Hello, I am new to this board and have to ask the following question.
I ordered a Clubman S and cant decide which color combination to choose.
1. Dark Silver / Silver Roof / Black Lounge leather
2. Black / Silver Roof / Hot Chocolate Leather
3. Hot Chocolate / Silver Roof / Hot Chocolate Leather

does anybody have pictures , which he could post.
I need help to decide.

Thanks , looks fantastic. I am really torn, and there are no Clubman on display ( at least in my favorite CC ) at our local Mini dealership. The car will be produced in week 27, so I have a couple of days left.

Don't miss the NAM Clubman Photopool that Blu Iguana set up on Flickr. (And don't forget to add any you have!)

I'd go 1 or 3. Should be able to find plenty of examples in the "Show Us Your Pics" thread.

I love DS/S. My previous MINI, an '06 MCS, was a pretty close Royal Grey/Silver, so I wanted a change this time around, but slick nonetheless.

HC/S is classy and distinctive. My only concern is how quickly it will show dirt. I saw a dirty one here in Austin a few weeks ago...and IMO it's not a color that does dirty well. But if you can keep it clean...

Does the dealer have any Coopers on the lot in the colors you're looking at?
Being there is better than looking at pics.

Old timer's experience

After having ordered several new cars.
I can honestly tell you that 1 month after I ordered,
the color didn't matter. Really.
MINI has great colors; if you waver, most people go full circle, and go back to the colour that they chose originally.

What a happy problem !!
