Down to 2 choices!! And a big thanks to all!

Now is the time to finally make that definite decision.

The Final two are ( drum roll puhhlease!)

Pepper White

and

Sparkling Silver

( a very very very strong third is Dark Silver so keep that in mind also.. i know, im hopeless)

All three are way cool, with advantages to all.

pepper white.. extra clean looking, no added $$$

only decision is the interior and top..

Beige/black leather combo ( wouldn't be so bad but they put beige carpeting in and that is yuk..)
OR
grey/ black leatherette combo
Could go with a blue top never seen one with that..


OR

Sparkling Silver

this color really intrigues me as it has a lot of gold and olive green in it. I wonder what it would look like with a green top..

black/grey leatherette interior

i do like its understated color and its more masculine than the pw
and it simply does not show dirt.


Dark silver.... this is the most masculine color out of the three.. perhaps a bit too close to the dark colors and all of thier problems but im not sure on that issue..


So thats what I'm down to...


Vote away!! but do it fast, I have to order now!!

I am also considering the Sidewalk edition but I hate the wheels and it comes with the automatic HVAC which i do not like.. if i got that, I would get the grey english leather on either one.

thanks!!

If there is any one aspect of your car that you really should decide all by yourself, it is the color combination.

Go with your gut.

^ yep
Might as well be asking: "What should my favorite song be?"

But if you like both colors -- save the $500 on metallic paint for a future mod . . . or towards the LSD

Pepper white because the black accentuates the body lines and it really looks classy and nice, but still loads of fun like a MINI should look. Either way, both good colors but pepper white is much easier to keep clean.

Good luck deciding! If it (the color) didn't already speak to you, maybe you should go look at some more... I'm not a fan of constantly cleaning, so I veered away from the white. I DO like the dark silver, though. Again, good luck!
