Pure silver with black vipers....

What do you think? Just came off the phone to the dealer having added black vipers and manual air con to my spec. I have white vipers on my current hard top chili red ONE and I love them. I think with the black roof (that I have ordered on my MCC) you are limited to black vipers on the convertible and black vipers look best with pure silver. I just hope it looks as cool as my chili red ONE with white vipers, hopfully the effect wont be lost with them not being on the roof. So, cool or pants?

Thing is, with that little addition I've pushed the 20k mark I quite simply can't afford that. Now THATS a MINI obsession! They can take my pride but they'll never take my MINI!

PS why don't they do dark silver on the Cooper GRR.

I don't think you could use the word good... maybe, OTT, greedy, rediculous?! I'm a gluton for gadgets, much to my misfortune.

Might as well just scrawl the word camp across the bonnet! Pink and Purple......sounds like something my mam would say when I was little and asking her what colour she was going to make a room when she started decorating.....'Pink and Purple with Polka Dot stripes!'.

Euw.


Black and silver - very slick.

I ordered my mini cooper, pure silver with black stripes and the pictures I've seen look sweet. If you go to www.mini.ca you can build the outside of the car with any color combo andblack or white stripes and see an up close picture.

Those stripes seem to be a bit close together in the center, did you have an option of havign them further apart?

That looks really cool. I decided against the Cool Blue cos I thought that it was a bit girly....I went for silver instead. But with the black stripes it doesn't look girly at all. Made me think twice about my colour....

I think I should stop looking at different colours and just keep my current spec and wait for it to arrive!!!
