I agree.... I've been thinking more and more about ordering a new car (in addition to the JB/JB one me and the missus own already, and I have to say, Tit's car is a compelling pitch for a DS, DS combo with some graphite wheels. I can envision getting started on the mods all over again.

Nice car, Tit.

Of the 21,000 + members on NAM, I have to say yours ranks right up there with MSFITOY's and shooler's as my personal aesthetic faves. dcsmd007's IB/W mega-modded JCW was a close runner up until he sold it.

Thanks kyriian I love it, although some of my fellow Aussie MINI owners refer to DS as "the Cranky colour"

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

My '02 mini was ds/w with white bonnet stripes, white side-mirror caps, a silver M7 lower front grill and silver 16" v-spokes. At first, I recently ordered the same scheme for an '06. After I really started thinking about it, here's what I came up with two weeks later.........ds/ds with borderless black stripes on both the bonnet and the boot, chrome side-mirror caps and a silver or black M7 lower front grill.

Looks like Dark Silver still fills the bill for me. Nice perspective.

I like your stripe! Is that a darker silver stripe? I love the subtlety.

I'm thinking of doing the Viper Stripes in Light Silver on my DS. I haven't seen any pics of this out there yet.

thx for the reply

.::DEMini::.

its actually a flat black/no gloss finish.
i wuz going to do a dark silver but the vendor did not have it in the flat 'finish' so i went w/black which l00ks like a dark grey!!
im into subtle flows very well w/all the black trim on the MINI...........
