Did your Mini come with Active Cruise control as seen by these two extra button on the steering wheel? Or did the dealer credit you for missing equipment?

She’s home now. Took a rolling shot of my wife driving it back from the detailer. Looks great in front of our Terraced Home

I don’t think that was an option on my package. I’ll check the build sheet. I know there was a sheet with delivered with all equipment from Mini and said delivery as ordered. We got a credit on the No prep
 
I should’ve taken advantage of the no prep. They did as good (or as bad) of a job as I had expected: DISO — Dealer-Installed Swirl Option. It would’ve taken me a couple of hours to do a better job than them, and maybe an extra few hours to perfect the already-wonderfully-finished factory paint (unblemished by the make-work project car wash bozos at the dealership), and then I would’ve coated it myself as I had already planned to do. Now I’ve got way more work correcting the paint before jeweling and coating it.

Precisely why I had it done elsewhere from the start. My guy is in Pierrefonds near Gouin/Chateau Pierrefonds. Now I can properly maintain the finish myself.

Lime green SwissTrax is new to me, that is an eyeful! He’s less than a km from me. Nice shop, good place to know. Mine is a museum by comparison (1960s house with a low-ceiling garage).

I’m prob going to install that flooring in my garage. In spring. I sorted started building my garage. Painted and installed lights. Got lazy with the rest I mean my wife said cool it garage is not mission critical
 
I started my garage renovation eight years ago and I’m still not halfway finished lol. Got a new workbench and shelving units installed a few weeks ago, an overhead storage rack going in next week, and a 60 gallon stationary compressor if it ever gets here from somewhere south of the Mason-Dixon line.

ETA: I likely won’t be installing flooring until I replace the cracked, spalled, buckling slab. Effing pyrite.
