The new Sidewalk model offers a host of exclusive and additional options, and is available on the One, Cooper and Cooper S. It includes a choice of four paintwork colours, Malt Brown English Leather upholstery, 17'' Night Spoke light alloy wheels (http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/frame.php?file=car.php&carnum=3032#), bi-colour leather steering wheel and gear knob and special ‘Sidewalk’ interior trim, floor mats, badges and door inserts.

Additional MINI options that are standard on Sidewalk models are Automatic Stability Control and Traction (ASC+T), multifunction leather steering wheel, mirror caps in body colour, chrome line interior, passenger seat height adjustment, sports seats, storage compartment pack, front fog lamps, manual air conditioning, on board computer, interior light pack and white indicators.

Should a customer wish to specify these options on any other MINI Convertible, the cost of the extra kit would be approximately 25 per cent higher than if purchased as part of a standard package on the Sidewalk edition.

Its OK, a MINI is always one of my favourite rides and I suppose that this one is no different!

I like it. The name Sidewalk sounds weird though, but the car looks nice - especially in that beige color. The antenna will most likely spit a votex in your face when driving with the roof down, but who cares. It's cool.

Yeah.. that beige color looks great and fits the car.
The rims looked a bit weird though probably it has 7-strokes.

Those rims are probably optional anyway. You must be able to get the stock S rims... or the white ones.

I don't mind these rims anyway. Thy suit the black/beige color combo of the car, but they would probably look too aggressive if the car was red or something.

they look similar to the Copper S ones, they just have more colour combos, but the normal Copper S ones should be available to choose from...

Wow, that's really really funky. Minis are always cool, but crazy tan leathered seats, steering wheel and geartick is definitely cool.

The performance is pretty good too. Not too sure about the 'Sidewalk; name though.

they could be if you dont use the boot...:D

but hey, you could remove them, but i wouldnt in this car, just like that john cooper S thingy, its only got 2 seats, rear seats moved out because to get that anti-roll bar in, is it the anti-roll bar though...lol

thats aLOT better... less weight more rigidity... more fun to drive.. less sqeaky sounds when its gettin old...

Robbie
Dec 19, 2006, 1:26 PM
but the coupe is still the one that is more rigid...i think

It's gotta have backseats. It would look like a pick-up without them. Plus, it probably increases the safety with those two anti-roll bars.

Robbie

well yea, if they didnt have the back seats, it would look weird, and i dont think the roof will be like that if they removed the seats, iit would be totally different, but if they do, there are anti- roll bars on the front seats, but thats when the whole folding roof is going to change it into a very ugly car i imagine

Wow...I really like the look of this car. My favorite part of it is it's awesome interior. The colour of leather looks great, and all the nice details (exp: the piping on the seats) really make this interior almost upper-class. The outside is still typical Mini, although the colour makes it look even better and the dark wheels look very cool. Keep up the good work, Mini!
