This is my first post! (probably breaking the first gear rule...)
Picked up my '09 HC/BLACK JCW a few weeks ago. I've also got the Toffee interior, I think it's sweet as heck! I'm thinking of turning these silver 17's into winter rims and getting some black wheels for summer next year. We'll see what the wallet says
I'm hoping I can eventually have the gas door painted in HC and the mini roof racks that I added redone in black. Also installed my rockymount bike racks in black on the roof racks this past wednesday... no pics yet.
Can I have a number?
Cheers,
Roby!

We have the chrome hood scoop on our hot chocolate and silver roof Clubby. It looked great until the heat caused it to deform. We installed the heat shield but it was too late and the chrome paint is peeling. Thankfully we kept the original scoop in h/c and most likely will reinstall it rather than buy another chrome scoop.

Just picked up mine yesterday
Traded in my 05 Ranger for better mileage and more fun. Went in for a 2010 R56 Cooper S Mayfair. Black Roof, Manual, well loaded and seemingly not abused.
Now off to drive it around some more.
Oh BTW first post and first MINI Cooper!

Well, after-
106,736 miles
NO major problems
More smiles than I can possibly count
...
HCOC #047 is headed to a new home in Alabama. If my (gasp) great niece decides to participate in the NAM community, perhaps she can pick up the torch. Great car, beautiful color, gobs of fun.
I'll be changing my .sig to reflect the move to a Brilliant Copper Countryman S shortly. Motor on, all!

Is there an "Iced Chocolate" owners club thread? Clubman or Hardtop. I don't see one.
Does anyone have photo that shows Iced Chocolate, or know what it looks like?
I'm pondering the new MINI and would likely repeat the brown theme, but I don't know the difference between the two chocolates. They look the same on the Configurator.

Will update in a couple of weeks but my Clubbie's paint was severly damaged when it was transported so it was just stripped and painted. All the Rally Edition green goodies are gone, not sure if I'll put them back. I'd have to buy a side grill... one of them just flew off when pulling it off transport... I checked the other side and it was really loose... don't know how I never noticed this before... such BS.
Anyway, I haven't seen the car in person but these were the pics sent to me... looks good and I'm told it looks good but don't know yet. I plan on wrapping the entire car, will definitely show pics of it then.

Ive gotta get a more up-to-date photo!! Ive got a plate on the front that says "BROWNOTE", its black with silver raised letters, look sharp. Need to get the windows done too.
Impressive little buggers!! All my friends that have driven it are very surprised by every aspect of it. Fit, finish, ride, power, efficiency, style, handling and SPACE!! I play in a band and can fit everything that i could fit into my '93 subaru legacy wagon into the MINI.
