Looks good.

I had a hard time deciding between one that matched the black of the top or contrasted and matched the silver of the car. I opted for the latter because I found this perforated one on e-bay that matches the silver for about 80 bucks and installed it myself.

Unlike a lot of other people, I like the open feel of the sunroof and did not want to eliminate it, only shade it a bit more. From the inside you can easily see the sky with the roof closed on mine.

I was concerned about that too with my roof graphic because I also like the open feel of the sunroof. The black you see on mine, is actually the tinted glass on my sunroof, so the sun still shines through and the view is not completely blocked, but it is blocked in the places where I had the worst problems with glare.

I spent more money than I should have on it, but given that it has held up really well through the snow storms this year and the rain and wind, I have no major complaints, though I wish I'd been informed a bit better about care of the graphic before I drove home with it.

lacning74,

Nice parking job!

From the side, it looks like your MINI looks exactly like my Phantom. See my gallery for other pics of Phantom (you might still have the chrome grill, which I swapped out). Love the triple pure silver (body, roof, mirrors)!

Has anyone considered Lounge Hot Chocolate interior to go with Pure Silver? I just ordered a new Pure Silver Clubman, and was slightly tempted to go with the Hot Chocolate. I chickened out though, and went with the Lounge Carbon instead.

If anyone has a pic of PS w/ HC interior, I would love to see it.
