I saw a Royal Gray with silver roof today. It was a mixed bag. On one hand, it looked classy and upscale. On the other hand, the royal gray is actually kinda brown, and looked muddy and dirty. Perhaps it would look good with some black wheels/polished lip, but with the factory lift-kit and 16" v-spokes it was on, it looked lackluster. Just my $0.02

If you think blue/silver looks good, just wait until you see purple haze/silver

Yep, saw both the Royal Grey (awesome) and space blue (much less awesome).

Went with HB/W myself..wanted sporty look...if I wanted classy, I would have gone with the RG.

Cheers

I saw Space Blue/Silver cars when we took the Oxford factory tour in September. It's my new favorite.

I ordered a Dark Silver/Silver MCS, haven't seen any pics of that, wondering if any are in existence.

Space blue looks good in pictures. I haven't seen any roaring around yet. Dark silver with silver roof and silver wheels--good idea.

I was a little hesitant at first on the flame spokes, but if you see them in person they look far more aggressive than the s-lites...and their 3 lbs. lighter too.

No, I fit perfectly, but it's good for a laugh! Only problem is the mirror is a little tough to see around. Endicott eh, Jimbo? I work with a lot of people who unfortunately used to work in Endicott.

"Badass" and "Mini"... Two words that just don't go together, no matter what the color scheme or peak hp numbers.

What do you get with the checkmate package besides the cool looking graphics on the side?

I'd love to see some more pics of the interior! I was so close to getting a checkmate, but didn't know how it would look with hyper blue.

--- Dear Mr. TooTall ---

Well Done! That is the funniest picture of a MINI I have seen! I love the way this shot cuts off your body 2/3rds' of the way up, but the MINI is centered perfectly... it just emphasizes the size 'discrepancy'.

You should send a hi-res version to MINI USA with the caption "TOO TALL MAN DRIVES MINI COOPER - NO ALTERATIONS NECESSARY!!"

I guarantee they would post it on the main site, assuming you also give them a pic showing you happily sitting inside the MINI afterwards.
