The Official "Royal Grey Plays Well With Others" Thread...
Since everyone else is off ruling the world, why don't the small number of Royal Greys (and future RG's!) hang out & have a Guinness here...
FWIW, I'll be ordering a RG/RG by the end of the year very similar to the one below. I'll be going with the Premium, Cold Weather, DSC, LSD, Front & rear Fogs, Xenons, HK, Park Lane (RG) Dash and the Tartan Red 1/2 Leather.
Instead of the lovely R99's, I have a set of 16x7 Bronze Rota Circuit 8 rims that I will be using, along with a Aero Grill. I have and Ian's Circuit waiting as well! Other plans include an Alta intake and rear sway, IceLink, as well as a pulley (size TBD!).
cheers!

Yup, Royal Grey is the way to go! I Just placed my order last weekend, and should have my production number in 6 months (i know, i know, i could have it sooner, but would rather stay local).
He is going to be:
MCS
Silver Roof
Chrome Line exterior
Packages #1-#4
Chrome line interior
English leather seats
Park Lane Dash
H/K stereo
NAV
Pretty much everything but JCW and LSD.
This is going to be the longest wait of my life, but it is going to be SOOOOOO worth it.

On my computer, i would say that this pic looks more *Royal Grey* than the pic I posted. Both times I went to the dealer it was pretty overcast, which didn't help show RG's warmth in the pictures....
It really is quite different from DS.
Nice pic BTW!

I love to go to MINIUSA and build a fantasy MINI every couple weeks. The latest object of my MINI fantasy love affair is most definitely the Royal Grey/Silver MCS.
I would describe Royal Grey as being closer to bronze or pewter, with definite brownish-olive undertones. It is another one of those colors that changes depending on the light. It is very classy. I believe I saw the same one at Long Beach MINI that Suzanne mentioned above. It was SO close to my fantasy-spec that it took my breath away!
I have to remember to upload the pix I took of it to see if any of them do it justice. Jimbo's piccie comes very close to capturing the lovely warm tones of Royal Grey.

And CDMINI have seen it in person, its a brownish grey with a greenish ting to it.

But that response doesnt work because they discontinued Indi and came out with Hyper, whereas Royal Grey and DS will be on the market together.
