Just curious,

If you were able to change the color of your MINI, what color combination (incl. stripes or not), do you now have, and what color combination would you change it to? Or are you still happy with your original choice, (please tell us what that is too), and would not change a thing?

Thanks!

Silk Green/ Black with solid black boot and bonnet stripes ... will own this for the rest of my life (hint: that means the color is staying

)

mancjimmy · Nov 30th, 2003, 06:27 PM

black body with white roof aero kit on and clear rear lights.or indi blue with white roof bonnet stripes and union jack roof

I've got a B/W with custom offset striping and white rims. It's a royal pain in the keister to keep clean, but I wouldn't switch if I could. The only color I could have liked as much was the shade of LY that they used in the advertising....you know, the one that doesn't look anything like the production LY.

I have a SG/W with green leather interior. If I were doing it again, and burnt rootbeer were still available, I would probably get VR/B with beige leather.

Humourl3ss · Nov 30th, 2003, 09:45 PM

While Black/Black looks great for the first 30 minutes after washing, it's not an easy colour to live with in the depths of a Canadian winter. It's also a little anonymous looking when parked beside a multicoloured MINI.

I'd probably go with BRG/Black or CR/Black to expand the colour palate a little.

I wouldn't change from EB/W, but probably would get the bonnet stripes straight away rather than waiting for its birthday.

ruthie · Nov 30th, 2003, 10:30 PM

Actually went in to order the SG/W, but was told it was no longer available. So I went with PW/Bl and wouldn't change a thing now.

mrhollio · Nov 30th, 2003, 11:31 PM

probably PW/B with aero kit and black viper stripes front and back... although SG/B is close second....

LUKE2711 · Dec 1st, 2003, 12:52 PM

At the mo. i have IB/W MCS, Bonnet Stripes & areo kit - i am seriously considering selling this to go 4 - B/B MCS - tints, aero kit with the spoiler & 18" breyton rims.

chughes163 · Dec 1st, 2003, 01:22 PM

I still really like the all black i went for mixed with the chrome. Ok, my car is a One, so i didnt get the choice of a white roof, but to be honest I was going to get a black roof anyway. I doubt very much that I would change the colour scheme of my car - however, i would be tempted to give my black mini the silver union jack roof.

bentley/cooper · Dec 1st, 2003, 08:50 PM

Still happy with my CR/W with bonnet stripes!

Still love the CR/W. Could not get Cooper in EB when I got mine. That would be a thinker.

Root Ginger · Dec 2nd, 2003, 02:30 AM

CR/W again and again.

I just love the colour.

scooterboy · Dec 2nd, 2003, 02:55 PM

Presently IB/B and would choose the same again.

MINImeat · Dec 2nd, 2003, 05:01 PM

Jet Black with white roof and wheels.
Wouldn't change a thing.

rica_roel · Dec 2nd, 2003, 05:43 PM

British Race Green, White roof, white bonnet stripes, Aero kit, r90 wheels, winter pack, JCW.

you are asking?

MotorOn · Dec 3rd, 2003, 08:39 AM

Thanks for all the response. Given all the permutations available in customizing our MINIs, it can sure make it hard to decide, even after the decision is made.

But I still like EB, by the way.

rinos69 · Dec 3rd, 2003, 08:56 AM

i would swap my BRG/W only for an IB/W,,,
was sooo cool but it has gone forever (:
