What about Blueberry and Hyper Blue?


Seeing as it's one I've seen in the flesh and like a lot, I'd say Blackeye Purple just now, but it's too early to say really.

For us the choice is down to the blackeye purple or the Hyper blue (if it is the colour I think it is )

I think the convertible should be in a fun colour

In the new accessories brochure you can order a blueberry colour coded dash.
No picture of it though, does this mini that MINI have let the cat out of the bag.

Best colour has to be black

A good colour for a MINI Convertible would be pepper white with either a black or blue roof and red interior.

But they don't make it.

I think dark silver / black as over here it's pretty rare on MCSC's, If I could have any colour it would be Pepper White / black

Would have to say the most common mini cooler "red" but then again thats what I have so corse I'm gonna say that!

The dark silver is the classic MCS colour as its been around since the start! But the plus point for me is that everyone goes with the limited colours when choosing MCSC i.e dark silver and hyper blue or the convertible only cool blue. Which is good as it makes the rest of the colours pretty rare! Also love the Yellow but doubt I could pull it off!

Started uploading some more photos to my profile! side skirts and JCW stuff going on friday so will have loads coming soon.

Exactly - hence the best colour for the convertible being Hot Orange (although I reckon Electric Blue with a black roof plenty of black trim on it would be cool too)

ONe question - what is the appeal with the pepper white?

I would love to see a complete revamp of the MINI colour range.

Sure there are some nice classic colours (Pepper white, Chilli Red) and some fun colours (Hot Orange, Hyper Blue), but why do cars like the, otherwise dull, Peugeot 307 and most MG Z cars have a great range of really vibrant colours whilst the MINI doesn't? For instance, why can't we have that fantastic shade of Bird's synthetic custard yellow that MG's came in? Triumph's Speed Triple used to come in a colour called "Nuclear Red" which was an outrageous shade of metallic nail varnish pink. Great!

So come on BMW, throw caution to the wind and give us something really outrageous There must be plenty of unpainted BMW 1 series body shells that you can use up all the dull paint colours on..

Would have to agree - how come MG could do some wikked colours for about £2K, and loads of them too, and yet MINI can only do 4 different colours and they cost almost twice that much??

Wifey wanted a black/panther black, and I thought...NO!
They never look clean, and I've two other black cars, again at her insistence.
Of course, my views were fully considered, and we have a black one!
I have to say, I love it, especially with the white pinstripes.
When it was collected at the dealer, a few of the hands in there said it was the first black convertible they had sold, but it had attracted more attention than any other car at the dealership for the short period it was in view.
I really must learn to listen to Wifey...as if I had any choice!
