Based on the popularity of blackout gear, I'd guess black is even faster than silver.

All I can Say is wow...
Easy Install. Took less than 10min, that's w/tucking away allremote wiring...... Discrete placement so not to stand out so much.
Test drive was impressive.
3 Modes: Off/Green (Sport)/Red (Race)
Green w/o Sport button on = Crisp throttle
Red w/o Sport button on = more responsive than stock w/Sportbutton on
Green and Red w/Sport Button on was fun as hell. Red was abit too scary for the Wifey, LOL...
Also, noticeable increase in BOV sound. Maybe due to the throttleopening quicker, not sure.
Cant wait til next Mod, Intercooler resonator delete
Laters...

Installed on my 2012 Countryman S Black Checkered Side Scuttles and the Black Line headlight and taillight trim pieces. 
Next on my list, 2013 updated interior and MINI LED Fog/DRL.

Yup...
Mod is in the title. A bit expensive, but will wake up your throttle experience

No titles on Android app, but I was on a desktop browser earlier; just happened to overlook it.

Wow. That's a full 12mpg better than my best tank, which was mostly highway.

I'd like it better all chrome, but that would also be a more intensive swap. As it is, with the amount of unavoidable black on the car, I don't mind the mixture.
And yeah, the dash is pretty awesome.
I have mixed feelings about this addition, St_G. I'm not sure if I like the half chrome and half black look or whether it should be all chrome. Thanks for distracting me by including your Mini Yours dash option in the photo. I'm still wishing that the there was a MINI Yours Toffee edition.

I chose to install a FMIC, port and polish the head , ceramic coat all the turbo heat shields, the exhaust manifold, upgrade to a KO4 turbo from GPOP, ceramic coat the valves, intake and exhaust ports , new timing chain and Guides, AEM intake and a down pipe. Tune TBD after its together again. Outside of camshafts, did I forget anything with the motor ? I'm on disability for 3 more weeks and I got a case of tinker with its.
