After seeing a few pictures of black ones, I really like it and decided to re-order my MCS. I've changed from pure silver to black, while extend my waiting period another month from Dec to Jan delivery. Since black Mini is a rare specie, I would love to see more pictures of black ones. Please post some pictures here for the lusting pleasure of your fellow future black MCS owner!!! :smile:

Here are a few pictures of my 2004 MCS. I picked it up 2.5 weeks ago.
I think black is the best color for any car when it is kept clean.

Good choice, just make sure you clear some weekly calendar space for TLC blk is going need if you want to drive a shiny looking car. But when it's all nice you'll be pimpin. My car gets lots of looks when it's clean. I just finished cleaning it 5 minutes ago, I think it needs some touching up by now. Gotta go!

Taking care of a black Mini isnt nearly as hard as a bunch of people around here have complained about. They had me horrified after I ordered mine with stories of swirls and soft paint.

The Mini paint is fine, people just need to learn how to properly wash and wax a car.

Mine stays shiney and clean 24/7.


I wouldnt have any other color.

Darxar & Punisher, nice wheels!!!

I'm really drooling over the black MCS!

When looking over all the Mini literatures, I've yet to come across a black one. I wonder why? Don't people like black?

I'd post some of my black/black MCS, but she's a very dirty girl at the moment and needs a good cleaning.

Those wheels are fabulous! How big are they? What tires do you have on them. How much for the wheels? How much for the tires?

Even black can't make a Mini look mean!

nparker: It was the pictures of your black MCS that inspired me to change my order from pure silver to black. Now I have to wait an extra month.

It'll be well worth the wait!
Like Darxar said, "Tons of looks"
I don't see too many black MINIs running around.

18" Wheels...I don't recommend 18". No rim protection.
