Looks a bit like a soap bubble with those colours.

Bet that cost a fortune!

Yeah I think it would have cost a fair bit, there looked to be to many colour changes across the body, as you can see in the picture the front is really aqua fading right through to bronze at the rear and all from just one angle.

Did look better in the flesh but I only had my phone camera!

Not the same car.... BUT.... Mini2 member Fozzy2k has the same paint job but with JCW alloys.

Lil_Mini · Apr 3rd, 2007, 05:27 PM

Must be easy find their car in a parking lot.

Totally agree with the "soap bubble" but I think the car looks cool too.

Purple Dave · Apr 3rd, 2007, 05:47 PM

FAWFUL !!!!

What were they thinking ????????????

ayde_bury · Apr 3rd, 2007, 06:00 PM

I like his car

Halliwell Jones in Southport have a Convertible in their showroom in the Kalibri flip paint (the greeny one) looks very cool!

AndyParker · Apr 3rd, 2007, 06:21 PM

not a fan myself but the whole thing with the mini is that everyone has their own tastes! fair play

CC07ERS · Apr 3rd, 2007, 06:35 PM

There is one of these on this forum ,not my cup of tea

Root Ginger · Apr 3rd, 2007, 06:58 PM

I like flip paint but why does everyone seem to have the blue to green to purple colour that was the first flip paint that came out?

There are so many nicer colours such as the gold to orange that was available on TVR's. I've seen it available at MINI dealers.

monkeynuts · Apr 3rd, 2007, 07:02 PM

the R56 is not the prettiest at the best of times
that paint job on any car imo would look s**t
the cost of that is nearly as criminal as the looks!

Gracie Wacie · Apr 3rd, 2007, 07:16 PM

I really like it!

If I had 4 grand sitting round doing nothing, I would go for it too!

M1TCH · Apr 3rd, 2007, 11:13 PM
