Do your Build on the UK MINI website!

Maybe I'm the only one that didn't know about this.
But just in case it can help someone scheming over his/her new mini...

Do yourself a favor and ditch the archaic US website in favor of the amazing UK one.
https://www.mini.co.uk/en_GB/home.html
The options are essentially the same, but you have a million different views available, top up and down for the convertible, lights on and off, colors that are more accurate and less toy like, complete interior 360 view. Interior see through, through the windows and windshield.

The US is at best a far off distant idea of what your car might look one and really works only in conjunction with picture hunting on google and other engines.
Sure the UK is still a computer rendering, but it seems to me so so much more useful. It's in english, and there are no restriction accessing it from US.

It also shows you how amazing it would be without that forced center arm rest.
And it's funny to see the things that are free or the things that are included in the UK models vs US.

Anyway, I ordered mine on Sept 3rd, and I had never found a picture of the particular color combo I chose for my 2017 JCW convertible's interior.

Finally tonight I saw it on the website! Looks as good as i imagined. And now I have something to tease my imagination with, until I get the actual car in about 2 weeks!

Interesting... sucks that the D's still aren't available over here too.

And I can build a Volcanic Orange Clubman there but not here.
