Am I the only one to find the current range of colours on offer to be extremely disappointing? There is not one colour available that I can honestly say I love.

MaTTy_P · Apr 11th, 2006, 01:32 PM

Very true LMB buddy. Makes me happy I have my Jet Black

In all fairness, the only colour I like is Hyper Blue at the moment and the checkmate blue.

Everything else just seems...without wanting to cause offence, bland.

simeds · Apr 11th, 2006, 01:34 PM

i'm going back to brg, its the only option left i like

:: Jon :: · Apr 11th, 2006, 02:04 PM

only dark & pure silver now imo....

monty mini · Apr 11th, 2006, 02:10 PM

tell me about it. when i went to order my car i wanted jet black, was told it was discontinued, so i choose the electric blue to be told that was as well. i finally ended up with hyper blue . i do like the colour and wouldn't change it now but do feel sometimes that i was cheated alittle,specially when i see other jet black minis.

simeds · Apr 11th, 2006, 02:18 PM

it seems a bit unfair that you pay extra for metallic then find there is only a choice of 2 solid colours, no wonder pepper white is on the increase

I love my Jet Black Mini

I am only selling it because the warranty is due to end soon. I am gutted it is no longer an option, Jet Black is the BEST colour.

Yes......the same.

Astro Black is the only Black available now.

PMB · Apr 11th, 2006, 02:44 PM

I got Astro Black and it does look really nice, especially when freshly waxed. It goes really well with the chrome line exterior.

Personally I think pepper white with black roof and mirrors and black bonnet stripes looks the best.

simeds · Apr 11th, 2006, 02:46 PM

deffo back to brg for me, just trying to arrange a slot to go in and specc the thing up for june delivery

minicabrio · Apr 11th, 2006, 02:48 PM

Cool Blue... it's a sensation

Of course to get it, you have to go topless!

wildchild jules · Apr 11th, 2006, 02:57 PM

I have a HB/W MCS and previously had a CR/W Cooper so both the colours I ahve are still available and I think both are great colours! I honestly think that CR/W is one of the best looking colour combo's on the Mini though and when I bought my Cooper I went to the dealers having no real idea of what colour I was going to definitely choose until I saw a CR/W outside and it just stood out for me.

Jordan210 · Apr 11th, 2006, 03:17 PM

keep yours then Mo, and get a warranty with someone other than MINI, it would only cost about £200 a year to warranty it, there is a thead on here about it, then you could invest in a few mods such as 210 upgrade and brakes

mikeythemini · Apr 11th, 2006, 09:45 PM

Fully agree about the colours

for such a fun car where are the fun colours - Bring back a nice blue
