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.

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

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?

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

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!

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

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.
