All black cooper S has arrived! Lots of pics

It's arrived!

I will let others do the reviews, I am more a picture person, but if you've had a mini before this will blow your socks off. Awesome car. Got some nice popping and banging from the exhaust. Happy Days.

Nice choice! Looks really, really nice and mean. I love the dash without the HUD to. Clean. Also think the red accent works really well. You already have the red tail lights.
Congratulations!!!

That's just plain sweet. I got the white silver (coming) but really like ome of the darker colors on this car. I didn't think I would ...... but

Drive it well.

DAMN!!! That red looks incredible with your interior!! Congrats!! What do you guys think, would the red interior line clash with the Volcano Orange exterior?

Nice looking car (and I'm not a black guy either). Really like those seats (the Pearl cloth right?) and the red accents.

Not sure how the red color line would go with Volcanic Orange exterior, but with the black it looks AWESOME! Good looking MINI. Black is hard to keep clean, but when it IS clean, it looks awesome!

Looks fantastic! Great pictures too.

I can't wait to start seeing these lowered, the design is just begging for a lower center of gravity to help offset that heavy looking lower front lip.

Edit: Are those 17" or 18" wheels?

It looks like you didn't go with the Harman Kardon audio upgrade. How do you like the base audio system?

It's pretty good, a lot better than my R55 Clubman. I am not really a driving with music kind of person especially with the exhaust popping and banging as a soundtrack :-)

Nice car. How do you like that interior compared to standard? And is it the "Leatherette/Cloth: Black Pearl" option?

Well done, all black really works for the F56, interior is excellent.

Good to hear it has a fine sports car soundtrack all built in.

Interior is fab, seats are super supportive and comfy although it takes a bit of bit twist of the body to get in because of the side bolsters. Quality is far superior to my old clubbie half leather seats.

Yep they are the Leatherette/Cloth: Black Pearl, well worth a tick in the options list :-)

Are the back seats also split with cloth/leather?
