i've already placed my order but i can't decide on what color to get
i like the pictures of the EB/W but i've heard that it's a lot lighter that it appears
DS is good too...but more common
how's the PW...never seen it before...in person nor in pictures

any thoughts would be great...thanks!!!

 

EB/B....Rare combo and looks sweet.

 

DS and EB are very different colors.

The DS is very sophisticated, very serious, very classy. It is, as the name suggests, dark.

The EB is very bright, fun, as the name suggests, electric (we've got EB/W and love it). It is definitely brighter than it appears in a color swatch or online.

I like the PW a lot. It is bright enough to help hide dirt (like EB, PS and LY), but it is a slight off-white so it doesn't look plastic or fake like a pure white can on some cars.

There really is no substitute for seeing the colors in person. Try to make it to a dealer that has all 3 in stock, you won't regret the opportunity to compare/contrast in sunlight!

Good luck,

Kev

 

KevM is right. You're talking about completly different colors. Whereas the DS/W is kinda toned down from the EB, that doesn't mean you can't turn it up a notch. Like so

You really need to see the colors in person, outside if possible. Good luck and tell us what you decide.

MB,

Wow, that's the first time I've seen your ride. Vaaaaaryyyyy NAAaAAAAACCCCE!

It's hard to believe that's DS... the contrasting color on the roof can make such a difference to the eye.

 

Thanks KevM, like a lot of people on here, this is the first car I've owned that I even thought about modding. I'm thinking about peeling off the bonnet stripes and doing a double center stripe on the boot and bonnet. In white w/ black rule. I want to do some performance upgrades, but I'm going to wait until the dust settles and see what comes about.

I don't think the stripes look right on every car... but they definitely work on yours. As for the double-center stripes. I like them a lot, especially when they're continued on the boot.

Have fun!

All part of the fun of owning a MINI.

Since re-doing my EB/W interior:
new interior
I've been thinking about this combo:
an EB/W (or EB/B) with black leather seats, black door panels, anthracite dash, and the re-paint the interior trim in EB!!!!

Would be very cool!
