With saintly break in driving speeds I'm averaging in the high 40s in terms of mpg, since I'm trying not to hold constant revs at the moment I think that if I tried I could easily get into the 50s.

Pez getting 34 mpg would be 40.8 mp Imperial gallons. We have heavier feet over here.

UK petrol prices are crazy, my feet are heavy just after payday then get progressively lighter throughout the month.
Our average fuel price is 132p a litre. Which is £6 for an imperial gallon. Which I think works out as $7.55 per US gallon. Imagine that!

I think the black xenons look pretty good. Have you thought of blacking out the pop up headlight washers. Either that or both the trim ring and the washers would complete the theme IMHO.

Well, some people on here are pretty good with Photoshop. Maybe a kind soul will "show" you what it would look like to help with a decision. I am not advocating an entire blackout, it just seems the chrome washer oval sticks out against the black xenons. It isn't horrible in any sense of the word, but sometimes subtle changes can really make a difference.

BTW that orange Coupe is pretty sweet looking Perez. The MA in Scottsdale has a demo Coupe S there he told me. I'll have to go drive it next time I'm there. You guys who ordered without seeing/driving one are pretty brave IMO.

Another thing is I wouldn't want to blackout even just the chrome washer. It honestly doesn't bother me as much as it seems to be bothering you :P
If I were to blackout I would black out the whole thing.
Coupes have taken a tour around the US since June/July of this summer. In fact I saw a Coupe in July and sat in it. I test drove one 3-4 weeks before I got mine as well. Test drive models started arriving about 2-3 weeks before the October 1st launch.

I've never even touched ANY MINI. Not brave, just confident enough to own one for at least a few years. I don't learn/adapt to different vehicles quickly, a 30 or 60 minute test drive on the North side of Indianapolis wouldn't do much for me. I'd have to take it home for a week an thrash it on the curvy hilly tight roads that I know and enjoy, and I don't think the dealer would be happy about that.

Where would it go? Hardtops use them in their back/middle but they don't offer contrasting stripes as an option on the roof unless you do it aftermarket so they didn't want to jack with an option that many people would possibly get as it would stick in and ruin the stripe combination.
Also most hardtop coupes and roadsters have them on the back side..
ie: BMW Z's

That would look hideous..
First.. They are sports stripes so they are already close to each other and would ruin the straight parallel look.
Second.. The roof is MUCH smaller then the standard R56/R53 hardtops and isn't even flat like those cars and it is rounded so it would stick out like a sore thumb.
