Hi,

I am on the verge of getting:

Cooper S
Crown Spoke (silver 17")
Dark Silver (grey) with Black stipes/Black roof
Piano Black
Carbon black leather (ribbed one - looks so nice)
Chilli pack
Auto air con
DSC
Multi function wheel
Limited Slip Diff
Sports Suspension
Dark rear glass
Visibility Pack

What do you think? i was going to get HiFi upgrade but i have some existing kit I want to reuse (see post in ICE forum).

Am I missing anything decent? Good colour combo? Do you think the inerior might be too dark?

Im after any advice possible! I want to order on Monday!

Thanks!

Neil

Thats a great spec, nothing wrong at all with that

Maybe cream colour line to go with the Piano Black? Can't really comment on the Auto Air Con, but seems quite expensive seeing as though its still single zone, the MFSW is well worth the money, the Visibility Pack is a great option, dark glass will look great with Dark Silver, not 100% on the Sports Suspension, but on 16"s, Ive heard they're OK (the std susp. with 17"s is OK verging on good), the DSC is something we should have spec'd (on greasy roads a lot), and apart from that, I can;t really comment. Good luck with your motor

Looks very good to me (though I am not a fan of Dark Silver). they only thing you may consider (purely on aesthetic basis!) is the anthracite head lining....it will make it darker, but matches quite good with the rest of the interior.

I too was worried about the dark interior, and eventually changed to the beige leather.

For a dark silver car, I'd try the redwood lounge leather. Oooo, pretty...

Thanks for the feedback guys - I think id like to stay with black leather (just to be safe!).

maybe brushed aluminium rather than piano black?

If you're going to use your existin hi-fi gear, great. If not, IMO the Mini Hi-fi upgrade is a necessity if you enjoy your tunes
