The OFFICIAL Midnight Black Owners Club
Alrighty, so I have the honor of starting one of the new color threads. If you own, are interested in, or just like the new Midnight Black color this is the place for you.
It doesn't matter if you own an R55, 56, or 57 please post photos of your Midnight Black baby here and represent. When I get time, I will be working on badges for the signature lines, please be patient with me.
In the mean time, there is frapper map that Midnight black owners can join to see where we are all located:

Here are some pics to start off with

It really does appear to be a true black, you have to get really close or under florescent lights to see the metallic. And when I say close I mean like 6 inches away. At all times she has looked black to me The metallic flakes are black and silver though. I never saw the color before I ordered and have been overly thrilled with it. Especially when compared to what they last called "black."
Although, I love my new car

Thanks for all the nice complements. In the mean time, I have been doing some mods. So far I have done: black grill surrounds, black c-pillars, euro arm-rest, carbon-fiber hood scoop, blacked-out belt line, JCW side scuttles, shorty antenna, and tinted the side reflectors. I also got some more photos of the delivery from my MA. So here is some more Midnight Black goodness.

Very "special." I heard its the source of the mysterious squeaking that comes from the back of MINIs sometimes Any word on yours yet? Maybe you should PM David_in_Germany to find out exactly how he tracked down his. And worse case scenario do a stalker run by the MINI factory, your close enough If I was still in Harrogate I would so totally join you. Good luck

Okay, the question I have is simple. If I trade my current Cooper in for a Clubman, it will have to be Midnight black, or course. Is there an option to have the rear trim replaced with black, or do the MBs only have the silver option? An all black clubman would be right up my alley. It's like a MINI Hearse !!!

There is an option for black c-pillars, if you do it yourself. That's what I did, I'm just waiting for my next paycheck to do the bumper bit. You can order stock black c-pillars from the dealer or pelican auto, installation takes like 5 mins for each piece and a torx screwdriver. Now all I need to do is get my vinyl installation class so I can vinyl wrap the rest of my chrome myself By the way the gloss black stock c-pillars match really well w/ the MB, it looks like it was made that way.

Happy Winter Solstice, Happy New Year to all of you and your MINIs!

NP, any questions about the clubbie bit just ask. I thought about naming Cerridwen, Lilith, but then I saw yours and couldn't do that. I just knew she needed to be named after a dark goddess Although, we are fans of your little one Cerridwen rocked going 131 mph on the autobahn this morning....
Happy Winter Solstice, Happy New Year to all of you and your MINIs!

Oh, you could have named her Lilith. That wouldn't have bothered me. Where are you at in Germany? I'm at Stuttgart right now until mid Feb.

LMAO!!! I live half way between Manheim and Darmstadt, but I work in Wiesbaden. I worked temporarily in Stuttgart in April of this year, I'm only like 1 1/2 hour'ish away. Maybe we should get a run together with other Mini drivers in Germany before you leave. We could call it a dark diety run PM me.

To lilliux and other who have their midnight black MINIs...
I haven't seen the new color in person (even though I ordered it), but I'm wondering if the new midnight black is similar or the same as the current black that comes with the MINIs that have black tops? That's almost a glossy black.
Mine should arrive the third week of February.
