Lots of people like the look of the White top with matching mirrors and wheels. What about a black top with matching mirrors and wheels?

Do you think this would be a good look for a MINI or that it would only work with certain colors?

You can set one up here by going all the way to the last grouping of wheels and adding the Sport Fox 2's They don't seem to have any real dark black wheels avaliable yet. :???:

I think you're on to something there, the Update Garage generator looks pretty cool with black/black (pick a main color). This can be extended to people with same color roof, try out same color wheels!

I like it with either Chili Red/Blk top/Blk wheels or Indi blue/Blk top/Blk wheels.

It might work ok with the Silver but i dont know yet.

I've thought of doing my S lites in Black.

As soon as I find the right wheel painter. This is a photoshop mock-up I did while thinking about it. Anyone like it? Too much?

It does look really agressive.

I think it looks toned down slightly if you use the Indi Blue paint.


I normaly don't like the Yellow color but it looks pretty badass with the black wheels.

I've got black on black MSC on order, and will be looking for some lighter rims/tires once I get it. I've been looking over some catalogues, and recently I've been digging black or gray (carbon-looking) rims...we shall see...

DVLMINI--I like it!

If getting a regular MINI Cooper, don't forget that now you can also order black trim bumper accents, instead of the chrome or body color matched ones.

The black bumper accents retail for $120. I have yet to see a new Cooper with them installed.

The black bumper accents are only available in the regular Cooper.

Maybe the closest thing in the MCS would be the addition of the Aero package.
