R58 Roof cap color?

I've recently bought a '14 JCW. I also have a '13 S. Can anyone tell me where to find the paint codes for the roof caps? When I decode my VIN, all I can find one is Red and the other is Silver. I don't need it yet, but I'd like to get some touch-up paint, but can't find the color codes for the caps. The body color is no problem, they are linked to the VIN.

just thought folks didn't have time to explain something so obvious to an old fart!
By the way, my '13 S coupe is silver over kite blue. I really like that color combo.

I've never seen silver over kite blue. I've only seen white or black. But as you know I am partial to kite blue.

The red is more than likely chili red but I don't know how to find out for sure. I wonder if it is on the original window sticker. I never saw mine even though I bought it brand new. I wish the dealer would have saved it.

Here's the '13, Silver over Kite Blue.





and I think you're right about the red. I just wanted to have some method to insure the color name/code.

Its silver , you can get touch up paint at the MINI dealer or some aftermarket paint shops.
