Looks pretty good to me, although I'd like to see in in Indi Blue.

Frank Apr 23rd, 2004 Link

Very nice. I am pleased to see that MINI did a good job with the new range of blue paints for '05.

Regular gas cap on the S Cabrio

Frank Apr 23rd, 2004 Link

Ian, good catch….

Gabriel Bridger Apr 23rd, 2004 Link

I had heard that somewhere but frankly didn't believe it. Interesting.

Hot Damn. Does anyone want to take over the lease on a 2003 Mini Cooper S?

My only consolation is that that I don't like this car's 17″ wheels as much as the S-lites I have (Those are 17's on the Cabrio, right?)

For some reason, it seems to look better as a MCS… or maybe it's just because mine's a MCS….

I don't get MINI colour choices. We had Indi Blue & Electric blue which was nice because they were very different. Now there is Hyper and Cool blue. GOOFY! I like both colors but with all wonderful range of colours out there why? Did the designers loose their Pantone books?….. I like the smoother grill…The taillights look cheap to me………R

I think that the new cool blue is a nice alternative to all the grey/silver cars out there… It's no Indi Blue, but it's no Solid Gold either…

Hi! Does anyone know when the MCS Cabrio is released in the UK? I placed an order for one last week but nobody knows when it will arrive, and now i've seen these official pictures i'm dying to get my hands on it! :)

Gabriel Bridger Apr 25th, 2004 Link

I'm guessing it should be late August for the UK – although that's just a guess based on other time tables.

Karl Apr 25th, 2004 Link

Thanks Gabriel! :) Now all i have to do is decide on the colour and find a buyer for my Cooper S…

al Apr 25th, 2004 Link

I'm surprised at how much better it looks in these pictures. I wasn't at all crazy about it before.

Felipe Apr 25th, 2004 Link

Okay, so the cool blue grows on me. My question is, what's the deal with the gas cap? No more cool chrome gas cap on the MCS?

Ryan Apr 25th, 2004 Link

I don't quite understand why Mini would choose to introduce two new colors, so similar to each other.

Gabriel Bridger Apr 25th, 2004 Link

The cabrio looks even better in person.

Eric Longman Apr 26th, 2004 Link

Beautiful. I just can't justify ditching a six-month-old MCS to get the more-expensive and more-expensive-to-insure MCS Cabrio. :(

I guess I'll have to admire them from afar.

how do i go about getting one? There are no dealers in El Paso, TX. How soon can I purchase one?

Jeffrey Dodd Jul 3rd, 2004 Link

Ordered my cool blue MCS Cabrio today from Knauz to be built in the first week of August; delivered in early September. As it'll be Dad's primary car, I decided to trick it out with all 3 packages. I'll report back once it's in hand.

Tai Jul 3rd, 2004 Link

i'm having a dilima choosing which colour to get any suggestions? i just checked the mini international site and they have black eye purple (my favouirte colour is purple), then the hyper blue (above which is attractive), and the electric blue(very special and different) which i was planning to get on the 04 MCS

electic seems girlish hyper blue (only available on the S) and black eye purple! AHHHH~

Jeremy Jul 20th, 2004 Link

The Mini looks awesome, but I agree about the gas cap. Hyper Blue is my fav new color, but I miss the Indi Blue. I just got put on a waiting list, 6-8months in the U.S. But I can't wait.

Gabe Jul 20th, 2004 Link

Jeremy – if you don't want to wait there are many dealers that only have 2 month waiting periods.

Rigger Oct 21st, 2004 Link

I was just in Germany, And Iam getting a Mini S Cabrio in Hyper blue shipped to me. I will Get My Mini In March or late Febuary. I got to test drive one on the auto bonn it was the most Awesome thing at 200km….

Phil May 19th, 2005 Link

ALTHOUGH NO chrome gas cap I’m to place my order for a cooper s cabrio. After liking the cool blue because of the photos, I saw one around: TERRIFIC It’s a queery violet purplette! Then I thought about red or yellow, but I wasn’t convinced. So I’ll take it dark silver, with stardust no-extra-cost wheels. bye
