Hot Damn, Meg! That looks insanely nice! Almost liquid under the indoor lights! Nice choice of bonnet stripe colors, too.

Took the mini out today for a spin after finishing the aero grill last light at 3am! It was rough to wake up this morning. Nevertheless, it was all worth it I think!

I had no idea JB was disappearing when I ordered Malibu Stacy over the summer. I'm soooooo glad I didn't wait and order an '06. I think JB is like CR - it should ALWAYS be available.

Shoot, you're right. I can't believe that I even typed that. I'm actually learning Spanish, and what a stupid mistake!

I know- this is truly shocking to me. Even the General Manager at my dealership is outraged. They keep PH and LY, but get rid of JB?

One of my Motoring Advisors (the two work as a team) at Long Beach MINI told me that MINI is bringing back Jet Black for the 07 MCS. We shall see!

Thanks! I love 5-spoke wheels, and the deciding factor was that they're easier to clean. I can reach the backside through the spokes!

I love black. black always looks amazing on every car. I test drove a black mini a year before i bought mine, thinking that was what i was going to get... then i fell in love with every other color as well, but ended up with my last minute LY

I thought someone should post a view of a Jet Black MINI from the back. This pic is absolutely stock on delivery day. Such understated elegance!



Earlier postings of pictures of Boo and MiniClo were two of the reasons I chose Jet Black for Topper, especially when I heard it was being discontinued. And I love Vader's silver Shelby stripes. I'm probably going with that color but in either traditional Cooper stripes or a centerline Racing stripe just to be a little bit different! Should go great with the wheels and interior.
