Well it is an option! I personally am ok with it but if money was no object I would have probably gone for it.

...anyway people, post some pictures of your Mini's....I'm craving more Bayswater fixes while I wait for mine!

 

Here are some pics from after I got her lowering springs on. They haven't settled yet but it's only been a week.
That's my husband's S.

 

Both cool looking Coops!

 

 

I bought mine off of the lot, it was specced exactly like I would have ordered it except for the black (anthracite) headliner. I wish it had this, because the tan sucks, but my need for a new vehicle was greater than the ability to wait on one being built, oh well.

 

I hear you there. Bought my IB/B off the lot for a good discount at the sacrifice of the anthracite headliner and cloth sport seats. The cloth Seat Armor covers cured the seat issue and work great for the dog, but I still wish I had a black headliner and pillars. I'm getting used to the tan after almost a year...

 

I had the off white headliner in my Gold Cooper and loved the contrast but my husband INSISTED I get the black in the Bayswater and I'm so glad I listened to him.

 

I have a full alacantara headliner in one car, and the contrast in another. I actually looked at the off-white one in the X5 before I ordered. Both are good...I think money no object I would have gone dark headliner AND the sunroof though.

 

I only regret not getting black headlights but those are easy to find aftermarket.

 

Mini's are buggers like that. I'll just add a few options...oh and that one...before you know it you have a $35k Mini!

 

I went from a New Beetle with a completely tan/cream interior and headliner to the BW with the anthracite interior, so getting the light headliner was a good way for me to adjust to the new dark interior. I do have the panoramic sunroof which would have opened up the anthracite headliner some so it wouldn't feel like a cave, but for $250 extra, I decided to put that money towards comfort access

 

Saaaaaweet edition!

 

I put the black head light with the black BW and the anthracite headliner fit together very nice

Did any one put the blackened head light on blue?

How about a front on picture, just curious how it looks

 

Diy black headlights is super easy as well, the quality will show in good prep and paint.

 

I'd love to see a pic Tab.

Bigprfed22, I Joey-modded my 2004 Cooper's headlights, with the help of 5 other Cooper owners. Not sure I want to do that agin. They never went back in right. :( Is it easier on the new ones?

 

I have blacked out headlights on all my cars since 2004. It is easy if done right.

Quality of the look is how you prep and what paint use.

As far as taking them apart they are super easy. Just make sure to *** some silicone sealant after you bake them together again.

 

Add another one to the list. My GF just bought one of these tonight. She should have it by the end of the week or early next So happy for her. It's a base hardtop with premium and cold weather coming in from another dealer, 2012, manual, in kite blue. I'll be sure to post pics of it as soon as she get it!

 

Welcome!

 

Can you please tell me a bit about the black car? It's an S but what are the stripes? Are they MINI Motoring graphics stripes? The mirror covers are custom or the MINI orange covers? I have an Astro black Justa and i'm trying to decide what to do with color accents and I love the orange accents on this car.

 

The orange Stripe was done by a local Vinyl shop here in Las Vegas. The mirror Caps and side scuttles are all MINI Parts

 

That's my hubby. ^

 

So here's a question: I pass other Mini's on the road all the time, but have yet to come across another Bayswater edition in my travels, Has anyone else passed along another Bayswater in their travels?

 

Never seen one. I've ordered the colour based on the pictures I could find online/

 

I did the same when I did chose the midnight black. I did see the blue at the dealer.

I would just love to see another one on the road.

 

I recently saw a "Bayswater" in a parking lot in Sacramento. I had to check it out. The blue body with a black roof. The car looked great.
