So many color choices!

I'm about to order a 2007 mcs and am stuck on so many things in the configurator.

Primary issue is color.

Every color combo looks GREAT! I don't know what to do.
I feel I need to see all the colors on the MINI before I can make a decision.
I saw the new Yellow on the Alta MINI at AMVIV and REALLY Dig it... but then again all those other colors are probably just as nice!

Aloha and welcome to NAM.

The colors look good because their designed to be good.

White roof and mirrors is classic and offers cooler temperatures inside.
Black roof and mirrors is more agressive and less common. Black roof matches sunroof better- less contrast.
Body colored roof is different for the MINI but similar to most other cars-
works for those who don't like all that contrasting of the white and black.

Light metallics are nice and show the least dirt and dust.

Dark colors and black are the most difficult to keep clean looking.

Silvers tend to be very popular.

Consider the interior of your choice first then pick an outside color to match. You see and feel the interior as a driver up close but from inside the car you can't see much of the outer color overall.

And there is even more-
Pick a color and paint the wheel arches or bumper valence trim pieces a contrasting or matching color- use a body shop to match the MINI colors.

Have fun.
