Hey that is my car to the Tee.

 

Nice dbelleperc!!
Any pics??
Also, is Navigation an option on minis??'
How much is the new option for upgraded enigne, suspension etc...?? Does the kit also include better brakes??

 

Mansour,
I don't believe dbelleperc has taken delivery yet.
Navigation is an option, we both ordered it.
The John Cooper Works package adds $4500. for parts and an additional 10 hours for install. It adds 40 hp and doesn't void the warranty.
Check out <a href="http://www.miniusa.com" target="_blank">www.miniusa.com</a> and click on Build your Own. You can spec it out to your own personal preference and the picture changes accordingly. It is pretty cool.

 

A friend of mine just had his Mini Cooper S bought back due to multiple problems. A few starter motors, oil in the coolant (cylinder head porosity) which they tried to remedy by replacing the head gasket a few times, no start and stalling issues. It's a shame, the car was a blast to drive.

 

KPV - I tried miniusa.com but when I click on "enter mini usa" both my browsers tell me there is a problem with the java script on that page!! do you hav the direct link to "build your own"??

I'll get the pictures posted up in about a week when I drive in back from Texas.

 

I think the silver is a great choice. Black cars always look beautifull but I think it loses the mini's lines.

 

If you got the checkered flag on the roof I vote for black; otherwise I like the silver. A 100% black mini with tinted windows reminds me of a cockroach.

 

That is what I was thinking also, a black Mini with white roof and mirrors, white bonnet stripes, checkered flag roof and white wheels. Other wise get the silver.

ahhhhhh, man. I want a mini now. I think the silver looks good, but its a little boring. And since you have the Black Turbo. I think it would be badass to have an all Black Mini next to it in the Garage. White wheels would be extremley cool. I think the mini is the only car i would put white wheels on. Get the Black one. And make sure you get the darkest tint possible all around.

 

I had a red one with the US flag on the roof, loved it. It got a lot of attention. Then got a grey one with a black roof and sunroof. I did not like the black roof personally...

I vote silver, they look great in that color...

Red with white stripes all the way
