I think the blue with the silver compliment each other nicely. I love the dark silver of yours!!

Thank you! After it finally arrived a couple that were in the dealership wanted to purchase it before I picked it up. They ended up ordering the same thing so I know there is at least one twin running around.

VERY nice. I like the hyper blue & silver. My favorite is Space Blue, but I own Astro Black (better described as "dark metallic black-blue").

I have a Space Blue Checkmate with a silver CVT selector to complete the look, but I was wondering about how many checkmates were made?

Anyone try the Koni FSDs on their Checkmate?

Thinking about those as well as switching to an H Sport rear sway bar.

Any input would be appreciated.

Had the checkmate for just about a month and thought it was time to try and post a pic.

Enjoy!

My Checkmate gets her first taste of Pacific Coast Highway (to Monterey) next week.

Should be a blast.

I added a little "checkmate" engine bling recently. Here is a link to my Checkmate photos and some shots from Minis in the Mountains 2008.

checkmate owners club badge

hi,

As a checkmate owner from the Netherlands, I love the checkmate owners club badge you all use in your signature. Does one of you have the image of this badge in a high resolution format for me?

Thanks in advance for your support.

Regards,
Koen
