Oh, my girlfriend would be so jealous, she absolutely loves minis! I agree on the one tone paint, looks great. And the alloys look good too. You'll definately have lots of fun with this car  ;D

She really wanted a Smart car until she drove the Mini.  I even tried to sneak in a 2006 WRX, but she said no, which is fair, since it will be mainly her car.
I'm amazed at how 'solid' the Mini feels.  High quality materials, and and I love those zenon headlights.

Looks great!

I find that colour makes it look a tad more serious and sporty.

Have fun!  :skid:

Did she take the Smart for a drive? If not, that would have killed that idea quicker.
