My 02 is dark silver with a black top.......the original owner changed the white top to black..... a bike fell off my rack a few months ago and I have some damage I need to fix ($900) I'm thinking of having the whole car painted..... I know this is a big job but I am thinking/musing of changing color. Actually black is where I was thinking/going but of all the colors that Mini does or does not offer.....any suggestions? just for fun:smile:

 

JB/JB but i would have a biased opinion!

I have seen a really nice lime green Lamborghini and bright orange Lotus Elise recently and was really attracted to those colors. But I believe all louder colors may get "older" faster, while black, silver and white are a bit more timeless. So you have to choose what works for you, I think a Lotus Elise orange MINI with black roof and stripes and wheels would look awesome.

If you're going to repaint the whole kit-n-kaboodle then I'd go for something unique! Perfect opportunity to really "you-ify" your ride. Your pocket book is the limit.

 

i'd go for that authentic BRG look.

the color that mini calls BRG doesn't look anything like the BRG on
the TR's that i learned to drive stick in.

 

Go for a color Mini doesn't have!

maybe a pearl black metallic used on the lambos?

 

Orange w/black roof and stripes would look really cool IMO

 

All cool suggestions keep em' coming

 

Your car is unique. It may as well look it.

 

Now that's what I'm talking about!

Nice ride! More pics on that bad boy please.

 

WOW.....more pics please

 

Sorry its only a photoshop experiment, but you get my drift. Like I said you have a unique Mini Mr.X, so have fun with it. Mine looks like this... gotcha!

If you have some idea what you want it to look like I'll photoshop it for you. Personally that 2-tone is hard to beat, with the cloudlike break in color Go for it!

 

check out my 03 Cooper S. I only painted the bonnet, and soon I will do the boot but you will get the point

 

My 2006 Astro Black is very close to Pearl Black Metalic.

 

How about a nice Dreamsicle Orange with White roof and stripes?

OK Key Lime Green?

 

If you will go crazy, Berky says "pearl white, or orange like on the Lotus", if you are going to stay conservative, go DS/DS, looks really cool.

 

Candy tangerine man all the way, I meant lime time green pearl

 

my vote is pearl white. the only other color i would have got the mini in.

 

How about Carbon Black from the M3........very nice color.

 

House of Kolor Lime Time Green all the way. That color just kicks in the sun!

 

some very cool ideas...keep em coming

 

Velvet Red

 

do u mean that colour that is not available here in the states.....more like a shadow pearl black??? if u do, i've talked to a few techs and that colour is not available. it looks like a Candy dark grey!?!?!?

 

If Solar Red was available on the 06 MCS, my 05 would have been on the Marketplace Forum months ago!

 

Carbon Black is available here in the States. Currently a color offered by BMW. Looks black but in the sun its a dark blue.
