Thumbs up Me too.......

Hi all,

we bought our first new Mini in March from Park Lane dealership in Mayfair, London. Got a good deal on an ex-demo 6 month old Astro Black with Silver roof and pillars Clubbie Cooper D. This included:
Additional Decor Rings, Basic Bluetooth with USB, C-pillars in silver, CHILI Pack, Chrome-Line Exterior, Chrome-Line Interior, Colour Line Dark Grey, Front Centre Arm Rest, Heated Mirrors/Washer Jets, Interior Trim Piano Black, Multi-func. Steering Whl, Panoramic Glass Sunroof, Park Distance Control, Roof & Mirror Caps Silver, Smoker Pack

So far only had two real disappointments:
1 ~ very annoying squeak from rear seats - which after playing with seats on a number of occasions has disappeared.
2 ~ driving lights - dipped & full beam are very poor for such a car! Yet to get levels checked but expect will be upgrading bulbs and probably getting spots too! Just wish the car had xenon lights.

So far only mods have been replacing the awful black plastic side scuttles and orange repeaters with black jack ones and clear lens repeaters courtesy of
http://www.newministuff.com/new/shop...uctshow&id=530.

Wish list so far includes:
1 ~ JCW GP R107 18inch alloys
2 ~ Spots
3 ~ tinted rear and side windows

Looking forward to enjoying this site and getting to know more and more clubbers and other Mini owners.

Hello D & Y welcome to MCUK

I know what you mean about the lights on full beam or dipped are not as good as they could be,its something I need to get looked at in my clubbie as well,dont drive it much at night time,so I only remember about the lights if i drive in the dark,the beam of the lights dont seem to go that far ahead
