Hey All,

I'm looking at getting an R56 cooper, and trying to nail down my spec,

does anyone know whether you can get a sparkling silver cooper with a white roof?

Sparkling silver is only in the brochure available with black and body coloured roof, but on the configurator you can spec it????

Hat · Nov 30th, 2006, 07:03 PM

i'm pretty sure you can't

KPKalle · Nov 30th, 2006, 07:13 PM

It's available on the configurator and that's pretty much my preferred choice. If we stay with Sparkling Silver

Which brochure?

Pages 50-51 show all the body colours, and which Roof & Mirror Caps colours are available with each.

It shows that Sparkling Silver is available with all three options.

hmmm, not sure if it would work TBH, would need to see a picture of it, I'm sure black would look better, but that could just be me

Scrogg · Nov 30th, 2006, 08:23 PM

It really isn't a great combination, as I found out whilst doing a handover today, but you can hardly tell someone that's just spent £20k that, can you?

I don't know....... a potential sale of a roof graphic or respray

Hat · Dec 1st, 2006, 07:01 AM

gold & white never really worked so i can't see this combo being any better. it looks good on the configurator with black though

deanquartermaine · Dec 1st, 2006, 07:25 AM

I think Sparking silver is not a great colour full stop, but if I was to have it would have to be with a black roof.

KPKalle · Dec 1st, 2006, 07:39 AM

I think it looks ok from the configurator. Especially with the sunroof

I'm with KP Kalle, I think it looks good with white roof and stripes!!

Miss Marmite · Dec 1st, 2006, 01:57 PM

Mines Sparkling Silver/black and for a while I contemplated sparkling silver/white. But I just dont think the colour is dark enough to carry white. I'm so glad I went with black, I love it and it and so does everyone who has seen it .

mister.t · Dec 1st, 2006, 05:14 PM

IMO I think that because its quite a different colour for a Mini, I think that all over Sparkling silver would look cool. Oh and the full red leather

steeve · Dec 1st, 2006, 06:46 PM

I think it will look pretty good......

Weird - those pictures are almost exactly what I've ordered: Sparkling Silver, black roof, badgeless, white indicators, park distance control and Bi-Xenon headlamps. I've got smaller wheels though...

I am a proud owner of a MCS Sparkling Silver with White Sunroof, White Side Mirrors and White Rims and must say it looks very neat. My only concern now is to whether add those additional spot lights.

Sparkling Silver in the Mini brochure does not stand out, even the dealers sample colour plates does not do justice. the colour has to be seen in reality to be appreciated!

I have an '07 MC SS/W with white bonnet stripes and sunroof.
