Cordoba leather or leatherette? Neither! Get the red tartan cloth/leather! With white, it's hotness!

Cream white with a red interior is a classic color combination. You see many '60s European sports cars with this color combination. It looks great.

I love the way the Anthracite R99 wheels look on those on a light colored car.

can you really feel the slites being heavier than the web spokes on day to day driving?

Deffinity get the Lapis Blue int. If not, get the black leatherette. I would get whatever rims come with it then get aftermarkets, with performance tires of course! Good luck with the MINI and take some pics!

You can feel the difference. If you like both wheels equally then choose the lighter Webspokes.

Ordered mine last month and have gone for the web spokes and the recaro sports seats only work out somthing like £300 more if you are already getting full leather and the chilli pack. Mines Hyper blue but first saw them in a pepper white and look well nice. Also i think the web spokes look well nice with the aero body kit which is why i went for them.

the slites look more clean and bigger in size but the webspokes are nice as well its is such a hard choice and the leatherette or cordoba is even harder grrrrrrrrrr I think I am over thinking this one way too much

oh yeah and on my current mini i have Lapis Blue full leather and have treated the seats with leather cleaner every 3months and they've stayed in fine conditions and thats been for 3 and half years now. Oh yeah and the other thing is you get heated seats with the recaro and thats in with the price. Never knew how good they were until i sat in some the other month for the test drive on a very cold day, they warm up so quick.
