    Seriously, when is MINI ever going to release a configurator without glitches? Here is what it built today, complete with a two-tone paint scheme.

    Subliminal message: buy wheel locks ;)

    Yup, and it also combined Kite Blue with Lightning Blue.

    But the real question is why does MINI continue to release configurators with obvious glitches? I've slowly realized that it must be intentional, because they do this with every release, for many years now.

    I bet those rotors give a softer ride than my original run flats!

    What's wrong with the pic? The windows are tinted deeper than allowed in CA.

    The real question here is why are you configuring MINIs when you just got your GP not that long ago? :confused5::devil:

    Awww Jeeze....

    Somewhere there is a MINI colorist in the design department tracking what gets thrown up on the configurator....

    Thanks a lot.... Next year we can expect to see a special edition.....

    The Benjamin Franklin Kite Blue with Lightning Blue.... With Kites and Lighting bolt "Stickers" all over the poor MINI.....:(

    Shades of mom's old '55 DeSoto. Except her's had wheels. And the wheels even had tires attached to them. Back then, 'two tone' was a real cool option.

    It's the new euro spec hover kit.

    You also won't need brake pad wear sensors since you can see the pads.

    That car is going to have no lateral grip. Although tire costs are at an all time low.

    No MM. Because I like the two colors together. Tires are a must however.

    How about a front seat delete kit? Saves weight!

    :cornut: Believe It Or Not: Not too very long ago there was this Huge Giant of a French Wrestler who stood well over 7ft tall(he had Giantism and died at a relatively young because of same) 'Andre the Giant' who, when he was home at his small town in France, drove a 1960s model Mini with the open sliding top(not the convertable). To accomodate his huge body, he drove with the front seats removed and his head and torso sticking up through the roof. The Gendarmes just gave him an understanding 'Wink and a Nod' as he was the area's hero. He'd wave and drive on. A good case for seat removal, no?:Thumbsup:
