Here is my Build sheet

So to place my order this is what I came up with. I have an 07 R56 S, however I wasnt able to customize it as I had no patience and it was sitting in the showroom, very well equipped. So heres my second time buying a MINI, first chance to build one. IS THERE ANYTHING YOU GUYS/LADIES FEEL I MAY BE FORGETTING? I did not add sport pack because after market will take car of that. I already have a CAI, a turbo back exhaust 3in. And a navigon 7000 with radar camera alert and blue tooth. PS sorry guys, I could not make the image larger, You have to zoom in.

Looks like you have a real nice MINI made up

Just curious how much is the dealer charging to install your JCW Aero Kit?

I would suggest having the alarm installed at the factory. My dealer told me it would end up costing more in labor to have it installed after.
Have fun!

Nice! Looks good! Can't wait to see pics!

For the Alarm install, order it through Morristown mini and install it yourself. Then bring it in to the dealer for reprogramming.Motoringfile.com has a DIY PDF for it and all they do is install the sensors to the prewired connectors and reprogram the computer...

Why not just go all out and get the jcw mini, it sounds like you like performance with the LSD and JCW aero kit and what not. I would just throw in the JCW car as the base model and call it a day!!!!!!

Yes the alarm for $250 is the parts and the alarm for $500 is having it installed at the factory for you. I'm actually on motoringfile right now looking for the pdf....might be a DIY for me.

You should not get the sunroof, it ads about 60 lbs.

Looks exactly like mine! Good thing your saving your money and getting the base rims...there are tons of aftermarket rims that look much better

How about white bonnet stripes? Actually the aftermarket has some nice designs too..

Standard might work better for CR/W.

Get the rear fogs.

Rear Fogs are a must, especially with the jcw kit.

Toggle bank is out of sight, but everytime you see the back of your car, you have to see the ugly red reflectors.

I have a CR/W and am so glad from a looks POV that I didn't get the rear fogs. They clutter up the rear valence.

Your order looks great. You've had a MINI so you know what you want and don't want.

I have to have the roof glass because I would not be able to see the traffic lights here in Germany. I actually look through the roof to see them I have the roof windows on my R56 S that I own now and I actually like them. The hard top I think Id feel a little coffin like as I am 6 ft tall.

I thought about it, but all you get is ecu tune, suspension, aero and exhaust and an airbox....Did I leave anything out? I have full 3in exhaust ALTA, and a CAI from alta as well. I own an 12 month old R56 so I will recycle the parts.
