What unique color would you like to see offered for JCW?

A giant step needed for the JCW brand to mature into something like the M-division would be the standard upgraded suspension on JCW cars. But another distinction that will separate JCW from non-JCW would be unique factory body paint colors. What colors would like to see offered on JCW only?

I would like to see the usual M3 colors like Phoenix yellow or Laguna SECA blue or the Porsche GT3RS Orange or Alpine white.

'M-type' series emphasis would be nice, I agree.

Colors should be different from standard or S MC's to highlight the product. There are some great 'differences' out there!

Non metallic BRG I have to agree with you on that, a historic racing color to say the least...

+1 but really I would love to see a pearl white for all of the Mini's so maybe a different but similar pearl white for the JCW?

Another vote here for the non-metallic BRG from the limited edition F1 JCW car.

It has been reported on MF that there is an internal push to make this color more widely available.

For those suggesting pearl white, there is the Camden Edition "White Silver Metallic" coming soon:

Burple....a mix of blue and purple. I think that colour was featured on an episode of Pimp My Ride.

Some shocking colors would be nice... like the Focus ST's metallic orange, or the Focus RS green.

BUT.. the non-metallic BRG should be a must. I love that color.

MG offered a color called Purple Tulip in the early 70's that was a very dark Purple during the day and looked Black at night. I've seen a few times at MG club meets and like it more each time I see it.

I just remembered a special edition of the Lotus Turbo Esprit.

IIRC, it was BRG, had yellow (!!!) wheels, red stripes, the interior had yellow stitches, red accents and black leather, the steering wheel was yellow.

Add some red calipers, and THAT's the JCW I'd like to see.
