If you look at the last 4 photos at this link, you'll get a good idea what it will look like.................a lot like SPACE BLUE which was available on 1st gen MINIs.

I found the following pretty cool from the article linked above (there's a picture at the site, but I couldn't pull a link because its inside a flash slideshow):
Every minute counts: the Openometer.
The new MINI Convertible is also available with an optional, very special new feature highlighting the thrill of driving in the open air. Positioned to the left of the rev counter, the Openometer specifies precisely, down to the last minute, how long the driver and passengers have enjoyed their car with the roof down.
This special instrument is activated once the driver starts the engine of the MINI Convertible and the soft top is fully open. An analog indicator moving on a scale from 0 – 60 then counts the time spent driving in the open air in minutes. After one hour of such driving pleasure, the indicator moves back to its starting point and the first LED light on a six-light scale will come on within the circular instrument. In all, therefore, the Openometer is able to present an overall driving period in the open air of 6 hours and 59 minutes.
The period spent driving with the roof open is also determined by the on-board computer, an indicator in the lower section of the rev counter allowing the user to check out both an interim reading and the overall time spent driving in the open air. And like on a trip counter, the driver is able to re-set the interim result whenever he wishes.
The Openometer is a truly unique instrument clearly expressing—in straightforward facts and figures—the exceptional pleasure of driving the MINI Convertible with the roof down. Indeed, it prompts the driver and passengers to enjoy the thrilling features of everyday traffic as often as they can. And at the same time it symbolizes the invitation by the MINI Convertible to enjoy a particularly appealing driving experience.
With all these qualities and features, this innovative instrument raises the style and character of this open four-seater to yet another charming highlight: The MINI Convertible is the ideal companion for the motorist who seeks thrilling, open-air motoring at all times and wishes to enjoy these special moments in a style that only MINI can offer.
