Also have the piano black bar on the dash---the no cost one! Had dealer install temp and relative torque gauges. Have appointment wednesday for dealer to install GP2 diffuser. Took a while to get the parts!

Oh I must add, out of all the cars I've ever owned (a lot) I've never been pulled over as much as I have with either MINI.

The last time I got pulled over it was for having too much fun driving. He let me off with just a warning

I vote for Chili Red and Black with black rims. That's the combo I would have bought if I had found one at my price range with the options I wanted. I bought used. I ended up buying a solid Pepper White and I'm happy with it. Where I live and travel, it doesn't seem to get as hot inside. I think someone mentioned it is the most common color but I actually have seen only a handful where I live. Here in Dubai where I am at currently, I see quite a few. In fact, I drove by the dealer here today and they had a row of them! Maybe that is where they are all going?

Here is mine on a trip to Santa Fe...



Not a bad "color" but definitely lacking in "personality".

I was thinking about doing a red top in Chili Red vinyl for a change. After seeing yours, I just might do it just for something different.

All of the colors can look great if they're done right, but CR/Black FTW!

I went Black with Red roof and I love it. Wish I had skipped the sunroof just so there'd be more of that hot red roof.

Also went with leatherette seats and I'm completely shocked by how nice they are.

Colour is an entirely personal choice. If it were left to me I'd have got a Pepper White with a red roof. The wife didn't want a red roof, so we compromised on Spice Orange and a black roof, which was my second choice.

I like the Cloth/Leather seats.

Hi All, we have two Cooper S's, one is a 2003 BRG with white roof, and our other one is a new to us, 2005 JCW in Grey with Black roof with black rims, the pics attached were taken the day we took delivery.
