Calling it PW/PW or all PW conjures a very monotonic appearance.

The car is so beautifully sculpted so there is no lack of visual interest what ever color you choose. There are plenty of contrast from the black pillars, the dark window glass, and the wheel fairings to set off the PW nicely.:smile:

The PWs often looks much better in person than a digital photo as it tends to cause blow out due to the dynamic range limitations. It is possible to take a good picture but requires very careful lighting, aperture, and shutter control. Most of my pictures didn't turn out too well except those taken with the cloud cover when the Mini was being unloaded.

I agree that it's tough to capture this beautiful color in a photo.
I have had people tell me that Mrs. Peel was one of the 'classiest'
Minis they had ever seen. I'll take that!

I think that PW/PW is the best color combo. I would have ordered it if it were available for an "S" in '03. Look up Robyn (AKA Bag Lady) in marketplace if you want a tire bag to hold your donut. She does really good work!

Those are all the accessories goodies:
alarm kit
left over 05 tail lamp
space saver tire and wheel (Classic didn't put them together for me )
exterior cover
fog lamp kit

I will drop the bag lady a line soon about a bag for my donut.

you make me so very happy

I'm sitting here waiting and waiting on my pw/b and still wavering on whether I really wanted the traditional red so I just stalk these forums staring at photos. Thanks so much for posting yours. I think I'm good with my choice. And it's too late to change now- she'll be finished production monday!!! God knows how long after that it'll be before she hits this island.. but still, it's good to see a few in the flesh. I thought there was a chrome strip across the front that I dont' see on yours... am I thinking of something else?

The chrome strip only goes on Coopers, copysquirl. Is that what you're getting? This is so weird...the '05s showing up left and right and still no configurator on the MINI web site. Not complaining....just weird.

What's the price on the space saver tire and wheel from Classic?
