Pic color request, for PH CR and HB

I am split decisioned for the color on these, they are definately my favorite. I hear they look differend in real life than the configurator at miniusa.com. Any pics would help. If it is CR, it will have black mirriors bonnets and roof, is PH, then white, and if HB, then black.
Thanks in advance.

HB is hyper blue right? I think it is pretty close to the configurator. Check my gallery or pics here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/4083565...7594096093465/

I think its too late to order a PH. Our local dealer stopped taking new orders awhile ago. Regardless, there are pics in my gallery. There *might* be some CR/B ones too.. I don't remember if I've deleted them or not.

Check my gallery for a few pics of my Hyper Blue/black MCS.

I think it is different than on the MINI USA site in the fact that the paint is richer in real life; the configurater makes it look flat.

Check out this thread for PH photos
https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ad.php?t=55424

Great color that is difficult to show correctly in photographs.

I like, but I will be buying in 07, and I realize now, that PH will be unused nextyear. So more HB pics por favor.

ok--here is HB with silver....I don't know if it is an option--our dealer did it...I guess you can check if you like it...
I don't know about you--but I could easily have a Mini in each color--they are all great....

Here's my baby in PW/PW/PW

PW Body, PW Roof and PW Arches

It has the stock MCS bumpers and the Aero side skirts. (but I replaced the lower grill w/ the Grillcraft / M7 Ultimate grill)

Doh! Sorry... I thought it said PW, not PH!

The PW might make for some easier photoshop fun, if you want to try different colors...

Another CR/B

A little different than you asked for because I have the chrome line exterior but here it is for reference.

I managed to get a PH ordered April 1. Production of PH ends April 30 so if you want one, you have to squeeze it in.

Saw a PH the first time today (I bought PH off miniusa) and it really doesnt do it justice. It is kinda of a Welchs Grape Soda color,,, I went with PH on PH.

I don't think any of the colors look right on the website. Real life or some of the great pics here are what you need to look at, i.e., you're doing the right thing checking out these pics

thank you, it turned out well-

BOOT currently has black vinyl on it-will be matching paint as time permits, already have an aero rear bumper done with the stripe on it.
