Want to get mine ordered by the end of the month and still can't decide on the color. I'm down to hyper blue/white,black/white and royal grey. What's your vote? Would luv to see some pics, can't find to many showing royal grey.

Didn't even see a grey one while doing the factory tour this summer

Thanks

Lorri · Nov 12th, 2005, 08:03 PM

I'd go with the hyper blue if I was ordering a new one

SteveM3 · Nov 12th, 2005, 08:25 PM

Go for Hyper Blue, it is the only one that is a colour. The others are a lack of colour

.

raymond · Nov 12th, 2005, 08:26 PM

I was confused as well what colour should I buy it. But finally I decided to go for Dark Silver.

Jonny Muir · Nov 12th, 2005, 08:49 PM

i love all of those combinations, my personal choice would be the hyper blue, just make sure you stick some white vipers on it, looks great with hyper blue

k m s · Nov 12th, 2005, 09:00 PM

Mine is hyper blue, personally think it's the best colour (but then I would say that!)

There's a few pictures in my gallery

Of those combination I would choose hyper blue, since it looks great.
But it depends which one you like of course.

The royal grey is very rare, it looks like. So that can be a good choice.

Good luck!

Brynster · Nov 13th, 2005, 06:21 AM

Got my HB/W this week and would post some pics immediately and gladly but don't know how it's done.

Anyone help, please, and you'll have some nice views of Hyper Blue with a White Roof and Chrome Line exterior to view....?

PS if you go to the Gallery section and choose Cooper S, there are loads of official photos of the car in... guess which colour....

There is also a Hyper Blue registry thread which features owners' cars in.....

St00ge · Nov 13th, 2005, 06:28 AM

I'd personally go for the Dark Silver. Its a pain to clean, but Dark Silver with a Black roof ,black bonnet stripes and mirrors, looks brilliant. Then the second best colour combo is the Hyper Blue, white roof, white bonnet stripes and mirrors. Forget about the black and white combo, not half as good as the others. Only personal opinion.

Hyper Blue FTW!

I normally upload the photos into my gallery and then copy and paste the hyperlink into the post, they then appear as clickable thumbnails e.g.

Brynster · Nov 13th, 2005, 09:15 AM

Thanks, KMS, have just started doing that. ( I'm a bit of an old codger. So rather slow to catch onto the jargon/techniques.) Cheers.

This thread answers the question for you. I too love the hyper blue but the colour is being rolled out throughout the range, so nearly all the cars you see will be that colour. The dark silver is the best chioce IMO. I too spent ages deciding on the colour and these were my choices aswell.
I think the colour looks more mature (IMO again) and I think its the colour that in a few years will still look good. I think that afer a few years of the blue / white then the appeal will not be there.
Just my thoughts but good luck deciding, either way you can't loose, its a MINI.

the hyper blue is a head turner, and the dark silver is classier and just....meaner.

118 · Nov 13th, 2005, 11:45 AM

yeah Dark Silver

. I love Hyper Blue, but like the others say, it is rolling out across the whole range - DS is still exclusive to the MCS. I don't find it a pain to keep clean though - very easy in fact

k m s · Nov 13th, 2005, 12:32 PM

DS would be the only colour I would change to, it is meaner as someone else pointed out. Love it with black bonnet stripes, very moody!

Brewmeister · Nov 13th, 2005, 04:00 PM

e180881... Your point about it be coming a common color is a good one... I may need to reconsider
my options.

I suppose it depends if you mind or not. Personally I wouldn't as, like I say, I do love the HB, but I also love my DS

venox22 · Nov 13th, 2005, 04:11 PM

yeah i really like DS, they look really good in any spec, most other colours need coding or aerokit to look good.

Indi Blue is my Favourite

Nov 13th, 2005, 05:19 PM

Black/White. You'll love keeping it clean.
