I love the white roof and mirrors, I wasnt sure about that combo, thats why I went with the black. Ive had nothing but compliments on the color, I look at colors all day, as Im an autobody painter, I truly do love this gray! What a great looking bunch of cars here

Finally here!

Very nice! Our cars look very similar on the exterior (see pics of my Grayson in my gallery). Is your (light) interior leather? :nod: I'm jealous...

Love the interior on it, I was worried about ordering that with me being in Autobody, I keep my cars spotless, and thats not too driver friendly! I have a light sandlewood cloth interior in my Monte and I have towells and a change of clothes just to get in it

I agree that the Gray is definately easier than the Black, Im already having chest pains trying to keep my black roof clean and streakless :lol: I guess its all part of the sickness.
I so wanted to order that interior, it does look beautiful! I will just admire it from afar. One light colored interior is enough for me to deal with, heres a pic of my Monte's interior. http://memimage.cardomain.com/ride_i...163_medium.jpg |

Eclipse Gray MCS in the UK
Hi,
I'm new to the forum and thought I'd introduce myself to fellow EG owners. My car is pretty much as it left the factory apart from changing the tyres from run flat to normal ones at 7500 miles. This is a great improvement for ride and roadholding. There will be a few cosmetic changes - black jack scuttles and rear view mirror. I saw a guy today who does vinyl wrapping and he is going to do me some hood stripes in dark gray mtallic with a silver pinstripe either side. He tried some samples on the car and this combo looks good. Great to see MINI is popularr in the USA and that so many owners have EG. I will post pics as soon as the weather brightens up here. |

WOW! If that immaculate interior is really a '71, I'm VERY impressed. It looks incredible for it's age! Luckily for me, my top on my MCS is also eclipse gray (as are the mirrors), so no chest pains for me! :lol:

Just ordered my Eclipse Grey/ White top JCW! Excited to be a future eclipse grey owner =D
Just wanted y'alls opinion on putting on racing stripes... I really like the matte black racing stripes, but will it work out with the color scheme? Or is white a much better choice? |
I would go with the matte black and yes it will work. The black stripes will pull the black from the wheel arches. It will look great :-)
The matte black goes really well with the eclipse grey and would set the white roof off even more IMO

Mmmm.. Do you think its better to leave the white top and just have the stripes on the hood?

Thanks for the compliment :thumbsup:...it's been fun. I have to stop buying other toys and get my Intercooler and exhaust before summer hits :)

Do the hood and roof, worst case you can always I'll the roof off if you don't like it. I think it would look a title wired with just the hood since the matte black on the eclipse grey is so subtle.
