Anyone here own this car?

Shown at 3:53 on this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTjFO...eature=related

The pepper white Mini with the black top. I hoping to see a pic from the front. Im trying to decide if I should paint the flares on my soon to be Mini, which has a black top. I've seen some awsome all white ones, but none with a black top.

Thanks in advance.

I hear you. I got a whole plan for the this Mini and before I commit to $ to get this done I want to be sure. I guess if I dont like it I can alway take the flares off my wifes Mini! but she might never speak to me again.

Just checked out your site, I might be hitting you up on some of those mods. Can you send me some pics of that pepper white mcs with the tinted front headlights? the pic on your site is small and only of the front. Im hoping to see a side view.

BTW will you be doing the gas caps in satin black anytime soon?

I love the look.

Some background....When we, my wife and I, bought her Mini, an 05 MCS conv, there was a pepper white JCW on the lot. It had a black top with painted fenderflares and rocker panel. Plus it had the aero kit and satin black grill. This Mini, a 06 MCS which I pick up tomorrow, is slated for business use for two years. But this isnt going to stop me from turning it into that JCW I saw!

Heh, this MCS might just be that JCW that I saw. I saw it at East Bay Mini in Pleasanton FYI
