I've got a question. Say I wanted to get the aero kit installed, would it still be available in the indi blue color at the dealer? Or say I needed paint work done or something similar, do the MINI dealers still support the colors they discontinued? I'm just curious, I sure hope they would.

Yeah- I'd like to see some of those Velvet Red, I think I would have liked it! I never looked much at mini's until about a month before I ordered mine. For some reason my DH thought they were much much more expensive. Maybe because they were parked at the BMS/Lexus dealer.
They blew Velvet Red. If they'd offered a rich carmel/tan top and tan interior it would have been fantastic...I saw one with black top etc..and while it was nice it didn't pop like it would with a more complimentary set of colors.

Yep, Here is my 2004 MCS IB/W "Dobby." I've since had driving lights put on him.
I'm sure I'm bias, but I love the IB so much more over the HB or PH or CoolB. Had I gotten a 2005? I probably would have gotten red.

I saw a VR/B with black/tan leather interior when I was looking at some used MINIs. I'm probably in the minority here, but I thought it looked pretty sharp!

Dirty, dirty IB/IB MCS that does double duty as commuter/SUV killer. On H&R springs, pre-camber correction a la RDR adjustable lower control arms out back.
FWIW I really don't see that much difference between IB and HB, though HB looks to be perhaps a little more boy-racer.

My best friend owns a body shop and a good body shop can match any color, we are getting ready to customize with some VR add ons.....

My velvet red/black combo fits me to a "T". I am starting to think I might want to move up to an MCS so will have to adjust "me" to another color combo.
. Fully expect, though, that the joy of motoring in a new mini will ease the pain:smile: :smile: :smile:
I'm wondering if anyone has put stripes on thier velvet red? The VR/B combo just doesn't seem to me to invite stripes, but I'd love to be proven wrong. If you have pics, please post 'em!
