Yeah, you just opened the door to the most powerful addiction I have ever known. I wash and detail the interior of my MCs every week without fail, sneak peeks of it from my windows, make flimsy excuses to run errands, and have begun to utter phrases like "hey you kids, get away from that car!" about 40 years too early Say goodbye to sanity
And nice looking ride

Take a look at it in person. I had a hard time deciding if I liked the color when viewing on line - was really pleasantly surprised when I saw it outside on the dealer lot.
Not really white. Not a true silver. Takes on a different color personality depending on light...sometimes silver, sometimes more white, sometimes a lovely light gray.
Good luck - sorry about your GTI.

This may be subjective.... To me it looks more white than silver which could be why they named it "white silver" and not "silver white". But the advice to take a look it in person is spot on.

BTW - what are you using to polish/wax your W/S to best highlight the color? Easier, for me anyway, to polish a darker color to bring out maximum relectiveness and pop - - still trying to figure out what will look best on Koop.

New member, first MINI, 2011 White Silver (Soho) Clubman S
Hello,
This is my first MINI, although I have been an avid aficionado since my first visit to the UK in 2001 when the original Minis were covering London. While the Clubman was always my first choice, I found the contrasting c-pillar/back corner panel less than appealing. The USA "White Silver Edition" (or "Soho" in the 2010 Italian market release) featured more traditional color styling with black c-pillars and body-color lower panels. However, MINI also mandated black star bullet wheels with this package. I opted for purchasing the R99 17" rims instead and the dealer swapped the tires and purchased the black wheels from me. The interior is all black, with black lounge leather and headliner, auto, nav, etc. I have had it a week and truly love it.
