Hi we are now official mini owners and I felt I should prob introduce myself. I am Matt w from Bognor Regis and brought a mini for the miss's today! Its an awesome stage one 998, mini 30, with a flip paint finish. This forum confirmed the fact that we wanted a mini and helped me to choose, what I hope, is the right one! Cheers Guys.

I am not too sure about the bonnet but I really like the paint!! I am really worried about getting scratched though- there is no way I can get a touch up stick from Halfords! Cheers for the welcome.

Stunning paint.. Not 100% sure about the bonnet.. depends what style you want.. I would leave it though, as you never see them, and makes it stand out.

Whats it like to drive being 6.7ft? I am bang on 6ft and i am fine with loads of room!

Congrats on getting a Mini (Now the bug has bitten lol)

I only drove it around the block to test drive it- I really dont fit yet! I have got to get some seat extensions. Also size 14 feet make it hard to choose just one pedal at a time! Really have caught the bug- keep lookng out the window and seeing our Mini! Cheers for the warm welcome
