Let's compile the sexy cabrios into one thread,

so If you don't mind, please show us your new R57 !

 

Now you have to admit, this Chilli Red Cabrio is Chilli Red Hot!

 

Red hot indeed!

How is the view in the rearview?
(i've heard people were most concerned about that)

 

Should be picking mine on Saturday. I'll share the fun after a few turns around the block.

Mattsenpai- I was able to check one out during a press tour and it's not that bad out the back. If the tops up and you can't see then, just put the top down, makes the view that much better!

 

Sunnygirl, how'd you get those wheels with your order? Sweet looking car!
I also ordered a Chili Red cabrio cooper S but I couldn't spec those wheels so I got the Black Bullets.
Congratulations on your new MINI!!

 

Those are the base no-frill 16" S-Winder wheels.... Nice Cabrio Sunnygirl!

 

I like the way the 2G body fits the cabrio.

Now, somebody post up a nice yella one!

 

Yep, no special order on the wheels...that's what came standard....

 

The answer is that the view is kinda restricted. You can actually see better IMHO with the top up. I would not say it overly concerns me, but it is something you will need to adjust to.

 

at your service! IC YELLOW - JCW Kit - S (for superfast!)

 

Hey swooper,

Is that the front breaker cooling i see in the lower grill? was that something you added or did the aero kit come with that?

sweet looking car by the way

Swooper - Looks GREAT!

We test drove MCSC at our MINI dealer last Saturday and it looked just like yours, even the interior with Auto. I'm sure there were some differences.

Enjoyed the test drive so much we went back to dealer and ordered CRB MCSC instead of CRB MCS Hardtop.

Can't wait for it to arrive!!!

 

There is no power outlet in the boot of the R57. Anyone know if the R52 had one?

Never mind. I found the outlet. It's mounted on the inside of the bumper sill (a couple of inches to the right of the left tail light). You cannot see it unless you stick your head inside the boot.

 

That's the same place the outlet was on the R52, give or take an inch or two.

Very, very sweet! ...but score -1 for top up evidence.

 

After 8 weeks and numerous false starts they newest arrival has finally been delivered. Let the motoring begin................

 

Hey the black bonnet stripes and black top on a red mini look terrific!
(....must be why I have the same color scheme....)

Gotta admit those wheels really look great too...and nice aero package.

Awesome MINIs, I too ordered the Chili Red, but its not ready yet.

How about those interiors? Show that off too!!

 

the jcw aero makes me melttt!

 

I picked up mine yesterday! I snapped a few with my normal camera and my phone. Included phone ones here (not best quality) until I transfer from my camera....

I got to ride with the top down for a few minutes before it rained.

 

Congrads man. You got your Convertible and an excellent color choice at that.

You're going to be so happy for weeks to come. Still puts a smile on my face when I get in and lower the top!

 

Congrats! one Q.. what is this? (Cabrio Owners) >> http://www.flickr.com/photos/dccxlix/3356156681/

 

I think that's the button to open the glove box.

 

That's correct!
