Must admit colours have been a bit of a weak link for MINI for quite some I wouldnt mind but the best colours are the ones the keep faffing about with Cool Indi Electric Hyper Laser Blue anyone?
The Nightfire red in question is nice and it was on my list of possibles for our clubman but living in Oldham average days of sunshine per year about 3 its just not bright enough.
I must admit the Hot Chocolate does manage to work even covered in poop on a dull day wich is a surprise.
My answer to your dilemma get White or Red and spend the money saved on heated seats I did
