I went with the red/red look and really like the solid color. However, when someone asked if my S was a Honda I quickly added bonnet and boot stripes which really look great. I would buy what you like and not to satisfy others' tastes. What you really need is some way to eventually get the silly grin off of you face after you drive it.

>>The nice thing about Dark Silver / White Roof / White Wheels is that in 22 months of driving my MINI, I have *never* seen another MINI with that color combination.

>>All Dark Silver with silver v-spokes or s-lites is pretty common, as is Dark Silver / White with the silver v-spokes or silver s-lites.
Wow, that's wierd. Here in SF, CA it's exactly the opposite. DS/W is the most common color scheme by far (I see at least 2 every day), but I have yet to see a DS/DS on the road.
(I have a DS/DS arriving next week, btw.)

It depends on what look you like or are going for. I like the white roof with it thats is going to be part of a contrast them like white wheels stripes etc. If you want to be more subltle and have chrome acents wheels grill mirrors I think the all grey with that is really cool.
I saw a all grey cooper on the highway the other day with chrome wheels and it looked awesome.

As you can see, there are as many opinions about MINIs as there are MINI owners! My advice is for you to not listen to the advise of others, but to look at cars and pictures and decide which combination pleases you the most.
My preferences were:
Chili Red/White or Liquid Yellow/White (tied for first choice)
Dark Silver/Black or Dark Silver/Dark Silver (tied for second choice)

>>If you read all of what I wrote, DS/White is fairly common (I see PS/B the most, followed by CR/W, then DS/W), but I always see it (DS/W) with the silver v-spokes or silver s-lites. To date, my MINI is the only DS/W that I have seen with the white v-spokes.

Ah.. sorry about that. Missed the white wheels part. That IS rare.
