remember, you can always get white mirror caps cheap and you can always get the roof done in white vinyl if you choose...

sorry to play devil's advocate, but I toyed with the same for a while... thank goodness for vinyl and the ability to make the roof whatever color you want!

Well it looks fantastic, of course, it's brilliant Hyper Blue

And Doogs, RG is okay and all, but really, don't you want a colorful intense Mini that doesn't blend in with the asphalt?

The white wheels are GORGEOUS! However... me being more of a realist... I know they woul dnever work for me. I drive too much to keep them clean. It's pretty pathetic I have a brtand new car and want to change the pads to "the green stuff" just to keep my R98's clean.

I pick up my HB/W on Saturday! I've been MINI-less for over two years now. Looking forward to the 06 and hope its much better than the 03. The dealer already had a set of driving lamps on the car, I feel like throwing on an aero grill, chrome mirror caps, and a chrome trunk handle just to make him look a little meaner. Anyone see pics of HB/W with HB mirrors? Thought about doing that too. SOO EXCITED!
