On mini.ca you can get some great images of the mini with all the color combos. Just wanted to post a few so people can get a better idea of some color.

They have a lot of choices for sure. Would be 100% better if you get a Clubman all one color. The roof being a different color is ok but those rear body pieces look funny.

+1... my vote for all black but that's not an option

seeing them all i think black roof with red looks real nice

Only available on the base, not S. At least that's how it is here. Not sure about the Great White North.

Too bad. I love the new, darker Mellow Yellow. A MY/B Clubman S would be a winning combination, IMO.

Sigh. I wish Mini USA's images (both exterior AND interior) were half as good as those.

The exclusive colors for the regular Clubman include Nightfire Red and Mellow Yellow. The Clubman S has Laser Blue and Dark Silver as exclusives.

Why not paint 'em the way you want them?

Saw my first Mello Yellow last week and I say it rules.It is like the dealer described it over the phone--like the French's brand mustard plastic squeeze bottle!
Imagine a solid body S non clubman in Mellow Yellow with charcoal gray aftemarket wheels--------sweet.

I didn't realize it was darker. I guess that's why I like it now,especially with silver. I never cared for yellow before.

Maybe that will surface later down the next iteration of the Clubman. I could tell you were had with the contrasting colors of the FJ Cruiser like I did. In some way, I wish they had a white and brilliant green color. That would have been amazing to see. Wouldn't it be awesome to have four options instead of three for the roof + c-pillars? (Body color / silver / black / white)

love my reef blue but also agree that the silver backs are a little much. would have much preferred a black roof if only to find a matching mini roof box!

but it's going for a wrap this summer
