Just ordered my second MINI

I've received some great infomation on the board to help me put together my order. I really wanted electric blue so I had to work fast. I'm hoping to get some nice aftermarket driving lights, so I'll head over to check out the mods forum and see what's available. (I was inspired when I saw a MINI in downtown L.A., blasting through Chinatown, with four driving lights. It looked soooo good.)

My MC is an '03 indi blue/white with holeys, very classic.

The MCS will be electric blue/white, bonnet stripes and 17" s-lites, with driving lights, chrome grille and boot handle to be added. I didn't get too many options, just LSD, HK and rear fog.

I may need to join the two-MINI-family support group. Either that or I'm going to cry my head off when I sell the MC. I love that car, I mean LOVE it.

They're small so maybe both will fit in the garage. Congratulations.

Yeah.. EB/W.. I have the same configuration.. I really love the color EB/W with white strip and white S-lite. But the S-lite is so easy to get scratch.. need to spare a feet from the curb if you do parallel park.

I almost bought a EB/W because I love that color. But I didn't.

EB was never really my cup of tea but it was the signature color of the MCS, at least just for the USA. A few months ago I travelled to Vancouver, BC and saw for the first time ever an EB Cooper. Looked gorgeous. I never understood why MINI decided not to offer it in our local market.

CONGRATS! The EB/W is a great color combination.....but I'm probably a little biased.
