Alloy Patina and Chrome Line Interior?

Will the Chrome line interior look good with alloy patina? Does anyone have this and can show pics? Or would it be better to leave the silver trim rings with the ap?

Yes....yes....yes!!!!

I've seen it in person (MCC demonstrator) but no pics. Looks fantastic....no, better........scrumptious!!! Alloy Patina = elegant, refined. Chrome trim = the same. Get it, you'll love it. I know I would.

Thanks jds, I am thinking about black mcs, chrome line ext., with lapis blue leather and the alloy patina, w/chrome line interior, gray viper stripes. Worried about keeping the black clean and swirl free though?

I also like the hyper blue, I wonder how that would look with the same interior. Probably easier to keep clean? I know I don't like the lapis blue leather with HB dash, doesn't match well. Lots of decisions.

Won't be ordering till after the new year so plenty of time to keep changing my mind

Its good you're taking great care to sort out all your options. The most fantastic looking MINIs, imo, took some plannning, especially when combining interior colors/finishes in unexpected ways. Every alloy patina interior (or athracite for that matter) I've ever seen looks utterly fantastic! The standard silver is more upbeat and fun, and the body-colored dashes are even more so. But a.p. is very, very elegent, imo.
