I bought my car used without a manual and can’t download the online one. Does anyone know at how many miles I have to buy the renewed warranty?

Hey-

That Red Mini has a black grille. Is that going to be available? Or am I going to have to use the mesh grilles from the body kit?

For god sakes, paint it yourselves. It’s a tiny car. I’m going to make it look like a taxicab….

I just can't believe they have dropped yellow for the MCS.

The new colors for 06 are just flat boring.

Good thing I didn't wait for the 06's

I am glad I ordered an 05 yellow MCS which is on the way.

Have CR/B MCS for nearly 3 years. Delighted and continue to get comments that 'that is the best looking color combination I have seen' from > half those that take the time to comment.

Curious on Solar Red v. Chili Red...?

Will the SR be available with a White top? I am now deciding between the Chili or the SR for my first MC.

Can’t believe Gold is disappearing. That’s the most beautiful color of them all, IMO. Tired of red, blue, silver gray and white. Oh, well, can’t have customers happy all the time, eh?

I have a 04 MC in Solid Gold and Black. I constantly am told how cool and unusual it is. MINI goes bland, thats the headline. I'll just stay cool and unusual, it seems. MINI has had a good run, It was only a matter of time b4 they shot themselves in the foot. Not having Black as an option at all is the tell tale sign of a sales dept gone wrong.

It is a shame MINI has dropped such nice vibrant colors. Why are the colors for all cars lack lusters EB and SG just stand out in a crowd.

take a look around as you motor about and name the colors of other cars...white, white, black, silver, champagne, white, silver, white, white, silver, white, silver, maroon, dk blue, white, silver, silver...BORING...Too many bland MINI colors for my taste.

That said, I love my EB/B! and after 3 years still have people come up to me in gas stations and on the street and say how much they love the color!

And as it is an S only color in the states :)

I like the new colors…especially intrigued by Royal Gray. Can’t wait to see them in person.

I Like the Royal Gray alot! I'm not to partial to the new racing stripes though. I also like the Silver Roof. As for LY, that was going to be my first choice back in '04, then I saw it and it was just to light a yellow.

The brochues MINI had out showed it to be a more glossy darker yellow. For me the shade of yellow Mini had didn't do it.

It sure would be nice if MINI had decided to bring the entire Park Lane Mini to the US.

i second any mention that the colors pictured are way off. cr, hb and well some green-grey. No photos have I seen that are so wacked as these. as i’ve seen, the sb is a darker, muted NYYankee Blue, and the sr is an oranger red. i admit to having seen the rg with a greenish cast, but not to that extent. If sunlight is somebody going nuts with curves… :P

So can we confirm the dash/door color options for th 06 MCS?

So far I've got:

Alloy Patina Anthracite Hyper Blue Chili Red Royal Gray(?) Space Blue(?) Piano Black/Seven pattern(?)

I too disagree Hyper Blue and Indi Blue are alike, Hyper Blue is indeed much brighter (which means I personally like it better than Indi Blue).

I've seen a sample of Space Blue at my dealer, and it is a whole different ballpark. It's on the dark side if Indi Blue, and I actually detected a hint of green in it in certain lighting. Very nice.

I totally disagree with whoever said that Indi Blue and Hyper Blue were so close in colour that you can hardly tell the difference. IMHO there is a huge difference...Hyper Blue is so much brighter & lighter than Indi. IMHO the best blue that has been offered so far is Indi Blue...that is a perfect blue.

Oh, and I have a LY/W '05 MCS and am so glad I got one while I could.
