Yes, it looks a bit darker in real life. I think the sunlight and the angle make it appear lighter.

Very nice car! Our 2012 Clubman S was completed on 8/22 and does not have paddle shifters. Not a problem for us as we really didn't want them after the test drives. Always some surprises when you order early in the model year. Have fun with your new MINI!

Nice dash that I have never seen before. Thx.

Was that a factory Mini option or did you do it yourself with some type of wrap"

Also, do you know if one can buy vent rings in BLACK, like the chrome rings on yours? Stock on mine are silver, but the steering wheel has a GLOSS BLACK ring that I'd like to carry throughout the dash.

the dash was a factory option. it's showing up on the builder as a $250 option, but it's included with the leather seats (i wouldn't have paid for it separately).

i'm not sure about replacement vent rings. i wouldn't mind getting rid of the chrome rings for something that isn't shiny. every time i get a light reflection off of them, i think a warning light has come on...

Glad to hear it. I have had Comet for little over a month. I think I like it more everyday. My comute seems to go smoother and is less frustrating. I hope that part lasts.

Move to Colorado and drive in the mountains. Lots of twisties.

Of course it is a little colder than Florida. But that just means you can play in the snow.
