The configurator doesn't do a bad job of showing you what things look like. This is one of ours, with Fluid Silver (I think its fluid silver) and a dark grey colour line.

Yep, it's a new option for 2012's. I love it too - so much so that I'm working with redlinegoods.com to retrofit my 2011. Hopefully I'll have pics to add here soon.

I'm still thinking about other interior parts. I'm pretty sure the steering wheel is next & I still need to get the EBrake handle off to paint it. I'm debating the gauge/trim rings...I just don't want to go overboard.

Below is just too much for me…I do like the extra screen, but it's just too overpowering for my tastes.

Yea, that's why I like my two tone job on the R56 with the yellow and piano black. Not too much of either, but enough to complement them. I've considered ridding myself of the silver trim everywhere but just don't have the time to invest in it right now.

Are you looking for instructions on how to get the ebrake handle off? Here you go! It's pretty much the same for Gen1s. http://www.redlinegoods.com/MINI07install.php

I love what you've done to the interior on Butters - especially after seeing the orange one.

Thanks for the complements & the link. That is exactly what I needed...Now I have a project for the 3 day weekend

---------------------------------------------
Done with the Ebrake...thanks Kirby11, those instructions helped.

I also painted the back cup holder to bring some yellow to the back seat.

Looking for Liquid Yellow vinyl for the steering wheel...don't want to risk the paint harming the buttons in anyway.
Not a big change, but I didn't want a big change...just a touch here & there.

You sneaky bugger, Not4no1! I just saw your new pic of Butters - looks great! Have you checked with Lyle at Vinyl Styles to see if he has a yellow that matches?

I recently installed a leather colorline wrap from redlinegoods.com. Went from the stock dark grey to white. I wasn't sure if I'd like white on the dash but now I really like how it lightens up the interior.

My hubby says it's a tad flashy... but I love it. Wish I had seen this thread first, some mighty great ideas here! But I did this myself... cheap chrome kit, (about $120 for something like 27 pieces); I painted the dash with Krylon and clear overcoat; and the center console Union Jack by Aesthetic Creations (on sale for $15) The starter button UJ was from the same place as the chrome... Moss Motors I think?

I don't think it is a tad flashy- I love it! The panic button gave me a chuckle. You did a great job.
