Hey fellow RGM MINI owners,

I want to move my license plate to the No Holes position, and will be leaving behind two very unsightly holes in my bumper. Which is the reason for my appeal to you.

I have not been able to find a source that stocks plugs painted in MINI's RGM/A48/7, but they can be custom ordered from bumperplugs.com.

The cost is $99 for three sets. I need one set. If I can find two other RGM owners interested in a set I might consider ordering, rather than trying to paint a set myself.

Any takers, PM me. Thanks!

I am considering getting a full decal for my roof.


I am either getting a pure silver/ royal grey checker combo or a pure silver/ black checker combo.

I am not too sure how the black would look but I am also hesitant to find out if a shop would be able to match the oem royal grey paint with vinyl.


Thoughts?

Hi all,
Love the Royal Grey. It's been my favorite color since it's introduction. I'm about to get paint done and need the paint code. I went to the Mini dealer and they were clueless as to what code to give me. I want to get it right and what's right is the color that I've seen in this thread.

Thanks for any help.

I have touch up paint at home with the number on it. I'll be glad to post it when I am back home.

Additionally, it's pretty bad if the dealer didn't know what color royal grey is as the new Countryman comes in royal grey. Definitely should be a color they know.

Thanks Alex, I'll keep my eyes peeled. I believe it's A48, yet I've only read that online.

Great thread.

Stirling is a Royal Grey Countryman S All4 at port, waiting for a boat.

I will add pics to this thread when he arrives.

Cheers,
Tad

My Dad just found a GREAT deal for me on a 2006 RGMC that I couldn't pass up, so he made an offer and the guy accepted. He had much more time to be searching for cars than I do, and living in the sprawling metropolis that is Cloudcroft (population 700 people), there are VERY few cars within 250 miles of me.

Sad thing is, my Dad is picking it up tonight, but I don't get to fly there to pick it up and drive it home until the end of the month . The wait is going to kill me, but I'll get by dreaming about driving it.

Glad to be able to join the RG Mini thread!

Washed her the other day. Also, just installed an Alta V2 CAI this weekend.

Flat out, glad she came in this color! RG, all the way!
