What colour trim?

[chilipack]

Hi guys, the car is now ordered and wont be made till Jan ish as its going to be a march 08' - its going to be a very long and hard wait but think its well worth it!

Im at a bit of a hurdle though - i have opted the lea lounge black leather which for me is a must as i love the sophistication of the white piping! i also have the chrome line interior - however im not sure whether to keep the piano black (as it makes the cabin dark and dull imo and so iv been told wears badly showing all marks) question is.....if i upgrade to the brushed alloy will it a) make my interior lighter and brighter b) clash with the chrome line interior c) clash with the lea lounge seats d) get rid of the chrome line (which i been told by every mini owner is a must extra) e) clash with everything?

My dealer recommended that I don't get the fluid silver as its very similar to the one and cooper standard and would spoil the interior of the S

twhat do I do? im very temped to go for the chrome line interior, and the brushed alloy?

peoples thoughts much appreciated

I went in thinking I'd order the chrome interior, and ended up with brushed alloy without the chrome interior. IMH brushed alloy looks better without the chrome

I went for fluid silver, dark grey colour line and the punch leather, looks great IMO. The fluid silver is a very close match to the silver plastic on the steering wheel. The brushed alloy looks rubbish to me, but hey everyone is different!

Leather Lounge (Carbon Black, Cream Pipiing), Chromeline, interior trim in Piano Black and colour line in Cream White works for me. Not the best close-up shot but I think it looks damn hot

I'm getting mine with standard chequered trim and cream colour line. I was a bit unsure at first, but after seeing some pics, it looks good. I'm not a fan of the 'shiney' piano black, I think it looks a bit chincy. The money I saved went towards LSD.
