The drama of choosing a color continues. I just can not decide what color to get in a cooper s.

Pepper white is landing in the country very soon. However it is extremely unpopular here and I have only seen one Cooper.

I am thinking of getting something really different. A pepper white with a chequered roof. Anyone have any pics of their pepper white cooper dressed like that? I imagine that the white in the roof decal is a more pure white rather than the color of the car - is there a special decal for pepper white cars so the white matches? If I decide to get this is it better to get a black roof or a body coloured roof?

Thanks for any advice.

Cooperflags can do custom designs with the checkerboard flags. Body color, white or black roofs are no problem.
I've seen some really nice CR/W MCS with checkerboard and S roofs so it could be done with a pepper white MCS with body colored or Black roof.

I think lugnutz has a PW w/checks (pure white). Don't know if he's in the gallery. He recently posted a photo of his new wheels on the Roadfly board.

The "best you could come up with"? Hey, what am I, chopped liver?

Here's another pic of the car (before the wheel change) Your whites are whiter (cue Tide jingle). To solve this order a solid PW mini & install black checks! easy peasy! Unless you want a sunroof. I have one and put solid checks over the glass.

Nope, they're American Eagle/MSR #116 17x7 with Falken FK-451 215-45-17s



not apparent from the pics is that the racing hart is silver painted spokes and the MSR's are machined finish spokes.

Thanks! I'm pretty happy with the change. I got the wheel design idea from janspeed.com where they have BBS rims on their mod'd Cooper:

We are currently producing a Pepper White/Black checkerboard with sunroof for a customer in Hong Kong right now. I will beg and plead for pictures of this installed.

We have produced a PW/Navy/Burgundy Union Jack that matched the pepper white car wonderfully.

For another customer with a Pepper White/Black roof we produced a Pepper White Peace Symbol for the top of her car.
