nav screen showing? (Pardon my ignorance, but I've never used the Nav on any MINI.)

The car is in reverse with Park Distance control most likely.

Why would anyone need PDC on a Mini?
Never driven a Mini.. does it have big rear blind spots? Just wondering.

Thanks again everyone for your comments..

On the screen it shows where the obstacle is and how far away it is, it looks like a radar and goes from green to red getting closer to the picture of the MINI - very cool gadget
