my royal grey MINI Cooper S!
i just got mine back in may '06 and i LOVE this color! i haven't seen any royal grey MINI in my area when driving around. you do get a lot of looks in this car, and i don't know if its just the MINI nature, or the color (meaning a lot of MINIs are typically bright i.e. red, blue, yellow, white) i think that the RG throws people off when they see it, but that could just be me. i agree on the color shifts. at night or on overcast days, the car looks a deep charcoal grey,
but in the sun and under lights, it almost has a olive-ish color to it. if anyone is considering this color, it is well worth it! i posted the first pic i took of it when i got it. don't know if this is any better than the others on here, but its the only one i have in the sun. i also posted a nice BW i took one day, but really has no relevance to this thread.
hope all is well with everyone,

Yeah... they only offered it for one year. Plus everywhere else in the world Royal Grey was offered only on the Parklane Cooper? (Correct me if I'm wrong)... not being offered on the Cooper S. So us peeps in the U.S. were lucky as we could pick and choose between colors and options between the Parklane/Checkmate series and I took full advantage of it

I finally got it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOW! that is all I can say....I don't think this can be legal..this car is fast and fun it should be outlawed..just kidding I will post some pictures. I will be getting the windows tinted on monday then I park it till I give birth to my baby girl (due any day now) my husband can drive it till I can..or maybe not I absolutely love it, the color is great! (thanks for all the great reply threads) I am so stoked on my new mini s...named pixmini..licence plate coming soon...check out my gallery for all pictures of the night of the "pick up"
