Im looking to get a lightning blue or astro black cooper with aero kit -

can anyone tell me if colour coding is a must to make this look decent or should i stick with the black arches???

thanks

im thinking that i may not bother if i go for lightning blue, but definatly with astro black??

My reason being - I would not think the two different tones of black would go??

Unusually, I'm with Baldrick 100% on this one.

In my opinion, dark colours (like Astro Black) suit colour-coding better than brighter ones, but it is all down to personal taste.

My Chili Red has black arches, and I wouldn't have it any other way, as my previous MINI (again, Chili Red) was colour-coded, and I prefer it without.

No colours look 'wrong' with colour coding, so my advice would be look at as many different combinartions as you can, and just go with what you prefer.

I normally colour code but on the R56 with those size arches I am not doing it this time round. I hate stone chips and think these will get them bad.
