As many of you already know, I recently had to sell my Dark Silver/White Euro-spec MCS in Mexico due to the fact that I'm moving to the U.S. in under a month.

I'm already on the waiting list for a 2004 MCS in the States, but I'm undecided as to whether or not I should get another identical DS/W MINI, or if maybe I should get something a little different this time around.
Don't get me wrong, I love the color and would gladly get it again, it just seems that everywhere you look there's another DS/W MCS popping up and let's just say that the combo isn't quite as "unique" as it could be.

So now I've been hearing rumors of Pepper White being a possibilty for the MCS in 2004, and that got the creative juices flowing...

Below are a few images I've created of what my next MINI could look like, provided that Pepper white does indeed become an option for the MCS in '04. I plan on maybe including a little bit of "custom" work..

So my question to all of you is:
Do any of these look good to you? Or should I just stick with another Dark Silver MINI?
Honest opinions are greatly appreciated!

I love the second pic and the bonnet/side stripes looks cool!!!!
That's the one I would get if I plan to get a 2004 model MCS.

Question? Why don't BMW/MINI makes pure white with pure white top.
That is the color that I really wanted. :smile:

Black roof. Like mine!

if i were getting a new mcs, i'd go for #1.

i think the aero kit is very distinctive on PW,
as in #3 the slanted stock grille looks a bit
washed out.

just my opinion...
good luck with your move.

have you decided between l.a. and miami?

cheers,

#1 is very nice, as is #3, I don't really care for the side stripes of #2. #1 might look particularly wicked with a set of aftermarket gloss black wheels. PW in a MCS. Good choice.

Bienvenidos a los EEUU, Calvin.

 

Since the only difference between 1 and 2 is the side stripes, I'd go with either of those. The black aero grill looks nice with PW...especially with that black sunroof. IMO, it would look good with or without the side stripes but hey, why not go with it. 4 stars for working this out so well in Photoshop. (...or similar) Makes decisions so much easier.

 

Try #1 with a Velvet Red roof. It might be nifty. . .

 

I think #2 is foxy! This surprises me, as I generally don't like door embelleshments of any kind, but with the grille, bonnet stripes and PW roof it's awesome! #1 is a close second... but the sidestripes just make it look "finished" I'm not really a fan with the chrome grille and bonnet stripes in #3. I think it's got to be one or the other in that case, but the black is too strong that close to the grille and, as someone else said, washes it out.

Good luck with your decision--whatever you do, I say go for something different than what you've already got!

 

I don´t like pepper white, but I admit I´d actually get picture No.1

It looks awesome! All pepper whites I´ve seen come with a black roof, which I don´t like, but the all white with the black stripes and black grille looks like a mean machine

 

I think #2 is the tops by far. Maybe I'm just a little slow, but I haven't seen side stripes before--is that a dealer option?

 

#1.
Without the rally lights and stripes.
In fact, that may well be my next...+ fogs and Xenons.

 

#2

i'm thinking about side stripes for my DS/B
anybody know who has them on a DS MINI? pic's please?
and who sells them?

 

Those side stripes look oddly familiar... Hmmm.....

 

Pic #1 with Chrome grill, chrome mirrors (chrome looks really good against the PW) and black roof (will hide the sunroof)

I think the PW is gonna be a big hit in the MCS next year

 

They all look way cool!

My personal preference is #1 with the aero kit.
I think the aero kit looks totally cool with PW.
One thing I would personally consider is adding a black roof to your #1 combo.

Sweet!

 

#1 is the most attractive for me anyways.

 

I like the black aero grill against the PW. Good contrast. And I'd go with either bonnet stripes or side stripes, not both.

Actually, I plan on custom making the sidestripes myself out of the same adhesive material that the bonnet stripes are made of. Might play around with the design a little, this is just an initial prototype..

As for the black roof many of you have suggested, I love the look but I'm trying to steer away from it a little because I'm going for a really light appearance and I also want it to look a little different from most of the Pepper White MC's I've seen so far. I like the "Italian Job" look!

 

I like #2
Some ideas.
White top but make it checker board or put a flag or some sort of emblem like the "S".
Side stripes are fine. If you raise the black stripe you might also hide a mid door edge guard.
Aero grilles are very nice with pepper white. Not sure if I like the rally lights.
Black wheels or dark anthracite would be very aggressive- think CP8R or team dynamics pro race 1 in black.
Also chrome wheels would look very good.
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.
Sunroof????

I like the pepper white S- nobody else has it yet. If you really like the pure white then paint it custom- add the side skirts of the aero kit while you are at it- maybe paint the wheel arches gloss black. Very nice.


Black CP8R-
