R56 The Official Eclipse Gray Owners Club
#201
Thanks! I was a bit concerned since every Eclipse Gray I have seen in person has either had a black or body color roof. I wanted something a little more unique, so I went on the hope that it would look good with white as well. You will be very happy with the combination - pictures really don't do it justice.

Very nice! Our cars look very similar on the exterior (see pics of my Grayson in my gallery). Is your (light) interior leather? I'm jealous...
#210
Yeah its the Cashmere Beige Leather. To be honest I wanted a dark interior. I have two young girls that I am scared to let near those seats until I get some sort of cover in the back.

As much as I LOVE the look, I'm with you on keeping it looking like that all the time. I go/went for black interior specifically for this reason. It's also the reason I no longer do black exterior cars. Black exterior and light interior look sooooooooooooo good when they are clean and also look sooooooooooo bad when they are dirty which turns out to be a major time constraint to keep it spotless. The eclipse grey exterior turns out to be just dark enough that it's not the same amount of work as black. And I will just continue to drool over the stunning light interiors like Bluenik25's...

I agree that the Gray is definately easier than the Black, Im already having chest pains trying to keep my black roof clean and streakless I guess its all part of the sickness.
I so wanted to order that interior, it does look beautiful! I will just admire it from afar. One light colored interior is enough for me to deal with, heres a pic of my Monte's interior.

Eclipse Gray MCS in the UK
Hi,
I'm new to the forum and thought I'd introduce myself to fellow EG owners.
My car is pretty much as it left the factory apart from changing the tyres from run flat to normal ones at 7500 miles.
This is a great improvement for ride and roadholding.
There will be a few cosmetic changes - black jack scuttles and rear view mirror.
I saw a guy today who does vinyl wrapping and he is going to do me some hood stripes in dark gray mtallic with a silver pinstripe either side.
He tried some samples on the car and this combo looks good.
Great to see MINI is popularr in the USA and that so many owners have EG.
I will post pics as soon as the weather brightens up here.

I would go with the matte black and yes it will work. The black stripes will pull the black from the wheel arches. It will look great :-)
The matte black goes really well with the eclipse grey and would set the white roof off even more IMO

Just ordered my Eclipse Grey/ White top JCW! Excited to be a future eclipse grey owner =D
Just wanted y'alls opinion on putting on racing stripes... I really like the matte black racing stripes, but will it work out with the color scheme? Or is white a much better choice?

I totally thought about after reading through your making of MAKO thread! You've been an inspiration to me haha

I agree - matte black with white roof is a great combo.

Do the hood and roof, worst case you can always I'll the roof off if you don't like it. I think it would look a title wired with just the hood since the matte black on the eclipse grey is so subtle.
