If Lightning Blue is meant to be in between Hyper Blue and Indi Blue then I guess that this is probably just Astro Black in a bad light as it seems to be too dark.

Looks kinda black to me.
If it's blue then it's pretty dark, closer to the Checkmate blue.

DamoSXI · Sep 14th, 2006, 06:28 PM

Are they the colours for the Cooper or S models ?

smartbomb · Sep 14th, 2006, 06:31 PM

In the news blurb it mentions 14 body colours.....
....so what are the other ones ????

Paul · Sep 15th, 2006, 08:14 AM

We've only been officially told 12 of the new colours.

smartbomb · Sep 15th, 2006, 08:53 AM

Maybe that includes the Hot Orange and Cool blue for the cabrio as part of the 14 ?

Paul · Sep 15th, 2006, 08:53 AM

That'd make sense.

smartbomb · Sep 15th, 2006, 08:55 AM

Well 16 if you count black and white for the roof !

One is Cooper and one is S. The Cooper has the "chrome line" through the middle of the lower grille area.

Me too.

No Royal Grey in 2007? Arrgh! I'm unclear as to why Mini doesn't offer the Park Lane Edition in the uS? Does anybody know?

Thats a shame Laura. Nightfire red with a silver roof would have look very good

miniman23 · Oct 9th, 2006, 01:12 PM

I think Mini/BMW are taking the biscuit this time round. Info is very poor.

I love MINI, Laura · Oct 9th, 2006, 01:56 PM

I found out from the french info I was given at the motorshow. So upset its the only colour thats limited to the cooper only.

Aww well. Will have to see what the lightning blue looks like with a silver roof. Or maybe make my own parklane combo with dark silver and silver roof? Or the trusty Pepper white/black!

Back to the drawing board for me!

Olly. · Oct 9th, 2006, 02:29 PM

I wonder if thats the french market only though? Maybe the UK is different?

I love MINI, Laura · Oct 9th, 2006, 02:41 PM

Fraid not! I checked with my dealer this morning. He put in the colour and rolled the date on his order configuator onto december, january and then march and nope not available for Cooper S. Cooper only colour!

this might mean we switch our order to a Cooper if its the case, as Jo really likes the nightfire red

Hat · Oct 10th, 2006, 06:54 AM

i thought jo was getting a cooper?

miniman23 · Oct 10th, 2006, 11:15 AM

I can also confirm today Nightfire red is a COOPER colour only from December 2006, I received the new Mini brochure in the post from my dealer. Also Laser Blue is a Cooper S colour only. That's why they are advertising the Cooper in red and the S in blue.
