anybody else got any new pics of astro black mini's? I'm expecting mine in the next 2 weeks and want to see as many pics as possible.. so get out there and take some pictures!!! haha thanks

 

Hi:

Check my gallery for pics.

=R=

 

Finally got the time to add my Actual Size Decal and my NAM.Com Decal. The pictures show the bluish tinges of Astro black.

 

Nice..where do you live? My Astro should be here mid Feb! My gallery has mostly cars i turned into astro black - since there wasn't enough on the net

 

took one this morning after swapping side grilles/markers

 

Picked up on Dec 3rd. Rolledover 3K miles on way in to work this morning. Loving the look of my color combo. AB/S

 

still not even in production yet ... Time has never gone slower ... The factory closure sure has put a damper on my expectations.

 

At home, first wash

 

Some 'just washed' pics from today. Unfortunately, my efforts may be moot since it's suppose to rain tomorrow. Oh well...enjoy!

 

Hang in there Saakey! Try to stay in your happy place - just imagine what it will be like when you do go pick up your new toy. From there on out, it will be neverending euphoria!

 

I know, I know ... i just hate waiting

 

It does get easier! I know someone else saying that doesn't really help. I waited 3 yers to order, 3 months after ordering. It was so worth it!!!!

 

I'm feeling better already...just got this:

Hi Jason,

Thanks for your continued correspondence. I am happy to share any information
we have.

Congratulations, it looks like your baby started down the assembly line today!
We estimate that it will be finished on 2/1/2006.

That's great. Now if you ordered from one of Tate, Towson, or Sterling (guessing since in B-more) the boat trip is not so long, plus short delivery after at port. Took 10 days for me to take delivery after the boat set sail from Southampton.

 

yep, from Towson...I heard nothing but good things about those guys - plus it's the closest to me anyway.

 

The poor folks at 866askMINI... I called them almost daily!

Just picked up my ASTRO BLACK MCS yesterday, totally love the color!

 

Ok.. i added me in..even thow its not here yet.. lol

 

Just took a pic of my MINI at 3 days old. I totally love the look of the aero kit on AB.

 

Congrats!
Very nice...aero kit does look good ...You have any side shots?

 

I photoshopped some black stripes w/ white pinstripes. Yes? / No? - any help?

 

I happened to be at Cooper flags Friday and he showed me a picture of an AB with flat black stripes with a white outline and I thought it looked really cool so I took a piece of flat black home, we were in my wife's PW at the time, and let me tell you that flat black on the AB if downright mean looking. I'm ordering mine soon. If you are serious about this think about flat black as opposed to gloss black I promise it's sweet. Against the AB it's almost a deep greenish black that sets off against the AB perfectly. It will definetely bring out the blue in the AB that's for sure. It looks like a flat black 30s hot rod paint job that is all the rage right now.

 

I have to agree, i think the flat black woud look great!

 

I used to love the double stripes...but for some reason to me now they make the car
look dated - if you can have such a thing with these new cars. So to me it's not
different enough - it's the, been there, seen that so to speak. But thats just me...If you like it
that's what matters most
