It looks like my car will be my dealers first Hzb car so the first one I see in real life will be mine. I hope to have it some time next week, I can't wait.

Congrats on your HZB Mini. It looks like you have it nicely configured. I have NO doubt but what you will be thrilled with the color as well as the car itself. HZB is definitely a difficult color to describe. No hints of purple. Both my wife and son noticed slight hints of gray/silver. Very classy/sporty blue like no other that I have seen.

Post some photos when he/she arrives.

Have to add my 2 cents: I stopped by a local MINI dealer yesterday and saw the HZB for the first time - AWESOME color! I still love my Oxygen Blue, but the Horizon Blue looks WAY better in person - lots of gray undertones to it!

Very nice!

The window tint lends an extra air of elegance to the car, I do believe.

Sweet ride... enjoy and Motor On!

Really like the HzB/W... Just checked my nearest dealer and they've posted these 2 photos - 1 MC HzB/B and an MCS HzB/HzB w/ Aero kit.

Greetings fellow HzB owners. Salt n Peppa.....really like your MC's, especially fond of the HzB of course . We are in the waiting stage as our Mini is sitting at Southampton docks awaiting transport. This is our 2nd Mini with the first being Hyper Blue. Really liked the car but fell victim to the constant scare posts about the CVT. Decided to just enjoy this Mini and forget reading the "problems forum".

Thanks for starting this club....had to write a little "defense" in another Mini Gen 2 thread about our HzB color. OP indicated that HzB is "drab" and too "Honda Like". Ouch!!!! One thing I never try to do is down another person's choices.....especially when it comes to Minis. I enjoy looking at all the various Mini designs.

I'll post a photo as soon as it arrives. It should be alot like the Mini that is sitting on "Bob Smith's" lot as pictured above.

MiniDad08 cant wait to see your car. While not as bold as some of the colors like mellow yellow or CR Hzb is a great color for those who want a little class with there sporty looking MINI. My car was going to be MY but I when with Hzb since I thounght the MY would look great at first but after 5 years? The Hzb is timeless not trendy. IMO

Just left a deposit for an Hzb! 4-6 weeks :-D. Still have to hammer out some of the details re: some stupid fees they want to charge me and my trade in, but things are looking good.

What % tint did you have done? I'm just about to receive my HZB Clubman and I'm trying to decide how to tint it. Did you get the sunroof tinted as well?

Thanks!
