Does anyone have this color combo? Any pics?

Pictures would be very much appreciated. I'll be ordering the MCS but no dealer in our country so I am relying on the internet. The mini website colors don't seen very accurate. thanks

I say it would look a bit wrong but thats my opinion. The redwood is very terracotta and would clash with the laser blue. I personally say stick with the back or the beige. Theres plenty of pics on here with the redwood in.

I cannot seem to find a laser blue with redwood red here. Based on MINI france configurator, The combinations looks wierd but not ugly for me

. I wish someone could help me find a picture of laser blue with redwood red. So that I could see if the contrast is odd or pure ugly hehe

How do you get all the warranty work and servicing done with no local dealers

No warranty, No official service center here. But there are some shops that can service MINI's. So we just have to be careful with our MINI's hehe

Is it actually possible in UK to spec Laser Blue with Redwood? I know you can't spec Laser Blue with Red Ray and my online configuator isn't working at the moment.

nephilin · Feb 13th, 2007, 03:29 PM

It is impossible to spec laser blue with Redwood Red - it's not an available option, which explains the 'lack' of available pictures. It doesn't exist!

Unless of course you are prepared to retro-fit the interior....?

MINIAC · Feb 13th, 2007, 03:42 PM

In the UK and US Redwood Red upholstery is only available with Astro Black, British Racing Green, Dark Silver, Pure Silver, Sparkling Silver and Pepper White.

Thank god for that. Was going to call the fashion police myself

I think one of the early press photos was a Laser Blue exterior with redwood red interior, it actually looked quite good I thought

.. Best combo is Laser Blue with Carbon black lounge leather seats I reckon, but I am biased

mister.t · Feb 13th, 2007, 05:12 PM

If you want Laser blue, plump for either the 1/2 blue or cream leather, or go for the punch or leather lounge. Not sure red goes IMO

Mini Me GB · Feb 13th, 2007, 06:15 PM

Found the press photo here.. Can't see much but it is deff Laser Blue with redwood interior..

djam43 · Feb 13th, 2007, 07:46 PM

dont even try it

djtex · Feb 13th, 2007, 10:02 PM

Not a good combo in my opinion.

Stick with Pacific Blue seats with Laser Blue, looks wicked!

Yeah, I saw this press photo and it looked good to me. http://motoringfile.com/2006/10/29/2...g-and-options/

I was trying to spec my MINI in the France website and they allow you to spec laser blue with redwood red interior

Aren't you ordering the car from a parallel importer who sources Minis from either Dubai or the US? Perhaps you should check the Dubai dealership websites to see if they can spec it this way.

Yes I'm ordering the car from a parallel importer. And yes, they usually source the cars from USA and Dubai. But the importer wants to get the unit from France this time. I don't know why he wanted this. Probably becase of the shorter waiting time for the automatic transmission?

Would look odd in my opinion, but hey every one is different!
