I found it very easy to decide on options, seats, wheels, etc.... then it took me 3 months to decide on the color. Good luck! There are so many color combos that look great on the MINI!

Personally, I'm getting the Chili Red / White w/ stripes and Union Jack.

This may not help you decide, but I was told to always try to think how long are you going to keep the car, in my case a long time - forever, and think how will you like the color in 1 year 3, 5 10 etc.

I wanted yellow at first but decided over the long haul I would like a green or red better and got the BRG with white top.

Hope that helps

Don't tempt me!!!

I've been to visit my dealer several times and each time I see MINIs that look absolutely fantastic. The last time I was there a Pepper White / Black MINI. I couldn't believe how cool it looked. So classy and retro looking, yet totally new and fresh.

I wish I could afford one fine looking MCS and one classy looking MC (CVT).
I'd be in heaven!!

I'm about to buy an 'S within the next two weeks (going away for a week so I'm going to have to wait). I've come across the same problem, and as I see it I'v narrowed it down to 4 colors. Most of them are overused, such as the Pure Silver has become, but my 4 choices are BRG w/ Black bonnet stripes, chilli red on white(roof), velvet red on black(roof) or PURE JET BLACK! I'm leaning alot toward the black, it gives the car a much sleeker and perhaps rougher look depending on what your looking for. These are some good choices IMHO. Good Luck with your choices cause I know I'll need luck when making mine...

I would have to agree with black, i feel it to be a very sexy color on this car,but spring for at least the 16" wheels. Mine will be Black/White roof w/5-spoke 16" wheels. [img]c:imagesdj vip3r 4.jpg[/img]

Car color is definitely a personal preference that only you can decide.

When I purchased my MINI the exterior color was between Indi Blue, Silver, Dark Silver and Black in this order. The interior and options were the easiest for me to decide on. But any of the latter mentioned exterior colors would have been fine for me.

Good luck in your choice!

Hey there,

Although I enjoy my Mini, I wished I had taken more time to decide upon the color. My favorite is pepper white.

Don't doubt your color choice! I love that Indy Blue! I saw one just the other day and it really made me wonder if I truely want the Chili Red or not! My favorite colors are Chili Red, Indy Blue, Electric Blue, Black ... in that order.
