Wondering if this color would be the "stealthiest".

I ordered my DS/DS MINI, and it is arriving in a couple of weeks. I think it is the stealthiest color that is still manageable (Jet Black/Jet Black looks great, but black cars are such a pain to keep in great shape).

I have seen several DS/DS MINIs, and they look great in person!

I've got one... and I LOVE it. My choice was driven by the stripes that I wanted to get..

I love my solid dark Silver Mini:
-Love at first sight; stood out like the "pick of the litter" from 20 MIni's at the dealer. By far the sexiest, most aggressive, sporty looking Mini on the lot (I also love all black & red Mini's.)
-Mines got matching dark silver SSR Comp. wheels & a few additional things.
-Down side: for me the dark silver is a little harder to keep clean/dust free (I'm used to silver cars.)
-All in all, solid colored Mini's are my personal favorite (looking a little less cute, retro and youthfull than most two-color Coopers.)
-The solid color enhances the sculptural masses of the body, the dark silver accentuates the curves and beautiful front end!
Go for it!

I have one as well, people have actually said that "they did not know you can get one without a black or white roof"!

I like the understated look the all dark silver has.

Yes, I think it looks good. Here's one I found for you, he has the chrome grills on his MCS.

It looks great - my son Sean got his 'S' like that with a sunroof. Beautiful and subtle car.

BCNU,
