Does anybody have pictures of a Pepper White they could post or a link to a site with pictures ? I have looked and looked and can't seem to find one anywhere.
I think I want that color, but my wife saw a Silk Green at the dealership and fell in love with it and won't let me order the white site unseen. Thanks

I don't have a picture, but I've seen a couple - very classy. If it came in the Cooper S, I'd be all over it. It looks especially sharp w/the black roof. Definitely wait to make your decision until you've seen it...I think your wife would probably agree once she saw it

Thats interesting........that "please visit mini2.com for this image" sign, is that something from MINICOOPER ONLINE or something instigated from MINI2.com's end ?. It loaded up fine before. Looks a little like an advert now, and that was certainly not my intention.

Basil,
I've fixed the pic.......


By the way..... I've seen only one Pepper white MINI but I have to say it is very classy. Has an almost vintage look to it. Looks like a color you would see on an old Jag XK-E or something.

They will be discountinuing Silk Green shortly and it may become collectible for Mini freaks.......with Black top and mirrors looks great.......I went with British Racing Green/Beige which is best looking interior.....also BRG, I will not tire of it as quick as vibrant colors............FYI...........Andrew B.

Saw a pepper white with matching roof today at the dealer. It is a great looking white, very rich almost creamy looking. What I realy liked is how deep that the paint looked. It reminded me of those mica or pearl colored whites. The pictures on the web don't do it justice you need to see one in person.

Who ever made the comment about it being vintage or retro is dead on it will be one of those colors that years from now you will still be very happy with, unlike some of the trendy colors.

Well, thanks, but not quite the right one......but it's the right colour !! I agree it's a nice colour...... I have much larger one's on my PC but am unsure how to upload them without linking them with http code. Doesn't look like there's an option for that. :???:

Here is another Pepper White pic (I have about 12 saved on my HD) - it is a killer color and I decided on my Jet Black only by "a few points"

>>Hey Basil, glad to hear that someone else ordered a jet black Mini. I was beginning to think that It was a mistake to have picked that color. I also liked the pepper white as my second choice. I have been following the forum on " what color looks best" and I think you and I my be the only ones that find jet black appealing. Do you have any pics of a jet black MINI?

Very nice colour... it looks almost identical to the BMC /British Leyland Old English White from the sixties. I had an original Cooper S in blue with that colour roof.

Jimbo - I am in ANGUISH after seeing this picture! I see you have a Pepper on order...I love JET BLACK, but this photo almots killed me.

This photo was taken by a gentleman over at "Roadflop" - it is from Hank Aaron (where I bought mine) and I kind of know the guy who ordered this car - he had to cancel his order so it is sitting there on the lot. I would have taken this car - but no sunroof. I need that sunroof.

Anyway - I emailed the guy about any more pics - should hear from him soon and I will post them here.

Maybe we should start a Pepper Whitegallery here (is Sfiveten out there?).

Jet Black or Pepper - what am I thinking!?!? :evil:
