silver or white FIN wheels on red cooper?

iHello All,

I've got a facelift mini cooper on order and have until friday next week to change my options.

The car's going to be Chilli red with white roof/mirrors + the new FIN 7spoke 16" wheels...but I can't decide whether to have them silver or painted white. None of the brochures I've trawled thru show a good side on view of this colour combination - does anyone know where I can find some?

Also umming and arring about manual or automatic air con - any advice much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Nick

The white wheels look great for the first minute after being washed. But drive your MINI around the block and they're dirty. As for the AC, I have no problem reaching for the knob to turn the AC on when I do. The Auto AC is just another electronic gizmo to go hay wire a few months after the warranty ends.
