OK folks, please vote. Do you like the idea of a metallicGold, or a light blue (non-metallic) called Candy Blue MINI the most. Some (not so great) images can be seen by clicking on the thumbnails below as a guide.

LMB · Apr 6th, 2002, 03:03 PM

It seems I picked Gold instead of Candy Blue; could someone please rectify.

Thanks

smiffy · Apr 6th, 2002, 03:08 PM

I love the Gold but it would have to be on a Cooper with a white roof might look abit stange with a Gold roof on a ONE

Come on MINI put these colours into production

sdmidget · Apr 6th, 2002, 03:23 PM

I echo smiffy's sentiment - gold w/ white

GoMiniGo · Apr 6th, 2002, 03:43 PM

Gold with black top!!!! That would be my choice for my S if I could have it. Now I have to decide between yellow and dark silver.

Take the Yellow with Black top !
I saw it in showroom in flesh, looks fantastic - very dynamic !

I'd rather have pink!

Bit of a personal question aint it

Pink is much better than brown(or should that be velvet red)

Rob. · Apr 6th, 2002, 04:17 PM

Candy Blue with a white top for me. Maybe with a target on the roof. I wonder how candy blue would look with a black roof. In general I like the black roof better. Makes the roof blend in with the dark windows.

Casey · Apr 6th, 2002, 04:39 PM

Personally - wouldn't want either. If those were the only two colors on a MINI i'd buy the blue and sand blast and paint it. Maybe this is a difference between UK and US or more precesily the conservative Midwest that I live in. I do like the candy blue color - just not on my car.

Cheers

Smiffy, you truly are a filthy animal!!

Don't like the gold at all, and candy blue is great but a bit too close to electric blue, so is arguably a waste of a new colour, assuming the range is limited

Why not add something like a nice early 70's muddy orange... I remember Mk I Ford Escorts in this colour. (Mexico model?)

Basil · Apr 7th, 2002, 04:06 AM

back on topic. As this is the my current car, I have to "go for gold".

The Candy blue looks very similar to a colour used on MG's in the late 60' early 70's.

Paul · Apr 7th, 2002, 04:40 AM

If you place the Candy Blue (lovely colour) and the Electric Blue next to each other they are not that similar at all. Electric Blue is more of a metallic kingfisher blue, Candy Blue is a very vibrant kind of powder blue.

Guess where my vote went?

cmt · Apr 7th, 2002, 06:21 AM

I voted Candy Blue. I'd love an 'S' in that colour with a white roof.

UCSDxBoi · Apr 7th, 2002, 06:27 AM

Humm more people seem to like the candy blue more hehehe... I live the gold a bit more... Now why didnt they release these colors? I like them both...

ELISEBOY · Apr 7th, 2002, 06:38 AM

seen the Gold in the flesh and did not like it
Choose Gold for my mums Yaris which i really like but not the BMW one

Blue everyday of the week
love candy sooooo much

MiniMinor · Apr 7th, 2002, 08:42 AM

Hmmm not to sure. If i had to choose i'd go for the gold but i think MINI should bring out some really wild colours
like the M3 blue or the bronze colour i've seen on some peugeot 206's or maybe that flip colour alfa romeo do.

S2K&CooperS · Apr 7th, 2002, 09:30 AM

Give me GOLD with the BLACK top!!

That Candy Blue is yuckkkk, in my opinion. Not my kind of color. Don't think the gold would look good with the white top either.

monsta · Apr 7th, 2002, 10:14 AM

Candy blue with a white roof! Reminds me of the good old Surf blue colour on classic Coopers...
