Actually, neither option. DS with black roof. Looks more elegant

It has to be 1 because black and white are a natural color combination. I think the other will look a bit off.

Agreed. Although I'd still say option 1, if you're to go dark silver it'd be killer with a black roof.

I totally agree with the dark silver and black roof. I will be getting a Clubman in dark silver. I think the C pillars only come in the light silver.

I chose DS/B but DS/W isn't so bad either.

Thanks

Thanks everyone for your input. If I ever get lucky enough to order one, I believe it will be a PW/B!!

I'm for choice #1, but the "hides dirt better" argument for #2 makes sense!

Wow! It's so hard to choose! :impatient

Both of your options are really nice combos!

I suppose that if I had to choose it would be Option #2.

I don't want to seem like I'm vacillating, BUT either one would look very nice on a MINI...

Really, I've never seen a MINI look bad in any color scheme!

Says alot for the car doesn't it!

As for the sunroof, my vote is go without one.

Hope this helps!

Motor On!

I am not fond of DS /W. My car is a DS /B. Love the look and sunroof disappears with a black roof. PW/B is very sharp also (was my second choice). Good luck with your choice.

+1 to that! My best friend was really against my getting the roof and mirrors a different color from the rest of the body. But there's not many cars other then the MINI that you can do that on, plus I just think it looks better.

Very true. Although I must say with a few of the colors it can look quite sharp - Sparkling Silver for example.
