Just cannot make up my mind - HELP

[scooby]

Any help would be brill
Ordered my Cooper 4 weeks ago, IB with White roof.
Pepper/ACS&T/Vis/CD/Multi Func St Wheel/AirCon Man

But --

Now changed to

Chili Red / Black roof
Red interior
Window tint
Spoiler
plus all above spec

But just dont know

Anybody got these two colours that can help with which looks best for a 30 something bloke/ moderate introvert...etc

[dcfkan]

Personally I am not in favour of the red interior - I believe Silver/Black is more striking

As for colour combo, I like both CR/B and IB/W, however, I would probably prefer IB/W more

At the end of the day, it is YOUR car, so YOU would have to live with it for a while. Therefore, go with what your heart desires and not what other people say you should have

Have fun! Oh, and welcome to MINI2

Get what you prefer, as for me anything with a black roof is better then anything with a white roof (with the exception of one colored cars which IMO rank behind both)

Do you wanna blend in or stand out? ib/w is a 'classic' look and more common the cr/b

I want it to look classy not comic???

I have a black cooper white roof with bonnet stripes, out of the 2 options I would go with the red coop black roof but get the black bonnet stripes too!!! I have seen this combo and looks really good!

Thats my opinion anyway, IB is everywhere (no offence)!

[ontheroadagain]

Close your eyes, relax, breath deeply and what MINI do you "see" parked in front of your place?

[ontheroadagain]

Besides the excitement of thinking about driving my MINI, the fun thing for me was picking out exactly what I wanted when I ordered mine - you'll see that unlike GMINI03, I do like a white roof.

Anyone can tell you what they like, but only you can decide what's right for you.

My advice is to look at as many gallery pics as it takes to help you decide (or real cars would be even better).

We bought a black cooper last year with white roof. When clean IMO it is the bees knees. But after 5 months of having to clean it every 4 or 5 days we are thinking perhaps we should have gone for another colour. Back in the UK I had a black car but here being so dry and dusty black is a no no.

The other colours would have been Chili red or Indy blue........my favourite is the IB, girlfriends favourite CR. Someone posted that IB was really common in UK, I can't comment on that, but I see CR as just another red car on the road. (sorry CR owners!) The indy blue though is a special colour, classic maybe suiting a young man in their 30's. Seriously I bet if you got the average age of IB owners it would be much higher than CR owners. Perhaps someone would like to do a poll!?

Repeating what everyone has said only you can decide.......the Pepper white is also great with black roof and bonnet stripes, and how about L yellow, oh yeah and then theres the silver, and i saw a lovely gold mini the other day........

^ What he said was spot on, but how I decided was, is Indie Blue £250 nicer than Chili Red, I didn't think it was.

Black is gorgeous.

But I think a MINI should have a white roof.

I definitely think it comes down to what you think is YOU. I love both the color combinations you mentioned, especially the Chilli Red/Black with Black Racing stripes, but I decided it wasn't ME. I'm a pretty classic person, about to be 24 and I was never someone you would see wearing bright red or driving a sports car. I loved the mini because it was classy and beautiful and I felt the IB/W reflected that the best.

I still love the chilli red/black when I see them, but I know that I would have felt awkward trying to pull it off as my car.

In the end you are getting a car that you will have so much fun in and everyone will admire--so enjoy it, no matter what color.

I would stick with the blue, they look at bit cooler than the red, cuz there is not as many around. But I prefere the white roof anyway.
Otherwise go for Green, the the Mini colour!
