hello!

On Thursday i ll pick up my new Mini Cooper diesel in Pepper white. Order photos attached.

However, i regret not ticking the exterior chrome line option. Now it will cost double
Ι am also pretty anxious for the 16" loop spoke wheels since i always like the cosmos 17" ones. My dealer persuaded me not to go with 17" inch wheels because they are too stiff and they also increase consumption. Any comments on that?

Happy to join the forum,

Wellcome Alex nice motor you have ordered

Very nice choice - pepper white/black is one of my favorite MINI color combos. And I'm so jealous that you Europeans can order the MINI diesels.

As for 16" vs 17" I think you made the right choice. For those MINI owners who live in countries/states that consider potholes to be a 'normal' driving surface the 17" runflats aren't so pleasant.

thank you for your replies.
To be honest roads in Greece are not the best. I hope they will look nice too..

I use 16 inch loops for my winter tyres and they look and handle great - you'll enjoy them!

Looks good Alex.

16's are ok, similar spec to mine - except colour.

Cheers
