mini cooper s convertible:  astro black, or pepper white?

is it true that the white shows less dirt, scratches etc. than the
black?

dumb question i know, but forgive me -- i've never had anything but a
black car (and this pepper white is tempting)...

Black paint shows everything. Definitely go with the pepper white.
Unless you want to spend all of your spare time washing the car.

both'll show dirt, so go for the pepper white unless you prefer the
black.  And I think alt.autos.new.mini is the group you want;  folks
here seem to dislike the BMW "Mini".....

Are you doing the conversion yourself or having it done for you? Why
the limited choice of colours? (I assume it's not a a genuine 'S'.
Nobody would be butchering that, surely.)
