Sparkling Silver anyone?

I never see a sparkling silver mini. It seems me and my mom are the only people in SoCal with them. Anybody else out there???

Don't feel alone. It the only MINI that doesn't look like a piece of candy.

Very true, they do kinda all look like candy. That is why our color is the best!

Yeah, I'm here. When the winds blow in SW New Mexico, it's almost like SS camo! This color is clearly the classiest!

I'm here in So Cal. SS with english oak, some piano black and black racing stripes. When I drive around, I get so many people doing double takes. People come up to me in parking lots all the time and ask about my Mini. People think its some sort of green tint to the color. It looks silver to me. Love the color.

That's the beauty of SS. Silver in some lights, champagne or a hint of green/khaki in others. We have the black bonnet stripes, black roof, english oak, custom leathers seats in nutmeg & graphite.

An awesome color. I almost switched my order to SS with white roof and bonnet stripes after seeing pictures of one at the AZ press release of R56. Stuck with BRG, but SS is awesome.

I had a sparkling silver MCS 6 spd loaner for three days and really enjoyed it. A classy color...just like Jet Black! (Washed it twice, too! - lol )
