Hey,
I have only seen two all one color mini's on the road. There was a all Liquid yellow one and just a while back when I was traveling I saw and all electric blue. What color do you have, I envy you, because your car is so different of all the other mini's

Thats funny, the only two I've seen also is an all liquid yellow, and an all electric blue in Daytona Beach.

What I would love to see is an all black MCS with aero kit, very dark tinted windows, titanium colour wheels and matching fuel door and headlights (whatever you call the current chrome trim around headlights). IMO that would look AWESOME!!!
PS if there are any pics of one similar to that could someone point me in the right direction???

I've got a Cosmos Black MC coming in May. If I can swing it I'll be getting the aero kit + red stripes and maybe a custom graphic.

Is it true that the MINI One is all one colour, and that only the Coopers (and "S's&quothave the contrasting roofs?

Looking forward to seeing all the new cars you guys have coming!!!

Thanks, since these pics were taken, I've done the lower aero grill on the stock bumper. It really makes the front look sweet. IMHO.

i think the whole reason mini coopers stand out if cuz of there two tone tops! some colors do need the entire one color though, like jet black and pepper white! but in every other case i think a contrasting roof is the way to go... w/o it, it looks just like any other car, its wat sets the mini apart

There is somebody on the boards with an all black with dark tinted windows. He's in the Miami area so maybe check around on the regional boards, also the thread about tinted windows I'm pretty sure he posted pics there. His user name is Aperez49 and here's a pic

To the cooper world yes, but as far as the wide world of cars in general go, some might argue that the same color roof turns a mini into a normal looking car.

i saw an all black MCS with areo kit and painted wheel arches yesterday at the dealer
i don't really care for the areo kit, but this car looked sweet
too bad the mesh on the rear bumper wasn't painted black, as well

My MCS is all Black with Black Leather interior. My wife is dropping it off today to have the windows legal tinted. It has the Performance option with the 17" S lite wheels. So far eveyone that's seem it has commented that it is one BMF. I love it. We also have a Silver RX300 and a Gun Metal Grey 1971 Mini that we're going to have it painted in Silver to match the Lexus with a Black top to match the MCS. I'll leave my 63 MINI alone since it's Bordello Red.

I am partial to the white roof because of it's rally heritage of John Cooper.

That aside, I must say that this is one sweet blk/blk!!!
