Wickedgolf, I like the black headlight surrounds, where did you pick those up?

I'm glad that I like your car, I was a bit nervious about AB with black wheels since AB isn't really BLACK (I have black team dynamic wheels here waiting for my AB/AB.)

Check AMG6975's other thread - a tribute to AMG6975's old Solar Red mini, and a really nice addition to the AB.

I went in to the Cincinnati dealership ready to buy a Hyper Blue MCS that I had on hold but, as I was pulling into the parking lot, I saw an Astro Black MCS. So I asked about it. They had just gotten it in; it hadn't even been in service since getting off the truck. I didn't think twice about switching from the Hyper Blue to the Astro Black. Photos of my new 06 Astro Black MCS are in my gallery.

Welcome to the club. The same thing happened to me. Showed up at the dealer and saw one in the sunlight. Changed my mind on the spot.

Can you post a pic of your AB with the black wheels? I'm thinking of something like that for my MCS: black with a chrome lip...

Here's a great way to get that purty Astro Black paint nice and dirty: go to Death Valley.

See pics and the route at https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...71#post1275471.

LOVING the dark red beltline... consider maybe matching dark red GP mirrors? IMHO the a-pillar decals detract a bit though.

Add me to the club. I've had mine for 2 months now. Hate keeping it clean, but love the color when it is clean.

I'm officially joining the AB club! Went into the dealership to buy a CR or BRG Cooper and fell in love with the AB Checkmate sitting in the middle of the showroom. The color is so unique!

Hello from another proud owner of an Astro Black MCS JCW I don't think I'll ever lose the smile on my face now that I have one of my very own.

I knew I would one day own an AB Mini when I saw one visiting Luray Caverns in Virginia one day. I couldn't stop staring!

It is hands down the coolest color around
