I just bought my wife a 2010 hot chocolate cabrio and want to add the chrome around the fog lights. It looks like the bumper inserts are different on the factory chrome package cabrio than her no-chrome so I need to buy the primered bumper inserts that the chrome surrounds snap into and have them painted hot chocolate. Any hot chocolate owners have any repair paintwork done? I'm wondering how hard it is to match to the factory.

I have a name and number for you that PERFECTLY matched the HC on my car (headlight rings, grill surround, fuel cap, and door handle covers). Can't tell it didn't come that way!

I am the proud owner of a 2011 Hot Chocolate MINI Clubman. I have dreamed of a MINI for 8 years. I am working on my signature and hope to have pictures soon, but could not wait to sign up.
P.S. Every time I think I have come up with a name I find that someone else already picked it, so that will have to come later too!

Welcome Chocolate MINIs!

The cars and the photos just keep looking better. Welcome to the HC corner, LuvmyCocoMINI & Dreaming & Greg Davis!

Anyone have a good photo of gold racing stripes on a HC bonnet?

What does anyone else think about the varieties of brown that BMW/Mini is starting to use, like the Countryman's Toffee, or whatever it's called?
I hope HC stays around a while longer.

Not a fan.

In general, I'm not a huge fan of *any* non-metallic color, though. There are few exceptions.

cadreamer,
Your car looks like mine, only I do not have the rack on the roof, wish I did. I am hoping for good weather this weekend to take some pictures. I picked a name for my car today and then came home and had the MINI Adventure Field Kit waiting. Great Friday.

Thanks I like it too!! Something I found interesting this last weekend... I went to California to find a house (moving from seattle) and I saw SOOOO MANY MINIS!!! Like EVERYONE had one!! Its not like that here so I was shocked! EVEN MORE SHOCKED that even though like every other car was a mini... I didn't see a SINGLE brown one!! I've actually never seen another brown convertible ....

I love that even though MINI's are a dime a dozen there... WE THE PEOPLE OF THIS GROUP hehehehehe have a rare color! We are different and I LOVE that!!!

I know what you mean about the color. I have had several people stop me in parking lots and remark how pretty the color is. I have not seen another Hot Chocolate in my area. Also I do not see many convertibles, which surprises me.

me too! When I found out I was moving to cali I told my husband, "Hey maybe I should test drive a MINI convertible." I kid you not he did a U-turn right there in the middle of the road and took me straight to the dealer! HA!

Hes was trying to get me to drive one for YEARS but I was like nooooooo I dont think I'll like it..... I test drove it and looked like this the whole time!!! I bought my mini that day... I fell in LOVE with the chocolate brown! Its classy and almost vintage looking!

Love at first site for me!! ♥ ha

Hi! I am the proud new owner of a 2011 HC/B Clubman S. Mookie and I have been having fun for almost a week now. I have really enjoyed seeing all the pics of y'all's Mini's, the Hot Chocolate looks better every time I see it!
