Fairly immediately I decided to swap out the headunit for something with bluetooth as I don't think I could live without Spotify anymore.
I wanted something that looked sort of OEM and blended in well in the interior rather than the usual aftermarket blue and purple flashing lights carry on.
I looked at a few options, most of which have been covered by @Dammit over in the 911 build thread, and settled on a unit by Continental which is quite popular with Porsche and Mercedes owners apparently but has that sort of OEM- Euro style look about it.
Fitting was all fairly straightforward although I stupidly made the mistake of ordering the 24v version instead of the 12v version (didn't realise they did both) and had to send it back for an exchange. I also haven't gotten around to wiring it properly with a constant live supply as there's some difference between the wiring of the new stereo and the old one so I have to actually turn it on whenever I get into the car instead of it coming on automatically but it's not a big deal and I'll get around to it at some stage.
I ordered a set of standard Mini One side repeaters too as I much prefer the orange lenses instead of the clear ones that came fitted on the Cooper S. I've always thought clear lenses looked a bit Max Power even when they were factory fit.
Irritatingly I had a set of UK spec facelift rear lights ordered with orange indicator lenses to replace my Euro spec clears but they got lost in the mail so I'll have to try again on that art some stage soon.
