As for getting the mirror caps off, if you have a little plastic pry tool, you start from the top inside and work your way out. It definately feels like you're going to break it, but it just pops free. Good luck!

Thank you for the advice on the mirror covers I will get that tool and take them off. I had another profile and I asked a ? and someone was rude and I guess I might have used a "bad" word in my response to him and I got banned!!

I don't want to put the grill on because it just so much meaner w/o it but that also means crap hits it and on the highways here in AZ there is a lot of debris!

I ordered my Electric Blue Mini about a week ago. I bought one that was actually out of production sitting on the dock. Mine is a 15M3 4 door hardtop S with: Cold Weather package, Premium package, Media package, John Cooper Works Exterior Package, JCW Steering Wheel, 18" JCW Cup Spoke two-tone wheels, Leatherette Carbon Black interior, Black bonnet stripes.

It apparently is on a boat now so I am getting excited.

My daughter will be driving the Countryman at college next year. The wife has a regular Mini S. So we will be a three shades of blue Mini Family: Midnight Blue Countryman, Horizon Blue regular Mini and an Electric Blue 4 Door Hartop.

2008 - 39,400mile, Manual, LSD, S-Winders, Cold Weather package. Nice lite configuration. Took me a while to find a MCS with no sunroof and a LSD. Now slowly preparing it for D Stock autocross.


How do you know if it has the LSD?

We have a lazer blue 2007 MCS with the black roof. It is living the semi retired life now as we got another car. Am thinking of adding a few things (stripes, checkered mirror covers, etc.) in the Spring.

I've just seen some 17" laser blue split spoke wheels to possibly suit my new silver roadster

These are currently on a full laser blue mini

Is it too much for joe public, and the blue laser stripes I will also add ?

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-x-Mini-...19.m1438.l2649

Anyone good with photoshop?

This is the look on a 911,

Beautiful color!

It’s what initially attracted me to my car! I’m a sucker for blue
