Here´s the thread
MINI COOPER :: North American Motoring - NEW Pics of the 07 in Rome

Looks really great, kinda like electric blue.

Could`t fix clickable thumbnail, how do I do?

hyperbluejames · Nov 21st, 2006, 09:59 PM

awesome! i love blue! get as many shades as possible lol

Freddo · Nov 21st, 2006, 10:01 PM

Yup would be nice to see in real. Cool it´s a non-metallic colour.

I love MINI, Laura · Nov 21st, 2006, 10:16 PM

Wow this is quite exciting!

Not sure I like but will look forward to seeing it on a car in the future. still loving Lightning and Nightfire!

That's from the Dealer Drive Event in Rome. You wouldn't believe how cool that room was. It was set in a Castle on the top of a cliff overlooking a lake in Rome. Insmeggincredible.

I would be a bit aprehensive of the colour adjustment on that photo and how close that is to oxygen blue, as the sparkling silver looks gold in it and the other colours look out too

Having seen what we suspect as Oxygen Blue at the factory too, that doesn't look quite right.

Those shells where oxygen blue, so it's more of a turquoise/green shade than that gives the impression of.

Those cars that were parked outside the paintshop? I assumed that was a primer or some undercoat. I didn't think it was a real colour.

Paul · Nov 22nd, 2006, 07:41 AM

They dont use primer: http://www.mini2.com/article373-mini...ed-by-bmw.html

looks like it will be a flat(uni), non-metallic which would be good

Paul · Nov 22nd, 2006, 07:54 AM

Yep, we know this already from official information.

Rakey · Nov 22nd, 2006, 07:12 PM

it was more of a smurf type blue, this is as close a colour match I can find for it

JHorwitz · Nov 23rd, 2006, 10:57 AM

or a bit like this........

hyperbluejames · Nov 23rd, 2006, 11:45 AM

that looks like baby blue! eurgh!

JHorwitz · Nov 23rd, 2006, 08:38 PM

i know, i did it!

Freddo · Nov 23rd, 2006, 08:51 PM

If the oxygen blue gonna look a bit like that photoshopped pic I think I will wait with my order. Really like it.

No, nothing like that, thats too soft, too baby blue.

There is vauxhall colour similar to it, but if posted that it would put you off it, so I'll stick with the smurf blue M3 for now as the close match

Jordan210 · Nov 23rd, 2006, 09:32 PM

I think some ware i have a pic of the blue.. was on a bit of paper i was given when i went for an aprentership in Piant at Plant oxford.... Was a pic of a few custom cars one in sky Blue what looked realy nice.
