For me, as beautiful as Astro Black is, the aerokit won't show as nicely. I have a black X5 that I installed a 4.8is front bumper (painted lower cladding). It is barely noticeable except after a fresh Zaino treatment. Taking that into account + increased potential for paint swirls + that dust magnet factor + Red & White defines a classic MINI + those happen to be our national colors = my math and why I'm in this limited club. We have room for you, but to each his own. You can't go wrong either way.

And congrats on the marriage.

Thanks Canadian... after 11 days the marriage is great... although if I keep waffling on cars, it may be one of the shortest ever. And I don't think she's intending for it to end in divorce, if you know what I'm saying

The idea of an all Canadian car is appealing more and more. I did promise myself I'd never buy another black car, and my last red car was pretty easy to care for. Given my druthers, I'd rather the black roof for red, but if I could get a nice checkerboard decal and some black accents on the hood (after the car on the minipirate banner that shows up here sometimes) it would be a very sweet ride. (Actually, have you seen the red JCW that Crowfoot had in their showroom 2 weeks ago? It was pretty awesome. The red seats made the car even better. I'd hate to know how much it costs, however.)

Well, let's look into this: Faster, what do you think the chances of getting me a CR/W car are?

Bonus challenge: finding a cool number!
