I noticed the Goat too! That is a ride!

I am into the black thing too. I have toyed with the idea of putting a 1/2" to 1" black pinstripe under the chrome strip that runs along the bottom of the windows and tie that into a modified stripe on the hood...

are you going to chrome that strip, too?

This is one of the neatest DS MINI I've seen! I've seen oher 'grey' cars before, but this one really has that black and white illusion in photos. I wonder why?

I think koolmini has always regretted not getting an all black MCS in the first place

koolmini, your ride is looking so fantastic these days! Can't wait to see the transformation in person at the Dragon!

Very Nice Kool
As always...IMO the pics never do the car justice...
The car looks terrific up close and personal
