I was fortunate enough to see all three versions of the SG at MINI of Hawaii,
and by far your color combo is the sweeeetest.

Aloha and welcome on board. Couple of weeks ago, an all Jet Black MCS arrived at the dealer without an owner!!! Was almost tempted to cancel our MC order and get the JB MCS but it was a stripped down version for only $19775 Oh, well

Chili Red/Chili Red is for me.
There are only 7% of us with body colored roof in the US. I think we are the rare ones. Love my solid color MINI with Sunroof. No chrome trim for me either but, I think White Viper stripes are in my future.

I think Liquid Yellow and Dark Silver are the best looking colors when going "solo" with the matching body and roof.


My only problem with the single color MINIs that I have seen is that the matching color roof makes for some strange reason look the car taller a visual effect that is minimized with the black or white contrasting tops.

Also, in our opinion, all Chili Red MINis look like Hondas. The beauty of the MINI is the contrasting roof but if a solid color MINI tickles your fancy, more power to you.



I have seen an all Pepper White Cooper and much prefer the classy looks of the PW/Black top car instead.


I have never seen a solid Velvet Red or Silk Green, so these are the most 'rare' color combos to date.

All Chili Red MC. Love it more everyday. However, for a very short little while I was beginning to think I may have made a mistake. But tonight, after having watched
"The Italian Job", I know I made no mistake. All three MC's in the film were all one color. White, blue & red. All red! Don't listen to the two-color propaganda.
Happy motoring everyone!!

I believe the same color roof is a rare car indeed! I love seeing the photos and I'd really love to see one in person someday!

These are very sharp looking cars!

Austin: I believe all colors and combinations on all MINI's are beautiful. I have not
seen a color I didn't like. I think it is all a matter of choice, and I mean a real personal choice. The day I drove to Jacksonville, FL. to buy my MINI, I had my mind made up on a BRG/white roof, & they had it ready for me. However, after seeing the all Chili Red MC in the showroom, I changed my mind. No regrets. When I arrived home, the first thing my wife said was "its looks like Jon's (my son)
red Honda Civic. Yep, there is a likeness, maining because they both are small & all
red. It is parked everyday beside the Civic & believe me there is no real kinship except size & color. I will say the Civic has been the perfect car, no problems with
over 100,000 miles. Now, if I can just figure out a way to keep him out of my Cooper?.!
