What do u think of those new flip colours I saw them at motorshow and thoght they look great and if i decide to go this way i will go for the python colour. I phoned my dealer today in liverpool and he says it will cost £2500 to have one of these colours but mini rep at motorshow said £3000 what do u think to these colours they are now available to see at your dealership would u have it done on your convertible more decisions most of us have already finalised our colours!

I think the colours look great. Luxuriant as my cooper s is going to be, another 2.5-3k seems a high price to pay for exclusivity. I liked the crocodile pattern on a previous post more though

I believe the RRP of the "MINI 'Dreamline' Paints" is to be £3,642.30p

[rentagas]

A mini for £28,000. (cooper s with all the extras plus a fancy paint job). Cooper S plus works £31,000 any takers? remember you have to pay for a black mini to start with
And I thought my mini was going to be expensive

Very Bling

spoke to my dealer about grey door trim with hyper blue interior-it is standard does it look as bad as in the photos? an anaemic grey colour, -will see tomorrow at the NEC
the paint for the flip colours costs over £500 ...per litre
my july build order can still be changed apparently

[daz111]

thats cool rentagas i am considering having python has a colour it will make my mini unique and stand out from the crowd but i have plenty of time to decide has my biuld date is around the 13th august i am wiling to pay the cost of this paint if it makes my mini unique and there wont be many around with this colour according to dealer people are not willing to pay price of that paint colour

Ive just been to a mini/bmw night at a garden center in ware and they had a convertible cooper s in pyton dreamline, and i have fell in love.... i would def have paid the extra for that rather than my cool blue if i had seen it before i got my car last month.. im so gutted

[marrsbar]

I think the flip colours look kinda cool now but I think they'll date quickly. As with most things, the more fashionable and fussy you choose, the sooner you go off it. Keep to plain and simple and you'll never grow tired cos there's nothing to grow tired of!

Guys I suppose if you can afford to pay £3,500 approx for a colour you won't be to worried about the increase in insurance premium's for having this as an option.
I believe the whole car will have to be resprayed if any panel on the car is damaged, the insurance companies are gonna love that, and strip you up on the premiums !!!!!!

Check it out and see what they quote you over the standard colours

That depends how you look at it, not many people chose that colour, so IMHO it makes it 'special'. People spend more on modding their cars, so what more could you do to a car that colour to make it look any different and not OTT , personal choice, and if you can afford it, go for it..

There at Halliwell Jones in Chester, but im not sure if there officially for sale yet.

[trailboss]

i used to work in a mini paint shop and i can assure you the work that goes into them makes it worth every penny.

you roll one of those outta the paint oven and eveyone stops working!

i sould still have the pictures, but we did three of the four available colours, python being the most common.

when you compare these dreamline paints to some of the flip paints the max power type of car have, the dreamline really stands out.

you might have to pay more for it but everyone knows you get what you pay for!


ill try and get those photos...
