Very Nice!!

Much darker than I was expecting. Would no doubt change colour in different lights.

Looks like a really

the wheels in the picture, are they new

mikeythemikey · May 22nd, 2004, 09:55 AM

new 16" 7 spokes

Looks more of a dark blue than a purple to me.......Maybe its the angle of the shots or the lighting....Are those wheels available in white and silver, as well?

As before, the wheels do come in silver, and can be painted white by order!

BEP is not available to order UNTIL week 35.

I'm just back from the dealer, and AT LAST he had some real samples of the new colours to show me. But now I'm reallly in a muddle! I had ordered Cool Blue, but it actually looks a bit too grey and not enough blue for my liking. The Black Eye Purple is quite impressive, but the purple hint to it in the sunlight suggests to me it might be more of a hit with the female drivers (no offence, ladies!) So what to do? I must confirm final spec by Friday, as I now have a build date.

By the way, I'm also now favouring the blue leather rather than plain Panther black for the interior - any views anyone who might have seen this in the flesh?

Thanks all!

compare those pics, taken out doors in the UK, with a bit of dirt on the car, with the show pics & you'll be even more confused.

dalboyne · Jun 9th, 2004, 12:51 PM

Thanks Hat - a couple of great photos, alas it's hard to believe they are really the same colour!

I have an Indie Blue One at the moment, but I'd really, really like a nice pearlescent red (closest would be Peugeot's Diablo Red) as I think this would look really good on a MINI cabrio.

As for Hot Orange - forget it!

Just like Indi blue, besides the last pic
