Nope - no luck - the guy just tooko some quick pics at Hank Aaron. If I am down there, I'll snap a few as well for my scrap book.

By the way - I have about 20 Pepper White pics on my computer at work - because of firewall issues, I am not able to upload as well as I like, but I do have several.

Blue,
Thanks for posting the pic...... I'm here....
Don't know about the Pepper White gallery (might make the other colors jealous ) but I can gather some Pepper white pics for the Cooper Gallery. I'll try to put together a few in the next day or two.
Also.... you said that you have several PW pics on your computer... Will the firewall allow you to email them? If so.... send them to me at Sfiveten@northamericanmotoring.com and I'll get them posted. If not, no worries. I will still be in search of some PW pics.
I'll keep you all posted.

Thanks for the effort, I have become alot more comfortable with my choice of Pepper White since seeing all the pictures and links provided by members of this forum.
In my minds eye I felt this was a sharp color with the Black Roof and mirrors even though I probably won't see one in person until mine arrives. I have been eyeing the blacked out radiator grill in the accessories catalog as well, but will wait for the car to arrive before I make any further changes. :smile:

SW - no luck on your email at Sfiveten@northamericanmotoring.com. I am getting a bounce back - let me test again with no attachments.

Blue,
Don't know..... We may be haveing some problems with the email addy due to the migration. Hopefully this will all be finished in the next day or so and all will be back to normal.
For right now you can send them to Sfiveten@charter.net
I know this email works..... as I get about 150 emails a day from this site alone.
Also don't worry about files size or what have you..... I'm on a highspeed setup so there shouldn't be any problem with that.

Jimbo,
I'm sure you will be very happy with the Pepper White. I've seen it in person and agree with the trend here..... Very Nice! As for the accessories..... I'll have a little treat for you in a bit. I've been playing with the pics that we have so far and I think you will like what I've done. I'll get that posted in just a bit.
SW

Pepper White S
Pepper White Cooper Aero...

I added the Aero kit to both..... On the S, I made a somewhat shady attempt at the hood scoop. err. I added the grill as well. The hardest part was getting the color to match as the Bumper cover was borrowed from a red cooper.

The above S didn't come out as well as I hoped. I may play with this some more in the next day or two. I really like the Cooper though. Let me know what you think.

Well, we also jumped in the "Pepper White" bandwagon and put an order for a '02 Cooper in this color with contrasting Black roof and mirror caps. This color is splendid! And I agree with what some have said here...pictures don't do Pepper White any justice. In order to appreciate the qualities of this color, you have to see it in person. It is gorgeous!

Originally we wanted a Velvet Red Metallic Cooper with White roof and Mirrors. But when we finally saw it in person, we got turned off by the overly dark shades of this paint. Don't get me wrong...Velvet Red is a very beautiful color (And rare at that) but not the best choice if you live in FL. The dealer had a demo Pepper White with Black Roof and we were pretty impressed by the depth and richness of the finish. My wife hates white cars and I was not expecting to get a white Cooper as I had previously owned 2 white Acuras. But we were sold! This is not your everyday white paint finish, no way!

If you want a color that will wear better in time than the "Trendy" colors and also ensure some uniqueness for your MINI, I highly recommend taking a closer look at the Pepper White MINI Cooper models.

I ordered my pepper white MINI about a month ago with sunroof and chrome detail. I also got the soft cordoba tan leather interior. I think it is going to look awesome. I can't wait!!!
