I´ve ordered a R56 Cooper and now I just have 2 week to change my spec.
At the moment I have nightfire red/black on order.
I started with PW/B but then I realised that I wanted a darker colour, at least I think so. So now I´m thinking about AB/AB, LB/B, BRIG/B..or just stick with my nightfire choice. The thing that worries me is that I have´t seen any nightfire yet, so I don't know.

What ya think?

Nightfire is a great colour choice, stick with it if you like the swatch, as it looks great on the MINI

Go with your gut feeling its alot of money to end up with a car you dont like the colour of as you will be stuck with it for a while .The biggest problem with the mini is all the indavidual choices you have to make but thats the fun in specing your mini its a personal thing to you .So best of luck iam sure you will change the spec more than once before the lock down.Nightfire looks like the mini 7 colour not for me.

I'd keep the nightfire red/black...sounds great.

i like red/black for the mini, better even if u put the bonnet stripes... i was tihnking about the same colours, red/black or white/black... finally y put sparkling/black with bonnet stripes, i think is a good option too. You know, i like some colours, mybrother others, and... finally must put you like colour, because the car is ur car, and finally everybody like the car in all colours

I haven't seen Nightfire Red, it would worry me that it is a fad colour that you might not like in a year or two - but again I stress I haven't seen it.

I would go for AB/AB (my 2nd choice) or LB/B - both very nice and "safe" choices.

Also, have you considered Chilli Red - looks great with black roof!

What's wrong with a white roof? Generally I prefer white roofs.

On certain colour cars, yes, love them, but not on the Nighfire, black looks best or a silver

Nothing wrong with white roofs, my personal preference is for black roof with red.

I also think a body coloured roof looks better on some colours than contrast. Black, Dark Silver or metallic blue colours for example

AB/AB is nice, but don´t know.. is´t it a bit common?
