Enyone else noticed this? It's basically a Cooper in dark silver with white indicators and nicer alloys as standard. I don't understand why they've done it, surely a way to annoy Cooper S owners?

Looks damn nice for a Cooper though, especially with the 17""s
 
Changed the order today to this:
(Although it will unfortunately add another month to the production time :()

It's no extra charge so I guess it makes sense to leave them on and then have them removed if they don't look as good in the flesh.

Do any of you know how much it'd be to get some decent red break callipers on it, like the JCW kit?
 
I'm not a huge fan of the JCW. The Mini just isn't boy racer, no matter how hard you try to make it one.

Still a lovely car though.
 
Apparently they're only doing a limited run of these Mini Cooper Graphite editions. Can anyone here care to speculate whether these cars will hold their value more so or less than the standard Cooper. Obviously it's slightly more expensive to buy than the Cooper but the value of the extra options as standard more than covers the cost - (metallic paint, upgrade to bridge spoke alloys, white indicator lenses, piano black interior, chilli pack upgrade is £500 cheaper)

Dark silver is an exclusive Cooper S colour and a desirable colour choice. It's also a signature element of the Cooper S. It's similar to them bringing out a special edition Mini One with a bonnet scoop and twin exhausts. A lot of housewives buy (sorry, that's get bought by hubby ;)) the Cooper S purely because it has more road presence and it's a more striking vehicle.
