what if the roof was painted black -- would it look too much like a bubble?
or paint the c pillars body color or roof color or whatever?

or just order black... I suppose.

I am undecided... is the "hatchback" on the normal mini really handicapping the performance as is?

I applaud them for thinking out of the box

I like it, the front looks slick but the back needs some work.
