I didn't ask, but they could maybe do it aftermarket/dealer fit to get around that, it's probably the vehicle "as produced" that has to pass the regs?

I have opted for fluid silver interior trim as on the configurator the dool elipses appeared black.
Is this right ? Thought they'd be silver to match standard silver dash.
If you specify chequered dash what colour are the elipses ???

Not entirely sure what the chequered dash would give but the fluid silver would give silver elipses.

From the price list -

I believe this changes IF you are having the chomeline interior ? The dials and "additional decor rings" 4AU? become chrome finish in the pack. I've gone for fluid silver & chrome with red colour knee roll and door pads. Mainly for contrasts and clean smooth finish.

The ellipses are possibly the hardest part to get right on a lot of combinations. Becomes very personal but can see a lot of choices looking bland.

Looking to get Gravity Tuscon Beige leather. The cream white color line is the default trim, but it would seem to me that the Rooster Red would go better with the Beige leather. I'm saying this because the Rooster Red in some photos shows as a kind of terracota color.

Terracota would go well with that Tuscon beige leather. It would seem though that a brighter red would not be a good match.

You folks have seen these. I'd very much appreciate your comments.

i don't like the combination of the tuscan beige with cream colourline. there's a definate & obvious colour difference & it just seems to jar slightly. i really don't understand why they paired these together.

The rooster red is definately a bright red which matches the chilli red paint. its the redwood red thats a teracotta shade but for me the only colour that really goes with the tuscan beige is black or the current anthracite grey

£2000 raised & still going..

I saw one the other day, and TBH it didn't like the difference was that great between the beige seats and the cream colour roll

Thanks for your comments. I was afraid of that.

There is a serious need for someone with a sense of color, a sense of art so to speak, to help in defining the allowed color combinations.

As it stands, on my S I've gone with the grey/black sports seating, the wood interior surfaces and steering wheel, and the sparkling silver body color with the black roof/mirrors. Sure hope I haven't screwed up in selecting these color combinations.

In another post I had asked for pictures of the wood interior. You folks came through. Thanks! Looks great!

Rooster Red knee roll

The Rooster Red knee roll is as stated above 'bright' to go with Chili certainly not a terracotta in any sense. Can't see it looking good with beige leather to be honest IMO.

Good luck. (You don't see many Terracotta Roosters!)

Has anyone noticed that the cream white colour line you have to have with the tuscan beige clashes soooo badly. saw it at my dealer and looked terrible.

Ive chosen half leather in cream white, cream white colour line and piano black trim. Dealer said they had one in the other day and it was the best lookin interior of any car they have had in so far. so that helped make up my mind for me!

hey guys i'm new to the forums, i've had a mini for a little over a year now. But after seeing the new models i've spent the last few days configuring my new one (which is years away), mostly because i'm loving that Redwood leather interior, but I imagine that it has a pretty limited exterior color choice.

My dealer said that only 2 in every 250,000 MINIs are identically specced. Goes to show how creative we all are with the options list!

"There are 372 different interior trim and 319 different exterior options for the new MINI. Allowing for all variant possibilities, it is theoretically possible to produce 1.5 x 1016 (150,000 billion) different MINI variants. Therefore it is extremely unlikely that two completely identical MINIs will leave the Oxford plant within the same production year."
