United-Kingdom Sparkling silver, white roof?

Hey All,

I'm looking at getting an R56 cooper, and trying to nail down my spec,

does anyone know whether you can get a sparkling silver cooper with a white roof?

Sparkling silver is only in the brochure available with black and body coloured roof, but on the configurator you can spec it????

It's available on the configurator and that's pretty much my preferred choice. If we stay with Sparkling Silver

Which brochure?

Pages 50-51 show all the body colours, and which Roof & Mirror Caps colours are available with each.

It shows that Sparkling Silver is available with all three options.

It really isn't a great combination, as I found out whilst doing a handover today, but you can hardly tell someone that's just spent £20k that, can you?

I think Sparking silver is not a great colour full stop, but if I was to have it would have to be with a black roof.

I think it looks ok from the configurator. Especially with the sunroof

Mines Sparkling Silver/black and for a while I contemplated sparkling silver/white. But I just dont think the colour is dark enough to carry white. I'm so glad I went with black, I love it and it and so does everyone who has seen it .

IMO I think that because its quite a different colour for a Mini, I think that all over Sparkling silver would look cool. Oh and the full red leather
