I really don't think there is a "bad colour" out there, I think all the different colours give them different looks for different kinds if people. When I went to look for my mini I was adamant that a wanted either pepper white or chilli red but when I saw a long line of mini's I fell in love with an electric blue mini one and am now the proud owner of "bluebelle"......yes I have given the car a name, everyone thinks I am potty

When I was there I saw an amazing BRG mini cooper and it looked sooooo classy and I was very interested, however I felt, for me, it was more of a masculine colour and that is why I went for electric blue because it seemed to suit me more. I have seen all sorts of people driving all colours and my slant on the "colour" issue is that if you like it go for it !!!!!!

BRG.....very classy !!!!!!!

michelle - did you buy from Bluebell in Wilmslow? If so, I think that BRG Cooper may be mine as of next week, take deliv on the 14th

Hi

No, I got mine from David Holmes in Stockport, I didn't like Oliver at Bluebell he was quite rude to me, put it down to the fact I had a budget of £9500 and hadn't got £12000 + to spend, but I know other people who really like Bluebell in Wilmslow, so my bad experience may have been a one off

I have seen the picture you have posted and your car looks absolutely amazing, I love the colour and if my husband had had his own way I would have had the green and not the blue, he loves BRG he says it's a classic colour and with not many of them out there it makes them more valuable.

I bet you are counting the hours down to the 14th aren't you, good luck and keep the blog updated after 14th !! ENJOY I cannot stop driving, cleaning and looking at mine

Doesn't get much better than a BRG Cooper S!!!

Sorry, it's the Fleabay special Even fitting the OEM parts isn't a big job - I'll probably replace some of the parts on mine with OEM in the future, but the cheapie kit will do me fine for now

Solid gold was a great colour - how many do you see. It was individual. Get that with a black roof and the darkened glass and you're on to a winner!

You mean like.......





Okay, granted, that looks quite nice. But, and it's a big "but" almost any colour looks nice in sunshine like that. Picture that same car on dreary, wet Wednesday in the UK and I bet you'd change your mind

Well no I'd still love it! Its the fact that it is so different!

Bullets. Woolaston have an offer on at the moment, but I'm not sure whether it affects bullets - they may be less than £1200. Remember though, large run flats are hugely expensive and you will kerb your wheels far easier.

Both the price and the word runflats rule that option out

You can buy the wheels without tyres and get some standard tyres fitted at your local fitter.

I saw a BRG clubman with Black pillars, have to say it looked very classy.

BRG/Black...classy!

[M.O.S]

BRG/Black The gentlemans MINI!

BRG/White The sport MINI!

Both options are great colours in my opinion!

Cream leather (assuming you mean the half) tends to get grubby very quickly, however, it does look good when it is clean. I have to say I'd go for BRG though!
