Well worth the wait. According to the dealer there was no manuals in the country when I ordered mine

Sure thing, but you will have to wait for a month as I'm currently waiting to board a plane to Canada

Just got back from 4 weeks in Canada & Alaska - BEAUTIFUL

Here are a few shots of the interior - fairly subdued with Burled Walnut & Oyster Trim & Dakota Leather.

Look what arrived today .....







I was really impressed with the price and delivery. I only ordered it 4 days ago whilst sitting at Sydney airport waiting for a flight home. Will give the car a detail on the weekend and attach the spoiler then.

Where in Alaska did you go? I went there 2 years ago. As you said beautiful! My favorite part was the whale watching and visiting some of the ice bergs at Tracy Arm icebergs.

We were on a 7 day cruise out of Vancouver which stopped at Juneau, Skagway, Glacier Bay and Ketchikan. We also took a small cruise from Ketchikan to the Misty Fjords. We were also absolutely blessed with fine weather.

I went to all the same places on a cruise out of Seattle! Did some hiking too. I definitely want to go back when the kids are a bit older so we can really get rugged and explore more of the interior.

BTW, diggin on the Mini!

Thanks Tboooe. The Mini rocks, it's a JCW Paceman (Cooper S with the turbo turned up a bit more). It's also a 6sp manual.

I also did some hiking at Lake Louise in the snow and ice which was challenging but rewarding. Fortunately / unfortunately I didn't come across any bears.

Thanks. I think it's because the silver brings out the lighter colours in the carbon weave.

Foam through a high pressure sprayer. First time just with water to get the bulk off. Next with foam and then leave for 10 mins. Clean off with water before foaming for second time and sponging. Final rinse. Dry with drying cloth and then apply gloss enhancer. Start to finish about 1hr. Currently doing this once a fortnight.

Much appreciated.

Was getting bored with the 'Red Lips', so I have changed the RimProTec to silver. The rim protector basically disappears and makes the wheels look a little bigger.
Just waiting on front splitter in CF coming from CNAutofans. Planning on painting upper sections to match car so that all is visible is the Blade underneath.

Love the wheels! Maybe cause I also choose these for mine. hahaha

What spoiler did you go with?

[Harlequin]

Car looks really good mate. Not usually a fan of Silver but your's looks awesome.

[Bricktrix]

Like the way this is going, especially now the red rim protectors have gone.

I too am interested in where you got the spoiler from.

I also have a silver GC with privacy glass and gloss black highlights, and you've done pretty much all the mods I've been thinking about.....so far I have gloss black M4 double slat grilles!
I was undecided on the rear spoiler but your pics may have just made my choice.......have you thought about a black roof wrap? I'm still 50/50 on it being too "chavvy" vs looking good...but I'm starting to edge towards going with it.

Are you considering the side skirt spoilers / fins on the underside? Another thing I've been toying with and if I did it, I'd have the M-sport sideskirts, with black decal, then body colour M-perf lower fins.....seems to finish off the look, rather than having the black cutting into the general outline? Just a personal preference obviously.

Then I'm torn between M4 rims or 19" ACS vIII's in black and silver.

The CF splitter came from CNAutofans in China $480USD delivered. Fitment is about 95% with just a little body colour showing in the corners where the top of it goes over the existing bumper. Ultimately this won't matter if I paint the top sections Silver.

I'm definitely considering the side blades, got a quote from BMW for nearly $900 which is Matt black so will need to be painted or wrapped in CF. Still looking on the web for a cheaper alternative. Future mod is conversion to 435 M-Performance exhaust. Waiting for a second hand one to show up. I already have the rear diffuser that I picked up off a fellow forum member.
