Any matte (satin) white R53's out there?
Curious to see what one would look like. Google searching and this forum didn't come up with any results :(

Seen matte black, and matte green. Havent seen white.
This MINI is tied with the Laurel editions for best looking MINI ever. Not to mention this company (Nowack) Mods these things up to 260BHP.

Actually cleaning my P/W matte is not that hard, first I just use car shampoo to wash it than for those bug, tar, etc.. i use the turtlewax ICE liquid claybar, it work great and finish with turtlewax ICE liquid polish.
One thing I notice abt the matte paint, you wont get any swirl mark
