My long search for a Mini Cooper S finally came to an end this week and today, I took delivery of my new Mini :clap:
2005 55 Mini Cooper S
Dark Silver Metallic
20k miles
Black mirrors and roof (custom chequered roof)
Black Bonnet Stripes
Chilli Pack
Aero Side Skirts
Darkened Glass
Panoramic Sunroof :nice:
Limited Slip Diff :wh:
Cockpit Chrono Pack
MFSW with Cruise Control
Armrest
Chrome Line Interior
Anthracite Trim
Boost Stereo with 6 CD Changer
Got a few little plans for it:
Aero grill or Aero front bumper
Refurb the wheels in anthracite
:clap:
(rubbish pics because camera battery was dying)

Looks pretty damn spotless. Do have a soft spot for the new mini's, think they look and they certainly drive really well. Although not sure i'd own one, perhaps i need a few more test drives
Btw, can i ask how what you paid for it?

That was me Ben, although i also got a Mini, infact pretty similar to above only Pre Facelift so i had money left over to make it as quick, if not faster than the VXR.

Love it though, drives like a go kart, so much fun
