i put my card on a Chili Red. Looks more candy and hence fits the coopers image. While Night Red looks a bit more luxurious....fitting aptly an SUV

Hi

Do you think Chili Red will turn Chili Pink after a few years like most of the flat red car colours? I think it does look a classic combination chili red/white but it would put me off if I was thinking of keeping the car for a few years. Resprays are seriously expensive these days!

I think the nightfire red will escape this fate

Just a thought.

I'd avoided solid red for years because I'd seen too many red cars go mat and faded over just a few years. Doesn't seem to happen to the MINI; I think they've cracked it.

I like the NFR, it's a nice colour, but it doesn't suit the MINI like Chili Red does. Give it 2 or 3 years and NFL will have gone and there will be a new colour, but CR will still be there; it's already been there from the start and, arguably, it's been there from 1959!

Chili Red/Black/no stripes... gives car a great sporting look, but without being CR/White/stripes like a lot of press photos! Check out the CR Roll Call in the Cooper S forum for lots of pics (mine included at top of posts).
