Mini Cooper s colour

Hi.

I am brand new to this forum.

I AM going to get a new MCS and have been going through all the mind blowing decisions re spec etc.

I have narrowed down my colour to Dark Silver and am now driving myself mad as to whether it should have a black roof or a white roof.

Only thing is........the white wing mirrors would need to be changed if I went for the white roof etc etc....

Please help me Black or White.

Please don't confuse me with anything else or I swear I wont be able to go to sleep.

Cheers

Getting the mirror caps changed is a simple thing.
Just ask the dealership for a spare set in the colour you require, it won't break the bank!
I'm sure you could persuade them to fit for free too!

I agree with Bo2007 - for me, the black roof seems to suit the dark silver colour better. You could always do what I have done and go for dark silver with black roof and chrome mirror caps!

Dark Silver with Black is a combination.

Wow...this forum is great....quick and meaningful replys. Yup Dark Silver and black is beginning to take my fancy.

Thanks for the welcome and good advice.

No doubt I will be asking more questions in the future.

It's a Mini Adventure.

I'd go for a white roof and bonnet stripes for a dark silver MINI - I don't think the black bonnet stripes are as noticeable as white stripes on a dark silver car.

I totally agree with MINI&MERCGUY above, white is more classic, more MINI and the bonnet stripes will simply show off better.
I vote DS/W because that is

Welcome to the forum

I was in the same situation as you a couple of months ago...but when I saw black roof on the dark silver I just couldn't say no. It's most defo the best combo (well that's just my opinion).
