Hi everyone,
I'm new to this website....my first post.
I'm in love with the New Mini Cooper S and will be ordering one next week. One really big problem is I can not decide what colour to choose.

It's between:

laser blue, white roof, pacific blue & chrome interior
Lightning blue, union jack roof ??? (does the blue match?), pacific blue & chrome interior
Mellow yellow, black roof, black & chrome interior

I like the tinted windows too. I just don't know what to go for. I like the union jack idea but I don't think it goes with the laser blue. Has anyone seen any of these combinations before? Mind you, I like the pepper white as well! Please someone help me.

I would like to know your thoughts on the colour combos and what you guys have.

Cheers!

So many choices.. Lightning Blue with Union Jack roof would probably look smart.

But then again, they all probably would.

Personally I like the blues the best. But judging from what we saw on the production line a few weeke ago, Laser Blue is going to be popular.

being a tight wad I would go for one of the flat colours and save the £250

They also polish better and can look better than metallics but it's all personal choice.

Since having a Chili Red S I'd never go flat again, I just cant keep it as clean, glossy and new looking as I could my Indi Blue.

Go Yellow!!!

Yellow!!!! Or, not on the list, but we're plumping for white with black roof, and cream half leather. Looks mega!!!

ttocs · Nov 19th, 2006, 03:53 PM

Of the ones you list, mellow yellow, black roof and black bonnet stripes - cool

Well, I've ordered the Mini today. I requested lightning blue over the phone, then during the phone call I changed it to pepper white then to laser blue and back to lightning blue!

No doubt I will change it again tomorrow.

It's driving me crazy...even though what ever colour it turns out to be...I will love it!

If anyone has any pictures of lightning blue, please let me know...
THANKS
