Go to mini2.com

Click on Galleries, then choose Personal

Search the Personal Galleries with the word 'hyper'.

This will yield numerous pics of both combinations

here is my HB/HB MCS. I really like the solid color, plus it's a little more rare to see a solid color MINI.

And here's a shot of our 09/09/04 built 2005 HB/W MCS:

Yeah, that looks pretty ridiculously hot!

I'm still stuck on color myself - HB/B or DS/B. Anyone here have a nice picture in daylight of a DS/B with the bonnet stripes, kind of like TheOfficeMaven's HB/B?

Oh, and how much is it for the clear corners turn signals? That looks so great!

EDIT: Just checked on the car builder at MINIUSA... are the '05 MCS models already clear-cornered?

At least yours is still running... Ours died less than two weeks after we got it (with only 168 miles on the clock) and we haven't had it since. It's been five looong months since it died on us and they STILL aren't able to fix the car (can you say screeeewed up). Anyway, MINI has stepped up to the plate and has replaced the car for us (hence the new HB/B one). We're just waiting for all of the details to be worked out before we can drive it home.

That first MCS really left a sour taste in my mouth for anything with the MINI/BMW brand name on it. I'm just really hoping that the new one will be better. I can't take anymore!
