I saw one sitting in the sold line at Mini of Mt Laurel a week ago or so.

Very neat color, just a hint of metallic, and the blue is very striking. I'd be my pick out of the three colors you listed above.

I got a Kite Blue roadster a couple weeks ago. I really was not sure about the color from pictures online but its a really nice color in person.

I have a kite blue and really like it, but color is such a personal decision.

I have a KB Clubman.

Love it, it's a stand out without screaming about it.

I have only seen Bayswater R56's with it..

And that one Clubman at Mini of Mt Laurel..

I have a laser blue, and the kite blue is just a little less 'striking'. It looks good on the MINI.

IMO, the MINI can get away with bright colors. I had a red/white MINI and those colors really seemed to fit the car.

You can't lose with the choices that you listed. Pepper white/black is a really nice combination as well.

Have fun,
Mike
