Still over a year away from ordering a MINI S Cabrio... My fav color at this point is BRG. I want the alloy interior trim and chrome mirrors...

So, I know that color combos are a very personal choice, but...

Let me know what you think..

Black or beige interior?

Black or Green top?

THANKS for your comments.

Regards, Glenn :smile: :smile: :smile:

 

Black top and combination two tone black and beige interior would be hot!

 

black all the way!

I went for the red tartan, for what its worth.

 

BRG/WT with black interior and silver interior trim and wheels...hey, wait a minute, that's MY car!

 

BRG MINI with White Roof and Stripes.Two Tone Cordoba Beige Leather with silver trim!

Thats mine! HeHeHe

 

I am not such a fan of the beige interior, but to each his own. I like the idea of the red tartan cloth with the BRG... THAT sounds like an interesting combo!

 

Here's my BRG/BRG



With black panther leather



BRG is a color that looks very different in different lighting conditions and also looks different when paired with other color combinations. BRG/W lightens up the car and BRG/B really makes the car look dark.

I wanted to tint the windows and thought it would look to dark to get BRG/B and didn’t like the BRG/W look. So I went with BRG/BRG. I love the look with a bit of chrome accents and the black contrast of the windows and grill.

 

Is this what you are looking for? Cordoba beige with beige interior door panels & beige carpets. Personally, I think it looks pretty cool

 

Black n Beige Baby!

 

Black interior all the way!!!
For a number of reasons
Black looks sportier, and gives the car a more racy look, the only set back is some people may say the seats get hot, but mine never did.
Cleanliness-With the beige, obvious dirt will show up more easily, as opposed to the black interior.
Flow of the lines-Contrast inside is good, and thats why its best too keep it just black, with siver. If you will notice, the dash is black and the inside door panels would be beige if you got the package-I have seen many of these cars and the color just doesnt seem to go right.
Also, the anthracite headline would sort of look goofy with the beige interior.
Its best to go with the black int.

 

Beige always looks cheap to me, even the expensive beige (aka "tan") in expensive cars. And I'm not fond of BMW's version of BRG.

I'd get triple black!

 

Beige interior looks hot with BRG!! Black roof.

 

Now here's the BRG with green top and black interior. Chrome all around to set it off.

Green means go!

 

Nice looking Cabrio

Thanks, Lois! That is high praise from NAM's BRG Cabrio Queen! Sunnie is a GORGEOUS ride.

Glenn, you've got a tough choice ahead of you...IMO, they're both beautiful. I also went back and forth as to seats-- space cloth or leatherette? black or grey--and ended up with black leatherette (which I am very happy with) and anthracite trim.

I will give you the heads-up that the dark seats and trim do result in a dark cabin, as the interior of the convertible roof is basically black. Personally, I love the cozy feel of the cabin when it's all zipped up, but that is something to take into consideration.

I'm sure whatever combo you get you'll be thrilled with it. It's a great ride, top or or top down.

By the way, if you can't make a BRG decision, see my previous post: the Chili Red w/ black bonnet stripes in the upper left-hand corner of the photo is a stunning (NorCal Mini member's) MCSC with cordoba beige interior. Try that in the configurator. It's a real show-stopper!

Cheers,
Teri :smile:

 

Thank you all for your comments... This is such a tough choice, at least I have some time to wait. (too much time)

Guess I can't really make a mistake. At least I know it's going to be a MINI Cabrio.....

Regards to all, Glenn

 

It is a tough choice, Teri. I considered the green top & black interior also. I also considered reproducing "Louie" in Cabrio form. I still love the CR/B combo & it looks great on the Cabrio. A friend of mine just got her Cabrio S in CR

 

Teri,

I never really condidered Chili Red, but you are right. The CR with the black stripes is very sharp...

So, is it too sharp for a 50 year old guy??

Thanks, Glenn

 

I saw one of those at Knauz in Chicago. W/Green top It had that classic english look, it was classy. Black interior/roof would be a sportier look though. It would be tough decission.

 

Hi Glenn,

I'm sure you would be able to handle the CR/Black no problems...but I hope I didn't cause you to give up on the BRG so soon! C'mon, Glenn, join us...

Teri

 

NOTHING would be too sharp for a 50 year old guy...this is all about FUN. Get what you like. But take it from me...you will second guess your color choice and your interior choice all the way up until you guys meet. I changed mine around SEVERAL times. Went back to my gut instinct, and I LOVE IT...The only problem will be when I go to buy another and I can't get it in IB.

 

A MINI in any color is never too sharp for a 50 year old guy or gal:smile:

Color.....such a tough choice. The MINI is hot no matter what! I have Dark Silver, love the Pepper White, but wasn't available in an S when I got mine. After going to some MINI meets and seeing other colors, I then kinda wished I'd gotten something different. Then one day I had a loaner in Chili Red....and I felt so conspicuous! Another time I had an Indi Blue, by the end of the day I didn't like it that much. So, I'm glad that I stuck with my color choice.

Of course this means no disrespect to other colors. Just that your first preference is your first preference for a reason.

And then there's the interior.....I wish I'd gotten......

 

Gotta go with the black top for contrast, and the classic tan interior .

Just my two pennies... :smile:
