Mini Countryman HUD

[Having A Barth]

I am looking for a bit of feedback on the OEM HUD which is available for the Mini Countryman.

After a week of rolling about in my car using the projector HUD my other half has decided that she needs something similar for her Countryman. I see Mini do supply an official aftermarket HUD which to me looks a bit clumsy once perched behind the steering wheel. Has anyone had one fitted?

My local Mini dealer in Abu Dhabi has just quoted me double the price of the part fitted than what it appears to cost in the UK which is pretty typical out here. Aside from that he informs me that the HUD only operates through the data of the mobile phone it is paired to. This means additional data costs just to run the HUD plus price of the part and fitting!

Thanks for all of the advice. Didn't go for the 'bolt on' in the end. Agree that the new Countryman HUD looks a lot better and at least it is built in.
