Unhappy No more Hot Orange or Cool Blue

It appears you are no longer able to spec Hot Orange or Cool Blue on the mini.co.uk configurator!

No more convertible only colours then?

Seems a shame

Hot orange is very popular in the US, I just noticed last night it wasn't on the configurator any more.

The plot thickens... having to spoken to someone within the UK dealer network, apparently Hot Orange has not been available for a couple of months now, and Cool Blue around the same.

Maybe the paint shop is focusing on the new colours for the Clubman instead?

Hot Orange was discontinued effective with March 2007 builds.

Cool Blue is still available on the MINI USA configurator.

I have seen the dealer literature, and what it actually says with reference to Cool Blue is:

"May not be available after July 2007"

Hot Orange is being replaced by Hot Chocolate... just kidding. Actually it might not be bad with the Sidewalk interior.

Something to look forward to is White Silver, a metallic bright white for the Sidewalk.

What a shame, they were the other two colours we had on our shortlist. It probably is because of new colours for the Traveller... I keep seeing more and more driven between the factory gates. Saw two yesterday lunchtime wearing their Bra's at the front/back.

I have never been a fan of either colour to be honest. I do like Black eye purple thou, it's a shame they deleted that

yeah they never really gave BEP a chance, it seemed to be off the list as fast as it was put on. its a great colour & pretty unique - i can't think of any other manufacturers offering purple. ford kind of stole mini's thunder with their proper hot orange on the Focus ST

I hate cool blue its such a girly colour. A good colour to have on a mini is Gold. They should bring this back.
