That's one HOT MINI !!!

And that's a lot coming from a guy who normally doesn't like any shade of blue on a car (and is known by his coworker as being "PICKY PICKY PICKY").

Nope, they didn't ALL come in that blue. Personally, I really dig the Space Blue/Silver combo, but they came in other colors. I've seen several PS/B and PW ones, and I could swear I've seen a BRG one.

Yes sir, as far as I know including nav. It's a Jcw as well. I was fortunate enough to find one set up like this. Blaine, that's hot!

Thank you, after seeing yours (back when it was brand new) I knew I had to have the Checkmate package. Its nice to see that MINI went to a good home. It looks spotless!

VERY nice, especially like those seat graphics and the aero kit on a Checkmate. Is yours Space Blue or Astro Black? Looks darker than SB and those grilles set the aero kit off nicely.

And no, not all in Space Blue (though it's my favorite color), mine's Astro Black:

It's space blue. I love your side mirrors, I wish I had the patience to do that. It looks darker because I slapped on several coats of Menzerna FMJ after doing a full detail: Final polish 2, glaze, FMJ, P21s was able to get rid of the swirls.
