I have a Supercharged S, which I love, but also love checking this forum out for all the nice new MINIs.

However - I have seen no Chili Red MCSs... are they not popular??

The MCS I had on Thursday is Chili all over, and it looks great.....it's a very pleasant shade of red. There is pole on the forum somewhere (can't remember where) and Chili is a very popular colour.

Personally, I find that a non-metallic finish is easier to maintain in the event of minor scratches or stone chips.

Not many Chilli Red S's no...
It's a shame as I think they look much more musclier as it were than a ONE/Cooper and the colour really looks nicer on the S

I've got a new chili red S - some pics in my gallery.

Ditto - my PW is nice and easy to polish scratches from.

Thanks for your responses guys - was hoping to see mroe R56 Chili Red MCS's on the road!

My last S was chilli Red (OK, one from last), and although I love the look of the colour, I don't think I'll ever own it again. Found it very hard to maintain and keep looking pristine.

There's a few more chilli reds here http://www.mini2.com/forum/2nd-gen-m...roll-call.html

Chili Red looks very good if you polish it about 4-times per year with Meguiars Carnuba Wax. The shine will dazzle everyone !!!!
