United-Kingdom New Cooper spec, opinions!!

I placed my order last week for a cooper to be deliverd in march, here is the spec ive chosen but dealer said i can change it.

Astro black
Leather Gravity Tuscan beige
Int world tuscan beige
Creme white colour line
Piano black
Chili paack
Auto aircon
17" Crown spoke
DSC
Heated mirrors/washer jets
Chrome int.
Visibility pack
Darkend rear glass
Driving lamps
White ind lenses

What do you think? I saw the black with tuscan leather in the show room and thought it looked stunning, i know its high maintenance but i dont do many miles and look after my cars well. Would appreciate comments!!!

Will be a very nice looking car. Like you say, keeping the interior clean is a possible disadvantage but if you look after it well i doubt you'd have a problem. For me, i can make do with manual aircon and heated mirror/washers seem a bit of an extravagance but other than that i think that's a great spec! If you're having a black car with chrome interior i would add chrome exterior - think it would make it look a bit 'classier'!

I think most folk agree optimum handling with 16" wheels , but of course some folk really like the look of 17's. It could liberate a spot of cash to spend on something fun.

otherwise Enjoy, sounds like an excellent spec.

My other love, apart from Mrs Beast

Sounds fantastic. It should be a real classy interior. The cream line may be quite a bit lighter than the biege though, not sure if it matters but you might want to have a look to make sure. It does say it is a recommended combo in the brochure so maybe I'm havering!

cooper

yeh that initially put me off that the colour line was a lighter creme than the seats but after many visits to the mini gardge every time i sat in it it felf like that it wasnt an issue, i think its because its contrasts slightly with the seats. Very excited can't wait!

Great spec - but a multi function steering wheel as mentioned is a must. I have cream colour line and piano black and it is very classy indeed.
