I know they seem to be classed as a "girls car", but after going to look at this one i fell in love with the noise from under the bonnet instantly :lol

I'd been the night before to look at one basically the same spec, but it's was a complete dog really, then this one popped up 6 months newer with less miles on the clock for only £100 more!

Picking it up on friday so i'll post some new pictures of it once i have it at home, heres a couple of pictures from the advert for now!

A bit of the spec:
Full leather
Xenon Headlights
Electric Windows and Mirrors
Chilli Pack
Visibility Pack (Automatic Lights, Automatic Wipers, Heated Front Windscreen and Day/Night Rear View Mirror) Interior Chrome Pack
Arm Rest (apparently Very Rare)
Anthracite Trim
Automatic Digital Climate Control
CD Player with iPod Connection
Cruise Control
Multi-function Steering Wheel
Also has the limited slip diff which alot of them didn't come with from factory!

Yeah it's just as tidy in the flesh! I was really surprised how tidy it was to be honest. This week seems to be going so slow though! Friday needs to hurry up

Just the cat back exhaust, it's a bit of a John Cooper Works replica one i think, cost abit less than the Milltek one but sounds just as good i think!

only girls cars to retards who love stereotyping things.

They look great, sound great.

Only thing I don't like are the seats as they seem to lack side support. Worse than mine.

They do look a bit flat but they felt fine on the test drive, just need to fatten up to fill the seats

Interior colour is quite common. but only imo right on a blue Mini

Other than that, looks great, and awesome spec. May I be cheeky enough to ask how much?! Gutted that overall value of these dropped by about £2k shortly after I bought mine

I really like the interior colour with the Grey, only thing i'm thinking of doing is getting the roof and mirrors done gloss black and removing the bonnet stripes.

I'm paying £5600 for this, which i think is decent value for the condition and spec it's got!

Slowly growing on me these new minis. I love the grey. Needs grey roof with the grey union jack.

But yeah nice buy Norcy.


Edit:- To add the picture.

Glad you got one eventually
The armrest isnt that rare just bloody expensive or I'd have one
Get a dave.f air box on it and the whine is a lot louder, there's a few for sale on minitorque I'm sure.
Also picked the best colour. Has it got runshits on still? If so ditch them and its a million times better.
Oh and get some aero grilles it suits them a lot better than the chrome.
