MINI2

Rakey · Nov 24th, 2006, 08:58 AM

Ok, was thinking last night, as the JCW is going to be a seperate model my guess is this will mean that we will have some special limited colours to make the JCW truely elitist

Well if you think about it this is true on the MCS, you get colours limited to this car, and also on other cars such as the M3, which is the direction so many of us believe will be followed with the JCW car. The same can be said about Porsche, who we know that MINI use as a model for their development process.

So the question is what colour would you love to see on a JCW MINI, what colours have you seen elsewhere that you feel would suit the JCW model and make it stand out as the top of the range sports model?

I know I'd like to see something vibrant and agresive like this or even a pure white

But what about you?

Needs to be something that fits in with the MINI's racing heritage like the GT3RS in the photo above. The works Jagermeister cars used to be orange

they also offer the 997GT3RS in a fetching shade of green , which I also believe was used by factory race teams in the past.....

Having said that I would like to see the R56 JCW in Solid black, pure white and some good in yer face colours....

Jet Black would be nice.

Rakey · Nov 24th, 2006, 10:59 AM

hmmm, yes jet black would be great, real stealth

Fevs · Nov 24th, 2006, 11:03 AM

would love to see it in jet black or pure white for sure
what ever colour it is i hope thay make it a solid one not metallic !!!

Echo all the comments on solid colours - I still think that solid colour = MINI / mini. Not metallic. It is just that though - an opinion.

Would love to see pure white, non-metallic blue, stronger red, jet black and a decent green.

wouldn't listen to the dealer, they'll just be guessing on the past car

solid BRG would be good, with some yellow highlights

Now I love the sound of that - in fact a JCW option, yellow highlights anyone?

JWF · Nov 24th, 2006, 11:26 AM

yeah if ive lerant one thing its not to listen to dealers i think theres a good reson why mike cooper now works direct for bmw

but i think a colour range of say all solid - BRG / blue / ornage would be cool bit of veritay and to set them apart from the normal car and possibly a custom areo kit (and that scoop i think will prove more than cosmetic)

JWF · Nov 24th, 2006, 11:27 AM

say 4 custom spot lights on the grill in yellow as a jcw only option would be neat

:: Jon :: · Nov 24th, 2006, 11:28 AM

solid BLACK.... then i may be tempted...

or how about actually setting them into the grill nice and flush

I think it should have its own unique grill too

mGP · Nov 25th, 2006, 03:13 PM

I would love to see a metalic white that is a lot whiter and brighter than PW ,would go very nicely with a black roof.

Jordan210 · Nov 25th, 2006, 03:35 PM

Yer the Lambo Pearl white would be cool...
Alpine white ?......

Maybe some of the BMW M colours

Phoenix Yellow could look cool.
