"Classiest" MINI?

What's the classiest looking MINI you've seen? Not ghetto, but lowered, good tires, a little chrome. Lemme see them.

Each person has their own definition of class. Define what class means to you and then maybe people can post pictures of what fits that description

Exactly true. Honestly, the use of the word "ghetto" as an adjective really annoys me. I think it's condescending and stereotypical. However, if we're looking for an example of a classy MINI, I have to agree that the Goodwood cars are definitely classy.

For what it's worth, Sapphire, my 2012 Countryman (non-S) is pretty classy too. She's Cosmic Blue/White with silver wheels and nice dark window tint. Inside, she has the Polar Beige color Line and Carbon Black Lounge Leather. I've even added some extra chrome trim (on top of the chrome line interior).

Can we see Sapphire?

The Goodwood, hands down, is the classiest.

But the Highgate package is very nice too...

With the wood is definable classic RR, with the CF it gives it a little sport maybe a little more Bentley Sport like. The interior after seeing it in person is very impressive in the Goodwood.

I think carbon fibre would be wrong in the Goodwood. The Piano Black is just right.

How about this beauty?

Classic R50 look with lots of chrome, painted in British Racing Green with a solid white roof (because rally car!), "holey" wheels with Panther Black and Cordoba Beige leather interior.

To me, nothing says "MINI" like this one.

So much so, it looks just like one of the stock photos that MINI USA released when the R50 debuted over here. It's a look that is classy to them as well.
