>>Robert, that all Indi blue 'S' is sweet dude. When I ordered my MCS I was deciding on an all Indi blue 'S' or a Dark Silver 'S'. But being that the Indi wasn't available in the 'S' model at the time, I took the next choice. But man, that really is snazzy. Good choice.
>>As far as the 'classic' look goes, I'm not worried about that. Go with whatever ya like. Didn't think the history of the Mini should dictate what should look good for the car. The white roof on most colors takes away from the rest of the car. Almost like it doesn't belong or is unfinished.
>>To each their own.
>>Cheers,
>>Thanks for the compliment. I had to wait 6 months for that sweety and it was rhe longest 6 I've ever done. Yet well worth it. Thanks again, Pick

>>SG/SG - Should be here in February!

I want to see some pics when you get your MINI, Peng! That's one combo I have yet to see....(also solid Velvet Red. I bet that would look cool.... )

Wow!! that is awesome!! Where did you get the chrome mirrors? Were they and option on the S? They really look good!! Great choice!

Mine is all Pepper White; chrome detail; premium; 15" 8 spoke-- love it!! I have had so many compliments on it. Really like the classic look.
Since I'm planning to order an 03 with cloth seats, and was thinking of an S, have had a hard time finding a color I like near as much as the all Pepper White. I may end up ordering another Pepper White (with 16" and the HK stereo).

 

Right now I'm on order for the Velvert red/black, but these days I'm seriously thinking about going for tha all velvet red. I think it's the only one I've never seen. I am getting a sunroof though, and I do like the way the black roof conceals it.

What do you all think?

I'm definitely open to oppinions/suggestions

 

what art nerds do when they really should be getting work done:


ps mcallen hope you don't mind I used your pic, it's just such a lovely one!

My all Pepper White with chrome accents is supposed to have
a build date of 12/6 - today! I can't wait for Mrs. Peel to get
here some time next month. I'm envious every time I see
a MINI on the road & I've never really been a "car person" before
this!

 

Aloha - this is our first posting. Have been reading the forum for a few weeks now, but felt the need to respond. We ordered a VR with matching roof, sports pkg, Kaliedo black with grey panel and Anthrysite (SP) interior. IS GOING TO LOOK SWEET!!! Should be here in 4-5 months. Tough waiting, though. My b-day was a couple days ago. Was a MINI b-day. Three model cars, keychain, and bucket hat. I'm a lucky girl!! Loved the VR with sunfoof. (Kohu 'ula means matching red in Hawaiian)

Welcome to the site and Happy Belated Birthday! I can only recommend that for the next 4-5 months you visit us frequently to learn a lot more about your car and try to stay busy so you won't go crazy waiting for your MINI! Good Luck!

 

HI YA,
MY MC IS ALL CHILI RED. I AM CONSIDERING ADDING WHITE BONNET STRIPES AND
MINI LAMPS. HAVE YOU OR ANYONE ELSE SEEN ONE LIKE THIS IN THE GALLERY OR
MEMBER MC. MY MIRROR CAPS ARE BLACK. ANY OPINIONS ON HOW COOL THIS
COMBINATION WOULD BE?

BONZ: That is truly beautiful car. One of the most cool I have ever seen in my 6 weeks of mini life.

Excuse me if this is a stupid question, but what is a VR? vw rabbitt?

 

VR = Velvet Red (see my previous post)

 

>>VR = Velvet Red (see my previous post)
HEY, sorry you"re having to wait so long for your beautiful little car. I promise you,
you will fall madly in love and the wait will be worth it. Happy motoring!

 

I'll have a IB/IB MCS on order in a couple months... but you won't be able to see much of the roof, as I'm gonna paint on a full-car Union Jack with metallic white and PT Cruiser Red paint... sorta like this...



Whaddaya think?

 

MINIhune is slated for production. Production date of Jan 10. Will be here soon!!!! :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile:

 

Okay, lets break up this little monochrome love fest. While I agree that body colored roofs look great, I prefer the black roof to merge the sunroof and windows. Visually, it has the effect of lowering the car, as your eye is drawn to the color and ignores the top half. I feel that the body colored roofs make the car look longer, as the black windows form a horizontal stripe capped by the roof. It is a different look, and very attractive to those who prefer it. I think it looks better on the S than the Coop, because the S's air intake makes its hood look a little more bulldog (pug nosed) the horizontal stripe really elongates the car to the eye.

Don't mean to offend anyone, just an opinion. By the way, I really like Tartan red with Silver!

Thanks for the love. The chrome mirror caps are from R-speed. I think the caps give Greta a classic look.

Been doing some searching and so far, Mcallen is the only one I see at MCO that has the all Velvet Red MINI. Maybe I didn't do a thorough search but does anyone else have a VR/VR MINI? I feel all alone!
