Thanks for the advice!

My doubt is now between Astro Black and BRG... Inside, I will choose leather, but not the OEM leather. At a dealer in Belgium (near Ghent), I have seen the most fabulous leather seats I have ever seen for a Mini! It's an interior trim, with choices between many leather (nappa) and alcanthara colors (or a combination of these two). The price is the same as the OEM gravitiy leather (if only the seats are done, without the roof lining, dash or door panels)! Actually, the seats would then almost look like these in the Wagon / Woody Mini's from Castagna in Milan (castagnamilano.com or w ww.classicdriver.com/upload/images/_de/2183/img04pop.jpg for a picture of such seats). In that way, I can choose from leather colors that would fit perfectly with the exterior.

I scrapped the Pepper White. Actually, the Mini looks really good in this color (I would have to buy a white car, a surely would buy the Mini!). But after thinking a while, it's not a color I would buy myself.

I also scrapped the Lightning Blue. It's a great color. But it doesn't match with the English Oak panels and I would like to have it darker to have a classic look... So: blue is nice, but lighning blue isn't classic enough.
