Just went through this thread - what a sharp MINI. I saw a few Kite Blue/Blacks... Can you get a Midnight Black/Kite Blue? I think that would be CLUTCH!

I took mine off too.

I need to take an after pic. I thought the decal was weak! I do vinyl for a living and I thought the sticker looked cheeses......but looking at another post with the vinyl blocks of color... I am liking it

I just took delivery of my 2013 Kite Blue Cooper S Bayswater edition on Valentine's Day (it seemed appropriate). I love all the unique things about the Bayswater, but my favorite has to be the two different colored side mirrors.

I'm in the Delaware-Maryland-Virginia area. A quick search of an auto-buying website found 9 Bayswater Editions at dealers in this area. I'll try to get a photo up soon, the weather is horrible here right now.

I am late to the party! Been stalking for close to a year and finally became the owner of a 2012 Bayswater yesterday! Dealer had one in the showroom and I fell in love. This is my first Mini. Definitely the coolest car I've ever owned.

Here's the PDF from Mini describing the package:
http://www.miniusa.com/specialAndLim..._Bayswater.pdf

The Bayswater edition comes in three colors: Kite Blue, Midnight Black and Eclipse Gray, and includes some nice options like automatic climate control, Xenon headlights, and 17" Jet Black sandblasted wheels. The seats are Rocklike Anthracite punch leather and are very comfortable with adjustable lumbar support.

The bonnet stripes are unique: one blue/one gray stripe. The mirror caps continue that theme with one blue mirror and one gray. Both mirror caps have fine black stripes that look like eyelashes. The blue/gray theme is more subtle in the interior, with some blue and gray double stitching on the gear shift boot, blue stitching on black floor mats, and small "Bayswater" tags on the seats. I probably missed a few things, but that's most of it.
