L.MINI - do I have to look at your picture everytime you post something??? You post too much for that! Your MINI picture is one thing but you too? C'mon!

 

I REALLY hope you're kidding.....but if it bothers you SO much I will take it down....sheesh, I didn't think I was THAT horrible looking!

This should help... (I hope) as you can compare real pics to these.

Chili Red
Yellow
Dark Silver
Electric Blue
Gold
Indi Blue
Pure Silver
British Racing Green
Black

Hope this helps.

IMO the colors with this config tool are closer than that of the MINI USA site. But still not the same as the real deal. Just a little different.

Happy Motoring,

PS. No offense taken here L.Mini.

 

This is the MINI I dream of. A basic PW/B Cooper with stripes, chrome trim & sport seats, then no other options 'cept the Works conversion, SPAX coilovers (lowering the car), and aftermarket 195/60R15 Yoko AVS Intermediates. To my eye, the free 7-hole "Imola" wheels have the best proportions. I'm still debating the rally fog lamps.

First, a minivan. And then....

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh

Another vote for the Pepper White. In fact, with only about two weeks to go before picking up my MINI, I called my dealer today and cancelled my Chili Red to get the Pepper White. It means waiting another two months, but I think it will be worth it.

Also decided to get the multi-function steering wheel. Woohoo. Living the high life now.


L.Mini -- I thought your picture was cute. Sorry to see it go.

I haven't seen a color combo I don't like. One thing I do wish for is more interior color options. On the MCS in CR, your only options are black or grey and black.

BTW, I agree with Vincenzo, L.Mini should keep the pictures - I liked them :smile:

Congrats! Excellent choice!

 

Thanks Cooper4us. It was this thread that actually convinced me to go for the pepper white. It means a little longer wait, but that gives me more time to clean out the garage to make room for the new arrival.

 

L.Mini don't listen to greatgro, we at Florida International University like the pic.

 

I'd love to see a Indi Blue MCS with Aero kit, R90 wheels, Black top and stripes

Would love to get a hold of the config software too

 

crom,
Welcome to the site.....
Sorry it took me a bit on this... I was out most of the evening.
Hope this is what you wanted.
Happy Motoring,

Indi Blue "S" with Aero and R90's

 

Hello MINIFriends..

Lets talk interiors. What did you choose and why??

I can't understand why I can't get the sport seats with the Cordoba Beige soft seats. ..and Why not the Leather on a Cooper without the PROFILE PIMPLES!!

Is MINI just trying to make it difficult for me???

Yeah, the color combo options offered are a bit messed up. I wanted to get the blue/black leather seats for my Indi Blue MINI (makes sense, no?) and my saleswoman said they couldn't do that. Weird. Oh well.

 

I'm getting a DS MCS with white roof, mirrors and white wheels. Premium, Sport and Cold Weather with the Lapis Blue leather. If you could do up a DS MCS with the white roof, mirrors and s-lites I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,

 

We got the stock interior (Black Leatherette standard seats) but with the Silver Gray interior door panel trim. It helps brake the "All Black" monotony a little bit. The Tartan Red kaleido cloth interior is handsome also (If you are into red interiors) and looks best in Pepper White, Pure Silver and Cosmos/Jet Black Coopers.
