Has anyone found a source for touch up spray paint that isn't $40?

Thank you. I didn't know that. They remind me of four horseshoes.
kept a set of 16" "S Winders" with 205/55 (oversized) all seasons I had for Ms Pepper.
have a set of 17" Summer tires I can no longer use. So I put them in Marketplace.

Is Lightning Blue the same as ELECTRIC Blue? I'm in if it is. I have a 2012 Cooper S Vert.

Love it. And I think the blue makes it ride better, feel faster and attract smarter and more fun people.

Comments?

blues

think maybe electric is a little lighter than lightning.
Never the less, glad you are pleased with your convertible.
dare say I bought the R58 despite it being blue. Several colors I'd rather have.

I'm in. Got a 2012 MCS Vert - R57. It's some sort of blue and it's awesome.

So, do we have membership cards? Gear? A secret handshake?

I'm now the new owner of a well loved Lightning Blue + Silver 2008 R55 with 105,500mi on the clock. She has a lot of small (and some potentially LARGE) fixes she needs, but I'm determined to bring her back to vitality as I've wanted a Clubman from the first moment I saw it debuted.

It's nice to find kindred color loving spirits here!

Blue

The Lightning Blue is striking! (I was tempted to say electric as well but . . . )

Drive Hard. Drive Safe. Keep Grinning.

Hi I love your Mini it looks great, I've been working on my R58 and was replacing the chrome trim for black trim. Im just wondering how I can blacken out the belt line trim.
Thank you
