MINI BLU BRIT

History:

I ordered my MINI with only one package. I thought the cold weather package was a must. All other options we ordered ala cart. My intention was to track this car so I only bought what I felt enhanced its performance.

After waiting 6 weeks my MINI came in with the wrong dash finish. I refused delivery & waited another 6 long weeks. My MINI was delivered to me on December 13 2005.

Here's what I got...
Xenon lights.
Fogs front & rear.
LSD.
CWP, cold weather package.
MFW, multi function wheel.
Yep that is it...
