The roof and wheel color perceive to change it. If you went with a white roof, white stripes and silver wheels, it would look totally different

I know it's addictive looking at CM's and wanting to post pics of your own!
I'm thinking of having a custom vinyl detail added to the sides above and around the wheel well and scuttles....hmmmmmm....

Post yours too. MINI lounge still says it's at VDC but I notice the next "step" is the dealership so I won't know when it's being transported.

what other colors did y'all consider before deciding on Surf Blue? any regrets on the surf blue color?
i decided to go with surf blue after seeing true blue in person. i was almost set on TB because of the pictures and was hoping it was closer to the blue of the Scion xB release series 8.0 (my current car is a bright green 06 scion xb release series 3.0), but while attractive in some (really pale in some... Yuck!) pictures it leaves something to be desired in person. The dealer didnt have any SB in stock so i only saw the "true color" piece. im excited to see it in person... when it finally gets over here! contrary to the TB, the SB looked great in some pictures and pretty good in others which is why i decided to go with it... it never looked bad. haha!
i had also toyed around with the absolute black, because of the business I'm in but... black cars are too hard to keep clean!

And I have been commiserating with y'all! I was gung-ho to order mine, but when my MA said they had one in the pipeline with everything I wanted except leather I jumped at it. I only had to wait 17 days and that was hard enough!
As for leather, my last 2 cars had it. I think the faux leather seats look and feel really good. They're not your Dad's vinyl seats from back in the day.

That's cool that you got that chance! I had actually thought about getting the tobacco color line, but after seeing some photos here and on another site, I decided I'd go back to my original choice of surf blue for the color line. I'm happy with my choice and can't wait to see it in person.
