    Having just had my Silver Roof painted the shop used Paint Code 900 to match what was there before.

    Everything I have checked comes up as Pure Silver Paint Code 900

    Please let me know if I am not correct.

    Nathan might be the best person to answer this question...:D

    I always thought it was Pure Silver too. I have one, not a checkmate but the Space Blue/Silver combo. I've always been told it is Pure Silver.

    But in wanting to be sure I'm calling MINI.

    Calling MINI to ask the roof paint code for a Checkmate or Space Blue / Silver car is a waste of time.

    They said call the dealer.

    The GP has the Thunder Blue/Pure Silver combo, Code 900.

    The only color tag I could find on the GP was for Thunder Blue...
    A64/5

    Only thing I can find online about the silver roof MINI's is for the Pure Silver...
    900

    However, I did find a Rooftop Grey Metallic...
    B47 but, it only lists that color for '12 and '13 models.

    Great responses, I noted pure silver code 900.

    Nathan, does your MINI have the codes under the bonnet?

    I thought pure silver was the lighter and the silver roof on the Checkmate was a bit deeper in tone.

    Am I wrong?

    Thanks, Don
