The long wait came to an end this weekend when I finally took delivery of my new JCW Coupe. I took tons of pics and actually filmed the experience using my HD camcorder. Once I edit the film, I will post it to youTube for all to see. There is some "surprise" footage that I won't give away here but lets just say that some of it would have never been possible without "special" help from the Mini of Portland dealer! It is very cool and I can't wait to show you all! I wanted to capture the experience of taking delivery of a new Mini Coupe. For those who have already have the car - you know exactly what I am talking about.

Here are a few pics of the car which I might add has been getting TONS of attention everywhere I go (and even when it is just sitting in my driveway)! Of course all the attention has been positive

Congrats! Bet you are super glad to be motoring in your nice new ride! Can't wait to see your video. Bet it will be a blast

 

Right on! Congrats! Looking forward to seeing more.

 

Thanks guys. And congrads to you MR - your ride looks sweet as well!

I think my MCS knows that the gig is up ... his days are numbered!

 

Very cool. And I know exactly what you are talking about.

 

Nice car. I like that color combo.

Motor on!!

 

Not a huge fan of the Coupe but nice colour choice. Looks Great. Did you pic the JCW chili red interior?

 

Thanks

Yes I chose the red trim which matches the red accents on the steering wheel, shifter, and leather seats. All combined, the red and black colors really "pop" and tie in well with the car's red roof/mirrors. Here is a pic which shows the interior colors:

 

Your right. That interior does pop. I have the same interior in my car except with the CR/BLK top and red stripes. It looks awesome as well.

You picked the exact right interior.

I showed my GF your picture of the interior because that's the same combo that I picked out on mine. Thanks for sharing.

 

Very Nice! That will stand out in the crowd and scream.....

 

WHOA WAIT!! Are the inside of those headlight housings white or are my eyes playing tricks on me? If so that is cool as hell! Either way your Coupe is cool as hell. Great choice.

 

I noticed this too. I think it's an illusion. Love the car. The dealer in Scottsdale had the same color combo, but with black wheels () and leatherette black seats (). You did it right IMO. How much did that ride set you back and what year is your MCS?

 

Thanks for all the positive comments about the car. The headlight housing is white/silver and is an option you can choose when ordering the car. I think I had to get that in order to get the adaptive headlights. Anyway, glad you all like it

The car retailed in the 38k range but I was able to get a bit of a discount off that which definitely helped.

My MCS (which is now for sale) is a 2004 model and is looking for a good home. Let me know if you want to "adopt" it.

Cheers,
Greg

 

Now if you could only get those DAMN wheel arches painted body color........

 

That's cool! I knew they were offering black housings but didn't know they added white to the mix. Makes me wonder if they are doing other body colors as well now. I haven't been on the configurator since I ordered my Coupe.
