If Mini offers a true black in 08 I might order one with a white top and then paint the top copper... like a duracell... copper top.. cooper top...
kinda like this "mobile mini."
How do you think that would look, good or garish?

 

I think it'd be funny. There are a few BRG with gold stripes on here, and that looks pretty good.

Just don't go slapping "Cooper Top" or "Cooper Top" stickers on there

 

I think it is a great idea!!!

Do you happen to work for a battery company?

 

Go for it....and keep going and going and going and going and going and going...

Wrong comapny but still....



How funny would it be if it was a hybrid? LOL

 

I don't like the idea, personally.

 

I think it would look good if done right and complemented by a set of Gold/Bronze wheels. If the whole "cooper-top" theme doesn't work you could always get a large black firebird graphic added to the roof and do a Smokey and the Bandit theme.

 

I wish I had the ability to do a photoshop mock-up. What would be a better name... copper top or copper head?

 

Don't forget to paint the bonnet scoop and mirror caps copper as well!

 

I wouldn't want a "Red Bull" or "Miller Lite" looking Mini unless I was being compensated to help promote their company. However, if you're doing it just because you like the color combination, then go for it.

 

Yea, I have no affinity for the battery... I just like the colors.. this pic is not a Mini ... or even a real car... but its the best I could find...

 

Maybe the grill slats too!

 

There already is a Red Bull MINI. I see it in Houston every so often. it has a large Red Bull can that is mounted to the rear hatch at an angle that points the top of the can toward the front of the car. The can itself is huge - maybe 3' in diameter and 6' tall. It's downright hideous.

 

If you do end up painting it like this, maybe duracell would come to you and offer sponsorship. Might not be bad if you want to get into lots of mods.

 

There are lots of "Red Bull" MINIs - it's a standard conversion package the company does to MINIs they own and use for promotional purposes. I've seen them in Virginia, California, and Texas, among other states.

 

If I was going to have a can on my boot, it would more likely be Heineken or Hobgoblin than Red Bull!
