Very good choice on the 07MCS instead of a 08MC for the same price. You got more options in the car for the same money & NO WAIT TIME.

These are custom leather/suede seats. The seller bought this mini new off a lot in Florida and said that the dealer had this added.

The show Overhaulin' frequently uses Bill Dunn Interiors. I tried to find a web site for them, but couldn't.

I did find their address:
2212 Lincoln Blvd
Santa Monica, CA, 90405

Try calling 411 for the number. It could be that they're so busy they don't need to list themselves anywhere. I'm sure there are other, less-famous options, but that came to mind.

Finally figured out how to make the pictures larger...Thanks Checkercoop.....now just to figure out what is missing....its like someone is trying to communicate "add more"...but what?
Nice car. I think it would look good to finish the stripes on the hood scoop instead of just having it on the top portion, finish the stripe on the boot handle (take a look at the JCW Challenge car and you'll see what I mean). Blue stripes on top would be nice too. Adding a white pinstripe on either side you your stripes would help widen the appearance of the car and is easy to do Lowering the car will help a LOT. Black out the reflectors on the wheel arches. The JCW exhaust pipes look very nice and come with the JCW tuning. I have the M7 grills which smooth out the front and take away the plastic look of the JCW kit - it's an easy install and not too expensive. Best of luck!

well as it is with how low the JCW aero kit hangs now, lowering could produce problems...any lower and it wont make it up the driveway, so at this point i'm not sure about that, but def. considered finishing the stipes with the blue on top as well as looking into the hood scoop...thanks!!

The upholstery warranty card that came with my mini is from: http://classicsofttrim.com/index.html. On their website you can select your state and it gives you locations. Hope this helps.

I think I saw that MINI at Dowtown MINI. They use a custom shop in Longwood to do some of their seats. Mike failed to mention the name though... There were others they looked awesome, as does yours by the way.

If you don't mind I would like to know the cost as well. It would be nice to know the value this brings to my mini. If you prefer feel free to PM me with the cost. Thanks!
