Colour Right choice?

Hi I have just orded a Red MC with Black roof with dark glass, but it seems as though most of you go for the white roof with red. Have I made a wrong choice? and has any one got any good pics of red/black?

Richy....geting woried...but still exited waiting for March....

Prefererence is the traditional White roof combination-Looks awesome with White stripes aswell.
I still like black roof though and that is also mean looking with Black stripes.
Both combo's you can't go wrong

Of the two red options, then that is the best imo
All black is of course the best of the best

I tend to look at the vibe, or personality, I want my MINI to have. Red/white is more cheery...red/black is more serious. Both are good....both are classic. So, technically both will look fantastic.

I'll speculate that, in going w/ the dark tints, that the more serious look appeals to you. Therefore red/black is perfect. First one I ever saw in these colors w/ dark tint had me staring at it for ten-minutes (or so it seemed ). It was stunning.

Ady's mini is what my missus chose...no sunroof and no tinted windows, but exactly the same otherwise, including the wheels. Looks bloody lovely. Quite a few people though "ew" when she told them her choice of colour, but you dont see many around, and it looks quite chunky looking and i prefer it over the white roof.

Mine does have a sun roof, but its by having a black roof. I chose the red/black combo as i have a backgroung in classic minis and its the classic Cooper S look from the 60's. I must have been happy with my choice as all 3 Coopers i have had have all been this combo.
