Future member here!! :D I absolutely LOVE the Lightning Blue color. I'm getting black sport stripes... I hope it looks the way I'm picturing it. In production right now and should take delivery in early August if all goes well.

Have you tried your dealer? I bet the body shop would keep it in stock.

Aparently touch up paint is better than gold in the mini community. So if you find some , buy 2.

Well, once they figure out how to put "Do Not Consume" on the label, there should be plenty available. Unbelievable.

Congratulations! I've had Belle since 5/10 and am still smiling when I drive her. It took 9 weeks from order to delivery, seemed like a long time while I was waiting, but spending time with NAM helps!

Levine Auto has the Lightning Blue touch-up paint. I have used it and it's a perfect match. Pretty reasonable price, too. Check them out.

Thanks Nice pictures. Most of the time when I go to the gallery I come up empty . That will 'feed the need' for a little while.
BTW what is the backup camera screen for?

I'll join anything.

Count me in too.
I picked up my Mini in Protland Oregon on July2nd 2007 and have been on an extended roadtrip ever since. My Mini, The DB Cooper now has over 8K miles on it and got it's first ticket today from a State Trooper in Ohio. Damn DB just won't slow down.
