Getting ready to pull the trigger- Pepper white

Hey Guys-

After some reading on the net and this forum, a test drive, and playing additively on the MINI USA web site; I think I am ready to pull the trigger...

Outside I have chosen Pepper White with standard grey-black sport seats.
I'd like to add the cream white color line but have not had much success finding pictures. In addition, the chrome line looks cool so it is also being considered.

Can someone share any experiences with the cream white color line?

I don't want the interior too busy but I'd like something unique..

Thoughts?

My wife looked at the cream white interior for her Pepper White MCS, however decided against it because of how easily it can get dirty. Our dealer had one on the lot with it, and it didn't match the Pepper White as close as she wanted it to be.

Although it was on a demo, the cream white was quite dirty and looked like it was showing some wear, so she opted for something a little different. She also decided that since she was getting the Black Leather seating with the cream piping, they didn't match the best.

Good luck on your decision!

That has been my concern, wear and tear and how quickly it may show dirt...

Thanks for input...

WOO HOOO!! PW!!!!
I love my PW, you won't regret it - it looks GREAT and you don't have to pay extra since it's not metallic.
Also, I went with the Gotham Grey Interior with Piano Black trim. The contrast in colors makes the interior look very slick. Here's just a small idea of what the Gotham Grey/Piano Black looks like below.
I'm not sure about the Cream White though. I'd love to see what it looks like too!

I would definately be getting Pepper White exterior, I am concerned with the interior color selection.

with a pepper white car, its essential, does way better at getting road tar and bugs off than any other way of cleaning it

I ordered mine Pepper White with the cream color line. The dealership should have a book that has all the images in it and what it looks like. Or you could just ask the dealer if they have any cars coming in with the cream color line and take a look at them when they show up...

aznqtboy has a great, detailed post of his PW mini with white color line int. HERE. It looks great. I kept my PW/B all black inside except for the white piping on the leather and love mine too! I noticed when spec'ing out mine, you really have to see most the options in person to get a good judge of them. Good luck!

Here is a pic of the creme white. I went with the red/piano black (to match the mod red interior in my Z06...kind of makes me feel at home ). This would have been my second choice.

Here is my interior. The two tone wheel really finishes the theme.

You want to be VERY CAREFUL when putting together an interior off the Miniusa website/car builder. It will only vaguely resemble the actual interior. You need to see the various combinations in real life, due to the limitations of the build system and it's colors etc. It just doesn't look the same in real life! BEWARE! Many of those combinations, stacked together, get rather bizarre and busy. Sure, some can work...but some get very strange very fast.BUYER BEWARE!
Have fun! - (this is the end of Surfblue comments...in response to what's below)

Serious as a heart attack...WHO CARES WHAT THE MINI DESIGNERS FAVOR?? It's YOUR CAR, make it the way YOU WANT IT TO LOOK. Yeah, I'm SHOUTING.
Too many of these interior choices stacked together get way too busy looking. Me, I don't want to live in a circus tent. See my very bland (to some) "basic blackish" interior in my gallery.
Imo, without the chromeline rings, all those grey circles just look like plastic cr*p instead of nice accents.
It's a free country though....build it your way.
