Colour Question

Hi everybody,

Is it possible to get a Cooper S colour on a Cooper from New?

If you get what I mean.

Thanks
Tom.

As in Laser Blue on a Cooper? No, I'm afraid not.

Certain colours are only available on certain models - you can always have them re-sprayed though

This question was asked by someone at the Clubman launch but even though they don't spray the MINIs in batches of one colour - the answer was still no. Though if you could get it done from factory it defeats the whole object of laser blue and dark silver being S exclusive.

I suppose it does beat the object, but I like the colours better than most of the Cooper Colours

Next question: What colour do you lot think shows up the JCW Aero Kit better? Because when I finally get around to ordering my Cooper I am after getting the JCW kit put on, BUT I can't have the Chili Red becasue my brother has a new Cooper (R56) In Chili Red, JCW Kit, Black Roof etc and Bonnet Strips, and If I had Chili Red I would be accused of copying.

I don't know why but the Mellow Yellow is appealing to me, but there doesn't seem to be many options that look interest for the interior which go with yellow.

I think it appeals to me because there is a R56 Cooper S in Mellow Yellow with Dark Grey Viper Strips parked on the petrol station in the town which belongs to one of the shop assistants.

I'm not a fan of mellow yellow or sparkling silver....... but the aerokit does improve the look of MY - esp. with a black roof.

Forgot to add, the only problem is I don't think MY would suit me.

Helen's looks well mean with aero and astro black! I have also seen the aero in PW/B and that also looks tasty!

Come to think of it now I have seen a picture, Astro Black Does Look good.......... More aggressive and stealthy.

What Colour Dash Trim, Seats etc you got?

Next: I know this is slightly off topic but which colour seats and dash trim do you think would look good, I Would not go with cream because my Mum has also got a R56 Cooper like my brother but in Astro Black with cream dash and seats.

Ive got the following, but as you'd rather not go with cream, about the red interior?
