For years I've been imagining my next MINI and it has always been my beloved Chili Red. But White Silver is beautiful enough to pull me away from CR.

It's even better in person. Multiple shades of silver and white, dependent on the amount of light and the angle.

Edit: **THIS** is what could pull me away from Chili Red:


And I can still manage to have a fair amount of Chili Red on the MINI ! Win-Win !!

I totally agree. It's actually quite difficult to get the white silver's real beauty on a photo. Usually it looks dull or just "flat white", but the variance is amazing. I'm thrilled to have chosen this color.

Very, very beautiful. The good thing about White silver is that it's a generous color, and you can match it to almost any other color of your choice. The combination white silver - chili red is perfect.

Edit: here's another example of white silver - chili red combination. You can get these stripes and mirror caps directly from MINI when you order.

Getting black glossy viper stripes on the bonnet and boot in two weeks. I set my appointment up with Detroit Tuned and I am hella excited for this! I'll post pictures as soon as I put them on. I can't wait to see what it looks like with my black grille trim I put on and my JCW black mesh side scuttles!

Looks like the first post hasn't been updated in over a year. LOL! So much for listing all of us in the "Official" thread up front. I'll have a picture by the end of the month when my new MINI arrives.

Hi o/

I'm new here, A few Pics of our 2012 SD

2 weeks old







I'll do some proper pics when I get a chance.

I'm thinking about taking off the black wrap around the headlights, thoughts?

No way keep it on! Looks great! I was really debating spending $150 from the dealer on the HL and TL rings, but the wrapping looks good, I was gonna do it next weekend but someone told me it doesn't look good...

the wrap was really easy on the grill pieces, the headlight surrounds were a little trickier, you need to be clever with how you lay the wrap over, I used 3m matte wrap. I'm really impressed with the result, it doesn't look wrapped at all.

Meet Svetlana...

I picked Svetlana up in November. She is my first MINI and I haven't stopped grinning yet.

I would like to join the club. After months of reading this forum and keeping my eyes open for possible used vehicles, I purchased a 2011 white silver clubman S last week. The color is much better in person. Got a great deal (including that it was a certified pre-owned). I am one happy guy!

Thank you for the welcome.

I just realized that this discussion was listed as hatch talk. Sorry if I misplaced my message. I have not yet had the chance to take any pictures. I am attempting to attach a picture from the dealership website. As for clubman photos, check out Tata Steva's pictures (included above; #178). Those are of his clubman.

Cloth seats were available in the 2012's, did they drop the option for the '13's?

You can get cloth seats in every '13 hardtop EXCEPT white silver (unless you pay $500 for the JCW interior package). You can get them in the Coupe or any other model, or any other color but not the white silver hardtop. When I was still undecided about the Coupe vs Hardtop this drove me crazy, and my dealership (ex dealership now) were no help at all.
