MINI Model/Color Abbreviations Cheat Sheet
#26
Nice job with the color list and other abbreviations, biggripper. Its a great help to see what others have chosen, and colors are what I am still wrestling with at the moment (more like the past several months ).
While on the subject of colors, has anyone had any bad experiences with fade with any of the colors, especially in the South? My future MINI will usually be in a garage all day but that could change tomorrow.
Also, can anyone tell me if there any "rules" when creating a log in name?
thanks for your help,
john

I have owned 2 Chili Red MCS and 1 Pepper White Cooper under the blistering South Florida sun and have not had any problems with paint fading the cars live 24/7 in the outdoors. I have no garage or covered parking.
Keep the car polished/wax and you'll never have a problem. However, since the paint is water based (Due to EPA mandates that affect every new car in the market today), the paint is very soft and prone to chipping by road stones. I highly recommend a clear bra.
I'll post a pic of the front end of my '05 MCS later. Still, you won't even be able to see the clearbra

A friend of mine who is in the British car club loves it when I call my BRG Bavarian Racing Green.
It took a while to learn all these abreviations when I first started visiting this site. I've since sold my 03 BRG/B MCS and currently waiting for my 06 BRG/B MCS on LSD. Wait, that should be with LSD, not on.

I searched but the word "one" is automatically excluded from the search terms whenever you try to search for mini one.

basically, the entry level MINI model, available at 9995 British Pounds i believe... (dont remember if its 10,000 pounds or euros)

We're still fairly new to this, so I'll try to describe our MINI using these abbreviations to see if I've got it figured out.
Here's a description of Gromit:
05 MCC HO/B CVT #1 #2 #3 Black Bonnet Stripes(Did I miss an abbreviation for the stripes?)
How did I do?
Also, any abbreviations for the interior?
