It's good to have you and we look forward to attempting to answer your questions, or sometimes just talking about other random stuff that is completely unrelated to your question...

Any pics? We love pics around here. Here.. lemme share a pic of my MINI with you...

*digs through paperwork on her car to find out what % tint she has, since it came on the car, and she didn't specifically request it... *

Thanks! I really love it. The windows are 35%, darkest legally allowed by law here. My windshield is not tinted, but all the other windows on the car, including the sunroof, are tinted to the same level. The black on my roof graphic isn't part of the vinyl. That's the window glass peeking through.

By request...a couple pics

Here are a couple of shots, the 964 is in the bacl/fore ground. And a question...the seats are a darkish gray they appear to be pleather but have the lumbar adjust. Does that mean they are leather? Is this the Panther Black?

Thanks...

Pics will help us tell you what you have, but it does sound like it might be panther black. I haven't seen it up close and personal myself, but someone else here might be able to help you.

Regardless, NICE RIDE! I love those wheels and Indi Blue is one of my FAVORITE colors. I wish they still made it... One of the first MINIs I ever saw looked just like yours. Indi blue with a black roof. Loved it then, and I still love it today.

Welcome! I also have a 2004 Indi Blue MCS, but I've got a white roof. Does yours have a black roof? Looks sweet!
