Are you sure it didn't start as CR, and this is the result of the Hawaii sun?

Real men drive pink cars

Half way down, on the left, just below the giant breasts (KNEW I'd get you to look!)

I think it started out as a Pure Silver that got morphed into this....

Hate the stripes (they don't look like they fit) but I think the color is actually pretty cool... (and I'm NOT a big pink fan--I like it cause it's kitschy)

I WANT IT!!! Maybe it's because my favorite color is pink (and I'm a girl). But I didn't think I would like the way the MINI looked in pink. But the white bonnet stripes make it look nice. Now all it needs are white rims.

If it's left out in the sun any longer, will it turn into a red MINI? Get some sunblock on that car!

Being a soft summer blond, most of the colors that look good on me are pastels.

This would have been my first choice if it were available.

But I also love my IB/W MCS! ....Or Silk Green,.... or Liquid Yellow!

I actually prefer it to the Solid Gold Metallic color.

The paint job looks factory. Not bad for an aftermarket job.

Cool looking color. Mary Kay's version of Pink is disgusting because it is too pale. This is very unique.

I would not drive it myself but women this color would be a nice alternative. Is BMW testing the waters here???

That is TOO funny. I did wonder why that wasn't a color they came in.

I was a bit skeptical when I heard that there was a pink MINI in Hawai`i, but when I saw this up close, the metallic pink looks pretty sharp. The metallic makes it really sparkle, not a HOT pink like I imagined.

Pink-?! Nicely done with the metallic.
Now put a header and magnaflow on it. Maybe a race number with white circle ball on the door.
Sort of reminds me of the love bug- remember that one?

Is this the pink MINI I heard was in the works. Bought by parents of a 15 year old with the intention of painting it pink from the get go?

Tell her about the MINI club we have in Hawaii so we can see more of it in the future. Maybe a recruit for the future Mary Kay Club of America.

I'd like to see a MINI with the colour changing paint or maybe that plum purple you see on old classic cars.
