what colors look the best with silver roofs?
I just put a deposit on a clubman, but I have a LONG time before my order goes into production. I really want a silver roof, but I am trying to come up with a smashing color combo. My initial instinct is to pick astro black, but I don't want to drive a mini hearse. I also love NFR, but it seems like to brown a color. LiB is too flashy. . . so what do you think looks the best?

I think Astro Black would look very good with the silver roof. The silver contrast should help break out the "hearse" effect.
Night fire red/silver looks very nice as well, but that is a Cooper only Color, not available in the S. Other interesting alternative (Assuming you are getting a Cooper Clubman model) is Mellow Yellow with silver roof.
I also agree that Laser Blue and Lighting blue both do look good against silver.
How about Dark Silver with the silver roof? Not a bad idea! Another very uncommon combo that I loved in the last year (2006) of the first generation MINI was British Racing Green with silver roof...Wow it looks beautiful!
Personally, we went for Hot Chocolate/Silver and looks fantastic (See my gallery). Second closest choice was Lighthing blue/silver.
Good luck.

I'm a fan
call me biased but don't blame me for login my Mini. I have the dark silver with the light silver roof and I really like the aggressive sophisticated look. I am considering putting a few stripes on to make it even raceyer but I want to see how much attention I get from local law enforcement before turning up the volume.
The dark super is a clubman only color and with the black sunroof it all looks tailor made. My other top choices were chocolate and blue. I think both would look great with the silver roof.
Look at my gallery for pictures and in my opinion the Mini would look great in bare sheet metal and so have fun choosing.

I think AB with a silver roof will look great. I also saw a Dark Silver Clubman w/ a silver roof that I liked in that the contrast was so nice, subtle, and classy. Either way would be super. Have you seen NFR in person? It is not brown at all, imo, especially after Velvet Red which was more so.
Color is always a tough call, but worth the effort and angst in that the more effort you put into it the more you'll love your final choice.

I have only seen NFR on a cooper with a black top; the top makes the color look somewhat brown-toned to me; maybe this is not true. Now I am leaning towards hot chocolate, though I think that requires a "mandatory" upgrade to HC lounge leather. Hmm. The only ones I've seen in the flesh are LiB/silver and NFR/silver, but they are both indoors, so I think that makes it hard to judge. I think I will stick w/o the S (waitlist is twice as long), otherwise dark silver would be an easy choice. . .

Picked up our BRG/S Clubman S on Friday, very James Bond, very classy. Works really well with Piano Black / chrome interior and Carbon Lounge leather.
Pulled over by the Police on Saturday morning to comment on the spectacular look of the Clubman. True story!
I hope this doesn't happen too often, my heart hit it's rev limiter.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Silver is very fashionable with any color. I was especially surprised to see how much nicer Mellow Yellow looked with silver.
I would stay away from black though...I've got to agree with the hearse thing, especially if you tint the windows.

Agree. I'm not real enamored with the silver roof. If I were to go the clubman route, I'd probably opt for the black roof, or even body colored. My 07 MC is BRG/White roof, but I'd prefer more contrast with the roof. If ordering today I'd go with sparkling silver/black. I wish a white roof were an option.
