I don't have the white turn signals, but the side markers look white to me, the outside plastic cover. When they come on then they look orange. How about the ones with the white turn signals? Do they look white when they come on?

The side repeaters are white either way on the S. They are yellow on the Cooper, but Maybe they are white if you order white turn signals. No matter what, they all flash yellow.

Ah, I thought I had seen a picture of an S with orange side blinkers. I stand corrected. The white blinker option is for front and back, then, as stated.

Very nice - my original MINI's color scheme!!! Love the JCW aero kit, it's really grown on me... As if I need yet another mod to do.
Congrats and nice SLK in the background as well.

Yes, the SLK is very nice, and I know my neighbor enjoys his car very much. The 2nd picture is the one where you can see our other cars in the background (the STI and the CR MCS).

Woops, looked like it was all your driveway.... Awesome collection though. The R53 looks really nice, love the black wheels.

Congratulations!

Great selection Minicooperwill! Great combination. If you don't have it already, get the JCW shift *** - one of the best oem products you'll enjoy each time you drive the car. I painted my spoiler pedestals to match the roof too.

New Addition

Well I must have been a good boy this year cause the Mrs. got me a new MINI for Christmas! 2007 MCS DS/B with the sport package, bonnet stripes, LSD, and sunroof. I LOVE THIS CAR! I have so much fun driving it and look forward to the commute to and from work now, as opposed to it before in my old car that I had to hope would get me there without breaking down. My wife loves it so much, she now wants to sell her car to get a new MC. MINIs sure are contagious... And now some photos:

SPUD - Great looking MCS! I got mine a few days before Christmas from myself! Our interiors are different but the exterior is nearly the same!

Here is mine

This is what happened with my wife when I got my MCS. Bought it on Saturday and the following Saturday went back and traded my wife's SUV in for her MC. We hit the pump maybe every 2 weeks but we do club events most weekends so sometimes hitting the pump once a week.

Make sure to tell the wife the combined savings in fuel usage you can go out on the town more (or save if that is what you want to do ).

Enjoy!

loadtoad - Nice looking MCS too! I had seen yours in a post earlier today and noticed the similarities.

trbokrt - The gas savings wont be much since she drives a scion xa currently, but luckly she doesnt need convincing. Now we just need to find a way to squeeze the extra money out for the payments. But like they say, "Where there's a will, there's a way..."

Great shot Jihsu

The LiB looks good.

What option did you go with for driving lights - are they Mini and dealer installed? They look sharp.

Yeah, MINI driving lights. Expensive, but I didn't want to deal with installing some myself
