Okey dokey folks, I've been wondering.

Red/White exterior goes best with black, or red half leather interior?

hmmm...

lol · Feb 12th, 2002, 12:45 PM

I personally would have the black interior on the red/white cooper.

I really like the read interior but somehow i feel the door panels clash (more of a burgundy). Me personally couldnt live with that.

It would be really nice if you could oder red/black seats with the black door panels. Just my opinion though.

Regards,

lol

I'd go for black too. The red interior isn't the same red and I thought it didn't look quite right.
I went for black, very classy

monsta · Feb 12th, 2002, 12:55 PM

Red half leather... Mmmm.

smiffy · Feb 12th, 2002, 02:53 PM

Black as it doesnt show the dirt so much

But red leather with a Silver car....now your talkin

cmt · Feb 12th, 2002, 03:23 PM

red half leather. I ordered it on my first (red/white) Cooper. And I've ordered it on my second (Black.white) Cooper.

I reckon the 1/2 leather black looks better than the full leather.
My mate has a red chilli cooper with the 1/2 leather, it looks wicked!
I aint a fan of the red interior

Paul · Feb 13th, 2002, 02:34 AM

Hmm, it's pretty close so far.

I like silver with red, but share some of your reservations when red meets red...

MrCooper · Feb 13th, 2002, 03:40 AM

I like the red interior with a red car - it doesn't clash, its just a different shade. But I'm biased cause its what I've got!

orie's_mini · Feb 13th, 2002, 05:47 AM

i have a silver exterior with red half leather interior WOW!
for a red exterior, i would still go for the half leather red/black interior!!! guess i am personally loud!

dcfkan · Feb 13th, 2002, 03:40 PM

I believe silver and black is very classy, goes well with my grey and black hair!!!

kcmini · Feb 18th, 2002, 06:41 PM

Is the red exterior the only one that gets a color option? I was lately leaning towards the Indie Blue/white with black interior. The red interior with the red exterior has got me curious.

Paul · Feb 18th, 2002, 07:26 PM

This was personal interest question.

If I cant use the site to help me make decisions every know again I've got no chance, the ditherer I am!

kcmini · Feb 19th, 2002, 12:33 AM

Sorry Paul. Not trying to make it harder on you. But damn this mini. Too many cool options and I can't find any I don't like.

WOW!!!

Paul · Feb 19th, 2002, 08:30 AM

Yes, not really helping my decision!

MrCooper · Feb 19th, 2002, 02:28 PM

Tell you what - compromise. Ask if you can get the red and black seats with the black door cladding - my only problem with the red interior is that the doors can be a bit much (I think the seats outweigh any of that). This might make the red a bit classier

yet retain the fun element of the red.

If not - RED!

Ginola · Feb 19th, 2002, 03:42 PM

I have the red/white exterior with the black half leather interior. I did consider the red interior but for some reason a little voice in the back of my head said "go for black"

I dont know whether i thought it was more 'classy' or whether i was to chicken to go for something a little more unusual.

Though call though
