God I love the new Midnight Black! MINI of Nashville had one in the last time I was down there. BEAUTIFUL.

Now you just need to murder it out. A stealth MINI.

LOVE the interior... but of course I would. It's nearly identical to mine.

Primary difference is that Viola's an automatic and I have rubber floor mats. This winter, I have really been glad that I had the rubber floor mats too!

Thanks! yea rubber floor mats would be nice for the winter, as you can see the carpet ones are a pain to keep clean. But mine were free and look good when they are clean, so I can't complain.

I like the look of the carpet mats in there, it's very nice.

I also wish that I had the nav, but I didn't special order Viola. I bought her off the lot. I know this is blasphemous, but she was the demo car at the dealership and she was everything that I wanted in my MINI. I wasn't sold on the PS/B color combo, but one test drive was all it took to tell me that Viola and I were meant to be together. I had test driven a couple other MINIs and something about Viola just felt right.

Immediately after I bought her, I ended up having to go a whole bunch of places in parts of town that I hadn't been to before and after going home to visit the folks and finding that I barely remembered my way around the city and knowing that I was going to be traveling out of town at least twice more that summer... I went and bought a Magellan. I'm glad I have the portable nav now, but would love the built in nav for things like... I dunno... not having to deal with that stupid end of the stick thing for navigating the OBC.

09BlackJCW,

Your MBM JCW looks awesome! My wife has '08 CR MCS with Black interior, I thought I'd get an MBM MCS with Black interior & Rooster Red seats. I think it would look good with red sport stripes too. I've been on the configurator, trying to decide what to order. Soooooooo many good choices....

I actually got mine off the lot. The saleswoman showed me the bluetooth on that car and I fell in love with the color combo.

Looks good Herman. What % tint do you have? I have the same color car and I think your tint looks about right. I don't want to go too dark....

The tint is actually 35% with 5% on the sunroofs. I wanted to do legal tint because I was sick of getting pulled over. I think I have another pic of the spoiler. If not I'll snap another.
