woops my bad.

 

Over on the Horizon Blue Owner's Club thread, we've discussed the fact that Horizon Blue needs an abbreviation, but HB is already used for Hyber Blue. We've come to the conclusion that Horizon Blue should be HZB or HzB. Please add this abbreviation to the list if this meets your approval. Thanks!

great thread! would of definately helped when i first bought my MINI!!

 

This list is great....I will try see if I can get my car right.

There are three things my clubman has that I am not seeing on the list.
l. Convenience Package
2. Steptronic Automatic Transmission
3. Anti-Theft Alarm System



MellyLow
08 MYw/Black MCC

 

I noticed for the packages, the list is missing the Checkmate package ('06 only). maybe "CK" or something.

 

Just to add some to the Aftermarket list:

RSD: Rear Seat Delete.
BPV: Bypass Valve.

That's all I can think of right now.

 

This is awesome for us new Mini owners!!!! Now all I have to do is figure out how to create an awesome, colorful signature line!

 

Got to get Interchange Yellow (IY) on the list of colors.

 

I've a 2009 Mini cooper S ....so what R ?? number is this?
and I can't find the new interchage yellow on the Mini cooper web site?

Thanks Ladyvalea....

 

Your 2009 S (assuming a hard top coupe) is an R56. Interchange Yellow is a convertible only color, so when you look around at MINIUSA, make sure you are peaking in the convertible sections.

 

I like it biggripper being a fng to this site and not knowing all the jargon it helps. I like It.

 

Great information here! This thread should be required reading for every new MINI owner...

 

After searching all around for a gallery of MINIs of different colors and not finding any that was complete and up-to-date, I figured I'd just compile a list of all the colors (from here) linked to searches on Flickr for easy browsing… enjoy!

Wow, MINIGLENN! That is cool!!!
Thanks!

 

hello,everyone

 

Very nice, thanks! Question: What about interior colors for upholstery and carpet?

 

Carpet color? I think there is only one color. Black.

 

...Right. I mostly meant interior color options, but IIRC, the "black" used to be a bit more grey than it is now, no?

 

Mellow yellow is also now a retired color, I am happy I got mine just before then

 

I believe SheldynCooper means that Mellow Yellow is no longer offered. Similar to some other colors that have been phased out of production.

 

FYI, Interchange Yellow, heretofore a convertible exclusive, is now offered on the Mini Cooper hardtop. It effectively replaces Oxygen Blue (no longer available) in the color palette.

 

Umm... the list is missing the GP's "Thunder Blue."

Not that you would have to tell people what color your GP is, but still. :D

 

New member to the forum and this thread is very educational - thanks.
Soooo I think my mini would post as "09 r55 DG/B JCW ". That sound about right?

 

The Dark Silver isn't exclusive to the S, right? I think it is available for the justa too.

 

Correct. Beginning with Model Year 2010, Dark Silver is available on Coopers. Someone else may be able to say exactly when the color became available date-wise.
