My MINI isn't due until August, so imagine my surprise when one arrived this morning. Unfortunately it was delivered by the postman and I have to paint it myself, but as it is only 4 inches long it shouldn't take too long. No doubt I will experience delays with the non-body colour roof...

This is the first tangible indication that I am in the ordering system, so I should be grateful for small (very) mercies.

Congratulations - now all we need are the obligatory pics and you'll be up and running

 

[MintMark]

Show us what you bought!

Arrived out of the blue from Mini themselves, not the dealer.

Will now no doubt make a hash of attaching pix.

Lovely just get the Volcanic orange paint out and not forgetting the black for roofs caps and wheels

I hope you have that black paint in stock and their is no delay

 

[MintMark]

That's awesome! And what a great gesture from mini.

Do the paint colours match what you've ordered?

 

[Iznik]

Correct colours. Midnight black plus white roof & stripes.

Way to shut down the VO..>

How awesome, not heard of that happening before. Lucky you ;-) Enjoy the painting!

 

[GoKart7]

Terrible choice of colour

 

[MiloMini]

I bet this paint job doesn't take as long as Oxford ...or run the risk of being shut down!

 

[GoKart7]

Or the order being cancelled!

At the risk of sounding stupid........why did they send you that?

 

[MiloMini]

has anyone else received one?!!!

 

[GoKart7]

Firstly I have no idea why they would send that

Secondly I haven't got one

 

[Washy]

Dint send me one either. All I got was an invite to the BMW M4 launch at the weekend.

Yeah Washy - the two just do not compare now do they?

I have no idea how they came to send it to me, but it is certainly reassuring that they know I have ordered a MINI and that it is black. I will forgive them for sending a Cooper S rather than a Cooper just in case they repeat the mistake later.

I didn't get one either..Oddly enough Jaguar sent me an invitation for a F type test drive, which I jumped on. Then when I arrived at home another invite for a 2 day track drive for $900 USD..
