cutters68: Can't see any pics; but if that's yours in your sig, that's a great color combination and i LOVE the stripes. I'm seriously considering those for my R53, and that's the first black MINI i've seen with those stripes.
Can you see the photo now?

Beautiful Maaij! I'm second guessing my Chili Red now :( Oh well, too late to change anything now.

We have a future Mini Owner and she enjoys this car as much as her Mom and Dad. We hear "My Car, My Car very often. It's been a blast and we love the Pepper White and you guys continue to give me more ideas on how I can make ours different. You can truly make them one of a kind.

Oh sorry, I checkered the roof. The rims are OEM R99s in anthracite.

Wow, just wow. I've read where AB had some blue in it, but does it really look this blue in person? That is much closer to the ideal blue that I like than Lightning blue is. Or is it just picking up the sky so much that it shows bluer than it is?

Can anyone else who's got one/seen one in person give me some feedback on how reprsentative of AB that thiese pics are? Especially the second one?

Thank you

Those pictures are very accurate and representative of what AB looks like in direct sunlight. Mine finished production today and while I wasn't completely sold on the colour initially I have to say the more I see of it, both in person and in pictures, the more I like it.

I like it...those big checks are cool...Where did you get your vinyl from? It seems like waxing the roof will have some added difficulty now...If I can find some vinyl for cheap, I would love to cover the whole roof just so I don't have to worry about killing the black roof in this florida sun

I didn't notice the blue under sunlight very much, nor as much as I did in the dealership's showroom. There, it was very noticeable; I thought it was a new color. It looked like a darker version of the Mercedes Black Opel, which I loved. Ya, AB was my close 2nd choice and I'm not fully convinced I didn't make a mistake not getting it.
