The official Indi Blue owners thread

TulsaMINI that is one sweet ride!
Here's mine, she's an o3 IB/W Cooper, bone stock! No upgrades, no mods. Lifer - meaning I'll own this til I die. I decided not to mod her when they retired the color as I have seen many a classic I would love to own that are bone stock also.
Oh I did do a mod I took the front plate holder off!

It must be said, of course, that Indi Blue is the most perfect blue of all. I mean, isn't that that the color they decided to show of to John Cooper himself??? I can just hear the conversation at Rover/BMW, "Alright guys, we need a blue...it must be in the finest traditions of Minis and it must turn heads across the planet!" And off they went to their little paint buckets. I believe Zeus and Aphrodite were also involved, but that's another story.
I confess that I have taken BMW promotional photos and even one of Frank Stephenson's original MINI concept drawings and Photoshopped them over to Indi Blue as a sign of my own personal devotion. And then there's my Indi Blue shrine. (see gallery)
Indi Blue under a glorious Texas sunset is truly amazing!!! You can see God smiling back at you and saying, "It's better reflected off Indi Blue, isn't it??

Finally....after nearly 3 years of waiting for my MINI, I finally have it and it's home!
Specs:
03' MCS
Indi Blue/Black
50,000 miles, with oil changed every 6 months
loaded specs minus Sat NAV and antrathic headliner
Premium, Sport, and Cold packages
Panther Black Leather
Anyway, HERE:
No holes for a license plate....and I'm not putting one there! Haha!
Dual Panaramic Sunroof!
Hope you like! I had to take out a $6k loan (car was $17k) and my parent's said NO MODDING until It's paid for! Insurence is running me $1,200/year. I'm planning on doing an ATLA CAI and short-throw for my b-day!
Edit* This is how I recieved the car, the guy's wife drove it and he is a car freak! He had a Z06 Vette, Thunderbird, and an old Porsche Carrera sitting in the drive way! This MCS is completly stock, and I forgot engine pics! :(
Edit* And if anyone doesn't know, I'm only 16, so this is quite an accomplishment! I finally get something for working my butt off for the past 2.5years of my life!
Motor On! I copied this from the new owner's thread, so you might have already seen it.

(Edit* I also modded my own "Indi Blue owners club" logo. TSR53 was kind enough to make the Indi Blue owners club, but I added my own little touch to it. If you would like it, please ask him before copying it. As you can see, I have an IB/B MCS...so I wanted a black roof/mirrors. Well, I added those and I also added the little spoiler which I love too).

Welcome, Juan! I was wondering when you'd pop in!
And Jerseygirl, I've seen Nittany on your website. I love your painted dash and have been wanting to do that for so long!
I <3 my Indi Blue baby!

I have a 2003 Indi Blue/White MCS that was built in September 2002. Like several others, I wanted an MCS in Indi Blue, but this wasn't available in the 2002 model. Therefore, I ordered my car towards the end of July 2002 and it was delivered to the dealer (Long Beach Mini in California) in the last week of October 2002. The car was built to my "specs", and I paid the sticker price. That was sweet, because all the other dealers at that time were getting a substantial premium.
There's not much that is stock on the car anymore, but the Indi Blue/White color pattern is still "true blue".

Thanks!
