I am so close to ordering a White Silver Mini Cooper, but I still haven't seen the color in person and was wondering if you fine folks can help me out. I understand it sometimes looks white, sometimes silver - depending on the light. Is it a bright color or dull? In some photos it looks like there is a yellow tint. Is that just because of the white balance of the camera? The yellow hue throws me off.

Thank you!

I have a white silver MCS on order, but I've seen the colour in person a number of times as well. I've never noticed any yellow tinge in reality.

I wouldn't call it a "bright" colour. Visually, it's a classy shade but it's not going to catch the eye like some others. I think of it as a very light silver with a bit of a pearl effect thrown in at times. It'll be a change for me from my previous MCS (mellow yellow, always the centre of attention.)

That's exactly how I describe the colour from the few times I've seen it in person. When it's cloudy out it does look a bit flat, but it really pops in the sun. Can't wait to get mine!

thanks! I think the yellow just shows up in some photos. Somebody else mentioned a blue... either way, I think I'm ordering later today. thank you!

Congrats on your order! I had to see in person too before I bought mine. To me, it seems more on gray side maybe slightly silver at times. I do not see any other colors at all.

Add another R57 to the list:
Black headlight and tail light rings
JCW CF scoop
Blacked belt line
Cooper black side scuttles
Soon CF handle covers

Now if I could just find some black exhaust tips that aren't horribly expensive

I'm in the club but for some reason it will not allow me to upload pics from my iPad. I'll figure it out later when I have time.
