Color questions (exterior and interior)

So it looks like you can't get the white mirrors without getting the white wheels? I don't want white wheels!

Also, it looks like the Lapis Blue leather isn't available on the convertible? What the heck? I think the blue would look great with the Hyper Blue...

Any comments?

The Lapis blue seats are a different color blue from Hyper blue. Non matching blues don't look good.

None of the show cars had this combo, and aparently some dealer ordered one, and the person who saw it said it looked awful.

Magic 8-ball was correct. All be in awe of Magic 8 ball.

Makes sense to me. Why would want white mirrors when they were the only external bit that was white? Body color looks much better with silver wheels

I like the white mirrors. It looks better with the hard top in white too, but I still think it would look good on the convertible without the white wheels...

Oh well. Not too big a deal.

Order white replacement caps from your dealer and install them yourself:

I went for these mirrors which look great with the white bonnet strips, I think the white mirrors would look good with the bonnet strips like mine, or even better if Mini did stars and strips mirrors for our friends across the pond
