#2 like the I.J. but with the stripes on the side, it's not. Stick with the black Aero grille.

>>I like #2
>>Some ideas.
>>White top but make it checker board or put a flag or some sort of emblem like the "S".

I thought about the checkerboard, I just have to find a sunroof-friendly decal because I plan on getting the sunroof again.

>>If you like the all white look then white wheels are an option. What about interior color- can choose cordoba leather or make it all black with anthracite dash/door-looks literally black inside.

As for the interior, we'll have to wait and see what MINIUSA offers if indeed they start making a Pepper white "S". Cordoba leather would look fantastic, and Lapis Blue (if offered) might look pretty good too. Panther black would of course match nicely but I find it a little less exciting.

Anthracite would be the most striking choice, but I'd have a hard time giving up the Alu-patina that I grew so fond of in my previous MINI.

Great suggestions and opinions so far from everyone!! Thanks!!

NEW ENTRY:

Here's a PW MCS with a PURE WHITE top and mirrors, "Italian Job" style.

Too bad MINIUSA probably won't allow this combinaton, and I'm not a big fan of the idea of an aftermarket paint job on the roof of a brand new car...
Oh well..
