See, I think bright and dark colors go well together. I like the contrast.

I think its more interesting than say, a DS/B with dark wheels.

If I had my time back, I would have gone with CR/B. I'd love to get my roof redone in a dark charcoal, but with the spoiler and everything I dont see it happening.

So, I'm just gonna tint the windows and darken the wheels a BIT...not as drastic as in the ps though.

Got a pic compliments of Metroplex MINI..



I like it..and I think it would look even better with a dark-tinted sunroof (like mine) up top to break up most of the white.

Just an idea... http://www.aestheticreations.net/otherroofgraphics.htm#

Check out the "white/black out full roof" section...he does custom colors as well...

Leave the mirror caps and roof, go with the anthracite wheels - it'll be a MC49 kind of look, and will look good. You *might* consider just doung the spokes, making it look like a colored-spoke Panasport, but my photoshop skills aren't even a match for yours so I won't attempt.

I think the anthracite wheels (MC40 color) would look great. I'm not a fan of black wheels though, IMHO a cop-car look unless they're VERY clean and standing still - and while it's a fashion now, it's likely to get "dated" pretty quick. (IMHO, YMMV, one man's opinion, "but it looks good on you, though", and I respect everyone's right to personify their Mini, really I do, etc. etc.)
