I voted red, but cosmic blue is a nice color.
Yes, you can order anthracite headliner.
If you go with beige leather or beige color line, the standard headliner works well. If you go with another interior color, the anthracite headliner would be something to look into.

I see some plastidip in your future to black out the headlights and taillight trim.

 

Back in Autumn 2011, when I was trying to decide which colour is the best for my Countryman, I was in Germany for a few days. I tried to find as many Countrymans as possible. The weather was bad, streets were dark, wet and dirty and thanks to this conditions, I almost didn't notice Cosmic Blue Countryman parked just next to me. This situation repeated again, when I saw some dark Countrymans driving around me.

My advice- Cosmic Blue is a beautiful color on a clean, shiny car and under the clear sky (or in a dealership). But when the weather isn't the best possible and you car is dirty, it looks...normal (and you know that MINI is NOT NORMAL).

Go and get red and your days will be brighter, that's my advice!

 

lets put it this way. my old man has a 356 that is very similar to pure red,its a beautiful color. however, for the price i payed for my absolute black, im happy with it. if it was my choice i would have had the cosmic blue, its just a much easier color to live with than the red.

THINK INSURANCE TOO!

i also think red looks cheap so this is a very biased post

 

I vote blazing red. I would also get the polar beighe color line and the standard polar beige headliner then set the interior lighting to red.

 

Car color has no effect on your insurance rates. For that matter, the idea that red cars get pulled over more is also an urban legend.
