Thank you! I have spent the last few days finding myself getting up earlier to take the long way to work every morning. I just love driving that car! I will photo shoot it soon to post some more pictures of it up. I just cleaned it today. Wash wax and interior. Minis really clean up nice!

Indi Blue

Greeting all! Picked up a 2003 Indi Blue S in February. Only 43k miles and nicely modded with extensive records. Glad to be in such elite company!

Original owner in CA did everything. H&R springs, competition rear sway bar, green stuff brake pads with slotted rotors. MiniMadness cold air intake, MiniMania intercooler, 15% pulley, Powership, stainless steel exhaust manifold with Magnaflow exhaust and Motegi wheels. Very clean inside with two tone leather seats. Checkered flag bonnett stripes I applied this summer to replace the standard white. Front bumper is pretty heavily chipped from debris but it is 9 years old.

Loving it.

Rufus is a good looking car! Welcome to the Indi Blue club!! We are the best in my opinion (but after all, I'm highly biased).

Just put some 17" Motegi SP10s on Melissa here, along with a set of Yokohama S.drives! I think she looks 10x better than stock now!

The ride on the H&R springs is quite stiff. Pennsylvania is not known for smooth roads and I have definitely memorized the potholes, recessed manhole covers and other road defects between home and work. They do, however, make for exceptional handling on the twisties when we're out with the local club!

Group buy for a CravenSpeed Dipstick in Blue

I was talking to the guys at Craven Speed to see if they did additional colors besides RED, like BLUE for their new Dipstick, and they said in a group buy that they could. They also said that they could possibly engrave it to say Indi Blue, Hyper Blue, or Electric Blue. Their dipstick is a little more $$ than a stock one, but much easier to read and slides in an out a ton better. We would need a total of 25 orders in one color for the 1st gens since they powder coat them to qualify and the price would be about $80 ($5 more than a RED one that does not have Indi Blue).

Lets see who wants a Blue Engraved Dipstick so we will stand out from the pack! PM me if you want to be added to the GB

P.S. you know these custom dipsticks give you an extra 50 HP...

6 so far

I was looking to get a new dip stick one day soon and saw this. Add me to that list.


While we're at it, please add me to the Indi Blue Owners list! Had the car for a year now but never knew this thread existed. Best color out there!

Indi Blue is the BEST color EVER!! Too Bad it is not available anymore. I will be not ordering any BLUE MINI if it can't be Indi Blue. Lookin at Chili Red of all things. Not bad but NOT Indi Blue. That sucks. Take care all you lucky folks that have the BEST!

How have I been around here this long, and just noticed this thread? I guess that's what more posting than lurking will do

Anyway, original owner of a 2003 Indi Blue/White MINI Cooper S, saying hello. I recently crossed the 123,456 mileage marker, and coming up on 10-years of ownership

FYI,
I gave up on this, since after months I could only get a few people interested in it. If you want one, Way Motor works has the red one on sale now.
