The other colors I saw had the Checkmate interior, so they were probably real. I've seen the Checkmate A panel graphic on BRG and it looked good. Would you go with the Checkmate hood stripe, too? Side checkers are about $40/side and the hood stripe is about $160.

Every single car on the road is going to have a driver so why prevent them from having some protection from UV and heat? Cops say it's so they can see into your car for their safety, but cops from most other states don't seem to have an issue with it.

I've got the standard black stripes from the factory, I would consider a stripe change.

As long as you're not causing any unwanted attention. I don't see why LEO's would give you any problems.

I might eventually get 3M Crystaline on the front. $$$ though.

BRG. Even got a BRG roof to be "different."
2nd favourite is Velvet Red. Not too many of them around, though.

The BRG roof is a very nice touch! Sets off the car

LOL, mdaz75. Know what you mean. BTW, love the hood stripes. I may have to add those to my R53.

Even tho my current MINI is spice orange I still like the pepper white on my previous R56 the best. That color with black contrasts is da bomb.

Plus, I live on a gravel road and PW still looks somewhat "clean" even when covered in dust.

Thanks... mostly a lucky shot. Fresh snow and White Silver color did it pretty much. Was getting ready to take the roadster out for a battery maintenance ride. Temperature was down in the single numbers (much like right now) and the roads were dry, so the Roadster stayed clean.
