Help me spec my next mini cabrio

About to leave my 2005 MCSCa BRG for a new 2010 MCSC?

First choice, colour: leaning heavily toward horizon blue with chili red the runner up.

If I choose the blue, I'd go with the malt leather interior but then I'm stuck on the color line for the interior. I've tried the horizon blue and the oak wood. Not sure I'm sold on either. Ideas?

I'm going with just about every option including all four packages and navi. I'm leaning against upgrading the bluetooth. Is the arm rest wiring worth it for my iPhone?

It will have to be another auto so my wife can drive it if need be.

Any other thoughts on the spec?

TIA,
Tony

Here's my Clive, just got him last week:



I chose the Hot Chocolate Lounge Leather interior and Hot Chocolate droptop. Also got the Horizon Blue color line interior. It's a really striking combination, especially offset with the black dash, gearshift, etc.

I also purchased the iPhone armrest wiring but I have a Blackberry (planning to get an iPhone next year). I use the Bluetooth integration for my phone today and really like it. Voice control works quite well.

I did all of the packages and pretty much every option except JCW and I love everything about this car.

I can take more pix of the interior if you'd like.

You have good taste That looks almost exactly what I'm thinking about. You could take a pic of the interior with the HB colour line?

Thanks,
Tony

Thanks Mystic, gotta me just about convinced. I've almost decided to go with an aero kit too. BTW, the other car I'm considering is a S5 cabrio.
