The only difference in my short research is the Starlight blue and the Brilliant Copper. Other than that the same colors as the CM. Color is real important to me. I do like white and silver but there is just no depth to it. I am leaning towards the new Starlight now on this particular model.

Black is best

 

+1...I vowed to never own a black car...Until recently. I did two things I vowed to never do...Get a Benz, and get a Black car. The deal was too good to resist.

3 days and a little rain...


Just means I have to my wife's car a LOT more often than I ever have, because she sure as heck won't do it!

 

Not feelin that blue. It kinda makes it look cute and bubbly, when that cooper has the ability to look aggressive and edgy. The copper one looks sleek and classy. I do agree color makes these vehicles, totally changes the look. for example farfel all black CM looks tough kinda like a bulldog vs that cute bubbly blue one in vid.

 

White or Black top???

 

I kinda agree but the black top and black headlights make it agressive

 

^ Black top FTW..

 

DEF NOT WHITE, the black does help a bit. If you are considering that white top one it is time for you to step away from the computer and re-think this whole process. Fellow countryman owners it is time for an intervention and stop this insanity before you end up buying a yellow one and pop out the E in the back PACEMAN badge and think that is a good idea. lol get it you can have a yellow car that says PAC MAN on the back...brilliant.

 

Absolutely whatever you do, DO NOT go with white!! It's a boring color that has no depth and doesn't turn any heads when out driving about... honest! Your car might as well be a Ford Escort.

 

Yes. I agree now. white top is out. I have to narrow it down. I wish they had that gray from a couple years ago. I forgot the name but mini should come up with some other colors. Deeper neutrals. white is nice but not enough "pop" silver is nice but again no pop factor. The blue has pop factor but IMO not deep enough. Under fluorescent lighting at the dealer they all look good. But it's the natural light that is key.

 

BTW the Rktcyntst. the DO NOT GET WHITE was referring to roof not the car. I think your white countryman is the way to go ,if I were designing a mini it would resemble yours for sure, really think the white with red accents is the way to go!!!!

 

Hows the Cosmic blue?

 

Hey - no worries. I meant don't get white at all so there's one less Doppelgänger out there!!!

 

The Cosmic Blue is a great color only drawback is that there is not of customizing options. Not a big fan of the white accesories on the cosmic. If you are looking to keep it uncustomized I think it is the best color, but if you want to give your MINI some flare there are better colors.

 

I think the Paceman doesnt need any customizing. I love dark blue but I almost think the cosmic is to dark, almost black. I want the blue to be seen, and im thinking the black fender trim doesn't really contrast. Whatya think? Andwhats your opinion of this new Starlight Blue?

 

Not a fan of that Starlight blue for the reasons I stated in earlier post. All the reasons you said against dark blue is all the exact reasons I like cosmic blue. Its dark like a black but not black, the fender flares dont stand out that much and withe the dark rims and tint I have it looks sharp. I looked around the google image world and think you should get the copper if you are getting paceman. If you are going to get such a out of the box MINI you might as well go all in and get the custom color. I think the copper with black top and dark rims would be a good look especially if you do not want to stripe it. Just my 2cents.

 

Yeah I just can't bring myself o copper.
