Best color combos and what options can you do without?

I am going to be ordering a Mini Cooper S coupe within the next month and am having a hard time choosing a color combination as everyone I look seems great. So - what color combinations does everyone like the best? Also, I am debating about the sport package. I will only be putting 7,500 - 10,000 miles per year on the car in mostly local driving, but I like to drive aggressively. Should I go with the sport suspension? And what other options are truly ones that people think are necessities. Thanks for the help and happy holidays to everyone.

I dug this link out from a few weeks back:
https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...d.php?t=121572

You can also find a ton of pictures here and other sites. I must have spent a week doing nothing but looking at pics of MINIs and then decided on a fairly subtle color combo PS/B w/B bonnet stripes. I don't think it looks the best but it suits me the best. You should decide if you really want to pay for metallic paint. If not you can save some money and reduce your color choices.

Try to drive sport suspension and non sport. I ordered the Sport package without driving it first but knew I wanted the stiffer ride and DSC.

Hmmm, if you order both front and rear fog lights, you'll use every toggle switch. I'd hate to have a blank toggle switch area!

hi! I decided to do without any options except for the multi-function steering wheel. For color choice i just went with what was already on its way - Chili Red w/ White top. My MCS is due this week!

I like all colors so by picking an MCS I didn't have to wait long for, I eliminated one decision step.
(I also haven't picked a name- but that will happen after I meet the little pup!)
