Colour Coding

[Mike Edwards]

At Prescott Hill Climb today there were no less than 9 colour-coded Mini's.

A new record?

Nah, I used to think that... but I've changed my mind. Never fancied CR or LY colour coded, but now that I've seen it done - I like it! Took a gamble getting my PW done, since I'd only seen it in a handful of photos. I love it though!

I wanna see something really unique colour coded now though - Silk Green, or Gold. I guess colour coded Velvet Red qualifies as a rare combo... although there's one sat on my drive, keeping my colour coded PW Works company, so perhaps I'm a bit blase.

Not sure about Pure Silver, colour coded or not... that's my only exception.

How much does the colour coding cost???

Thanks,

[MarkW19]

It depends! I got mine done for £300 from BMW when I got my car from new...but others have paid up to £800 I think!!

I wouldn't say I've got a 100% job from BMW - there are a few uneven parts in the paint etc. but it's a "good" job. I think you could get it done as good if not better from somewhere else.

I think just having the arches and sills sprayed gloss black looks good regardless of body colour. Anyone got any pics of that?

I considered doing that too... never seen any pics though.

Would look cool I reckon.

Here on a DS/B COOPER S and an all PW COOPER :

Looks good on the DS, but I'd have left the bulk of the skirt grey...

Not keen on the PW though - glad I didn't go for that.

[SiBradbury]

Yeah, i like the DS one too. I like subtle mods like that.

Me too - really loving the idea of this - gonna look into it myself I think. Well worth the cash.
