Went into John Clarks yesterday and ordered a new cooper s from Sean. Really good service so far and can't wait for delivery in mid Sept.

Went for a dark silver colour with black roof/mirror caps, window tints and R108 alloys in matt black, chili pack, anthracite roof and piano black trim.

Really wasn't sure about the newer minis to begin with but they have grown on me! So heres hoping this will turn out as I want it too look and have as much fun driving it as I have with the current cooper :D

So. its only taken you almost 3 years to get used to the R56? I am sure you will not be disappointed ;)

ps - what are you doing with the 17" wheels/tyres that come with your chilli pack? I'll buy them if the price is right :smilewinkgrin:

Yea, I know its a long time...and I'm still not keen on some of them, but they can look awesome!

The tires are getting switched over to the new alloys so that it saves a bit of money! But if you were wanting just the wheels I'd happily sort something out :thumbs up:...would just be sitting about anyway!

Thanks, but I would only be after wheels with new tyres.

I thought the JCW wheels were 18" so you would have wheels & tyres available.

Ahh ok, no worries!

Nope, went for the R108 multi spoke alloys in matt black which are 17", so saving quite a bit by using the tires which come with the crown spoke alloys
