Question HELP-MCS Cabrio-Colour Choice

Ive got a MCS cabrio on order for December-will soon need to finalize and still cant decide on colour/spec!!

two probs are-areo kit? y/n

Not too keen on that black plastic along bottom of door -so its really only choice i guess! what is the price to get kit added as mini is built?

and colour!

my favs are Drk grey and astro blk (think they look classy) But also like cool blue and orange for that cheeky look! Can anyone help? Does the black show dirt and scratches-that is my worry, and with a black roof will it wont have as much contrast as a colour with a black roof!!

Hello Gem,

Do I know you from somewhere?!!?

I still think the metallic dark blue with either the blue or black roof! It will go with the Aerokit really well and still look classy like black cos its quite a dark blue, and wont show up the scratches as much!

Aerokit is about £900, alot of money, but its rude not to have it! Lol! Looks even better if you have a chrome grill instead of the black mesh like I done to mine!

Heres a Yellow one that looks quite nice with the aerokit on, just to pursuade u into getting it!

Take Care

Andy - aka Ondy

Hey Ondy

Im pretty persuaded with the aero kit, as u say its rude not too! and if im spendin 21k whats £900 more! ! Its all getting a bit out of hand, the price is spiraling outta control!

Hi,

i think the greatest colors for mini are
White with blue stripes
Red with black or white stripes
Orange with white stripes
Hyper blue for more of a classy look
Light blue with Orange stripes

Unfortunately, I couldn't choose my color unless I was willing to wait a year for the car... But I'm willing to trade for one of those colors...:-)

Aerokit is a must have (will soon)

I saw a black MCSC the other day, looked great (black hood, very stealth-like). You're right about the dirt and scratches though...

Pepper White is available on the convertible now, isn't it? I imagine that would look pretty good and there won't be many about. I don't think you can go far wrong with Dark Grey though either.

Then again, I do like Chili Red with the black hood... and I like Liquid Yellow on the MCSC (although I don't think that's available now). Heck, I'm not being much help, am I?
