Ladies & Gentlemen I present you.........

Here he/she is. I need to name it...er..him/her. Anyway looking good at the museum. Hey maybe since these pic's were taken at the top of the Philly museum steps i'll call him ROCKY. What do you think?






I forgot the boot pic's. Rocky? has boot stripes. I'll try to get better interior shots for those of you who are considering the seven interior. IMO it looks incredible especially with the chrome interior. This car is simply awesome and I can see why thier owners are so enthralled with them. Thanks for looking!

Hey PromKing, that's an exact twin of the car I am picking up next month. the only difference is I am adding the white sunroof graphic. Post more pics to your gallery, por favour.

I especially like that you have the chrome grille & driving lights and I haven't ordered those yet. I'll probably buy somewhere else & install myself and seeing them on your car is good inspiration.

Thanks for the pictures, and congratulations on the awesome car.

Sweet

Did you consider the white sunroof decal? It helps to keep the interior a little cooler and seems to give the car a more integrated appearance making the roof look uniformly white.

I kinda like the sunroof as is for some reason? How transparent is the white decal?

BTW, I'm in baby mode with the car. I live in west Philly and park on the street. We at least have nice wide residential like streets but still it's out there. So I bought the car cover for it and my nieghbors think i'm nuts. I california dust him every time I put the cover on. I've already cleaned the rims twice in three days. I just think it's a shame when you see a dirty Mini, and you see alot of them in the city. I don't see me getting out of baby mode anytime soon.

The official MINI one is pretty opaque and doesn't let much light through (which is one of the reasons some people like it). There are also aftermarket versions which have a perforated design to let some light in.

I'm wondering when "baby mode" goes away. Had mine about 3 months and wash it at least once a week. It actually gets parked in my garage (unheard of.) Owned lots of cars and never treated any of them like this. Wife thinks I'm nuts. Pretty convinced it's not because this is a new car, it's a Mini thing.
Nice car. Congrats and welcome.

Baby mode never goes away I can assure you of that! My boyfriend still baby's his 04 like he just got it - and yes, I think he's nuts. Sweet but nuts

At least it is a good kind of nuts

Not quite! Let's just say it can get pretty cramped in the back of an 80's Pontiac T1000 hatch.

Nice ride! How do you like the large cup holder? Does it look out of place or get in the way?
