Carrying a 61" t.v. on top and of course, the t.v. stand in the back!
Nice! I don't have a roof rack so I had to take mine home in the element. It barely fit inside and its only a 42" LCD!

recent pic of member #61 . I have my s-lytes on in this pic, but prefer the look of my Kosei K1 Racings...they were sans-tires at the time of the drive up Mt. Evans....so I had to run the s-lytes.

Did you retrofit the newer xenons to the car? They look really cool. The plastic on mine is starting to deteriorate and I may have to do something with them. I hate yellow lights!

yes, I did, they are OEM new from a dealer 2006 xenons.

You can buy a kit from www.mossmini.com to clean up the lenses, and you can simply buy new chrome rings from a dealer, they are pretty cheap....and the lens cleaning/polishing kit does a great job making them much clearer. It is a lot less expensive alternative to new headlights.

I'm finally getting around to signing up for the Indi Blue Club. Here's my 2004 MCS purchased on November 26th 2003.



It was ordered with only two options (HK stereo & MFSW) in order to keep it lightweight. A JCW kit was installed prior to pickup (with all of the JCW badges, exhaust tips, and IC cover left off for a stealth look. I still have all of these parts in their original factory packages.) Modification include 11 lb Volk wheels, H-Sport springs, and 25mm rear sway bar, and upgraded to JCW 210 hp.

Still fun almost four years into ownership.

I was pretty impressed with how well it worked out.. The t.v. didn't budge at all and the 61" t.v. stand fit in the back with the boot closed. I now give my mini more props than ever before!

Did anyone ever see this artwork by ****? The title is "Blue MINI".



This was done around the time of the MINI introduction. I contacted him and tried to convince him to sell prints of this, but no luck. All I got was this image off of the website, but it still makes a cool piece of art.

Cool! Now I'm finally an official member.

Here's another view of my IB/W with a bit of Indi Blue's complementary color reflected in the side.

COOP, Say it's not so! My condolences to you.

Maybe this is a good time to do a few custom mods when you get your new hood. You know, turn life's lemons into lemonade.

More photos...

The strut tower, motor mount, radiator, xenons, driving lights, engine fans, hood, cowl, front right QP, and ABS are definately done for. The IC looks okay, but I can't really tell for sure. There are lots of smaller parts blocking view of the engine and we can't touch it until insurance does. No word on frame damage or if the driveshaft snapped.

Here's hoping that I can keep my Indi Blue...

COOP310, sorry for your accident. Looks rough. Almost makes me shed a tear seeing that thing like it is!

Its an 04. The first into the dealer with the 3-spoke steering wheel. From talking to the body shop where I took it, the car is on the bubble as far as totaling it goes.

Thanks everyone for your concern.

Great photos 03Indigo!
