There is an option for black c-pillars, if you do it yourself. That's what I did, I'm just waiting for my next paycheck to do the bumper bit. You can order stock black c-pillars from the dealer or pelican auto, installation takes like 5 mins for each piece and a torx screwdriver.

After 3 long months I am finally an official member of the Midnight Black Owners Club.
There are also more pictures in my gallery. It snowed yesterday before I picked it up, so theres salt everywhere, this weekend I'll wash that off and take some more and some better pics.

I'm joining the midnight black club too. I don't have great pics of my 2009 MC yet but it is what I have in the signature and I have a sunroof. Although I read someone asking about it being true black and I would have to say I think it is but only at a distance up close you can see the metalic and at least on cloudy days it actually looks kinda grey. I got mine around the 14th of January.

Well sign me up. I already have a Chili Red 2007 MCS, but I just ordered a 2009 JCW. I got to see the Midnight Black in person at the dealership, and I was really impressed. Very nice, deep black. Now I just have to wait the 2 months .. sigh.

Supertramp! Great name
Some folks that have their info in the signature ordered their Mini's through a dealer, so they had access to the "Where's My Baby" link in the ol.miniusa.com web site, which, if visited often, would display what stage of production the car was in (ordered, production, ect..).
Your MA might have this information on hand. I can't be 100% sure about that, but there should be some record regarding your car's life cycle. If that doesn't work you can try calling MINI and give them your VIN.

I was hoping that I could find the info somewhere on my mini.

I'm ordering a 2010 MCS this Saturday. I think I've settled on Midnight black. It was a tough decision between Midnight Black, Chili Red, Laser Blue, and Dark Silver. I like the black the best though. It looks so classy. I've never owned a black car so hopefully I don't regret my decision.

I have realized I need to go out and take better pictures, after looking at the quality of AGVMINI's photos...
At any rate, here's Noir, my new Midnight Black Metallic Cooper S.
PS
To those who say this is a true black... I am not sure what you guys are looking at, but after Klasse All in One Cleaner, Klasse Clearcoat Seal \ Protectant, and S100 Wax... in the sun, this color definitely has a brown metallic to it. It's no where near true black.
