Blue Black Mini Cooper S

Hi guys,


I'd like to ask you about factory color of Mini Cooper S (R56).
The reason is, I'm currently hunting for a 07 built Cooper S and I found one. According to the seller, the car is in good nick. Only done about 12thou kms. But the car is quite far away from where I live (1 hour fight far). So before heading to see the car, I just want to make sure that Mini offer this color. I know photos don't do justice, but at least I believe many of you guys can recognize the color and hopefully tell me that the color is offered by Mini.

Here are the photos:

According to my 2007 brochure it would have to be Astro Black Metallic.

Wow that's an 2007 MCS, damn! Looks as clean as my 2007 MCS after being repainted, I guess that's what you get when you garage you cars.

The color is engraved in a small piece of metal attached to the supports under the hood. I agree that it looks like Astro Black. The car looks great, good luck.

Have fun,
Mike
