I hope these all find good homes...those bumper strips do have their charm, and represent that first iteration...less aggressive, full of charm. It will always be very special.

 

those're sweet. i love silk green, but i probably like that gold color a bit more. and i love the original r50 bumpers

 

I have kinda an odd combination on mine. I have chilli red, white stripes, red roof, black mirrors and regular non painted wheels. I always see chilli red, white roof, white mirrors, white stripes and white wheels. Or some other variation that is close. I think that is the best thing about these cars though, you can mix and match to make it your own!

 

Some are nice, but some look wierd!

 

They're all beautiful in their own way Thanks for sharing

 

(insert soft, goofy/reverent voice)

All MINIs are like snowflakes...none of us are exactly alike. *Sigh*

OK. 'Nuff said. OH, I WISH THEY'D COME OUT WITH AN MCS NIGHTFIRE RED!!

 

nightfire red? just the name of the paint makes me want one lol have any pics of it on something?

 

I'm restricted from certain websites while at work (darn military websensoring!!) so I can't oblige...but search NAM for the NFR (or night fire red spelled out) support group. It's a GORGEOUS color. But only made in MC, not MCS. Clubbies and hatchback models, yes...MCS... *snif snif* No.

 

Ah ic... It is almost like a pearlescent darker version of chilli red. Very nice! Too bad the MCS doesn't come in that I bet it would have been/would be a popular choice.

 

After I win the lottery, my plan is to a.) convince MINI to make NFR in MCS and b.) to start a show garage -- it will include (but is not limited to) MINIs in these jewel-tone colors: my own BRG, NFR (in MCS, as listed in part a), and IB. beeeeuuuutiful.

 

I really liked the Silk-green with the Aero-kit. Looks nice!

 

Certainly on 2nd gens., Nightfire red is one of the most unusual colors.

 

I didn't even know about this color, Any info. on it?, color name etc.?
Looks like it's one of those not available to US Market.

 

Goofball!!! That's the nightfire red I was talking about. NFR. It's only made in MC models (clubbies & hatchback)....but it's not made in MCS.

 

Solar red.This color was offered in late '05 to early '06.

 

so is it solar red or nightfire red? hmmmmmmm

 

OK, I lied - the pic that AutoXR53 posted is solar red...the NFR is a deeper red color. (I HATE WEBSENSORING!!!)

 

Nightfire red is a darker pearlescent color.


Solar red is a really nice one though, any members here with one???

 

There's a few.Check this thread.https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...=retired+color

 

I thought of another color that might look kinda cool on the MINIs. Lamborghini orange

 

that'd be a nice color, but i think i personally would even rather have that awesomely kick-*** blue\purple\turquoise pearlescent that you always see TVR's in....like in Swordfish.

 

yeah or as some call it Chameleon paint b/c it changes color

 

oo here's more rare paint

 

Probably a vinyl wrap but looks good any side pics?
