Kind of hard to imagine my CR/W not being available, but if it wasn't, I probably would have gone with silk green/black. And if possible, I'd have the factory screw up in the same way as they did with mine, and give me front bumper chrome but no rear bumper chrome. I like it!

I realy like that hot orange, not a converable, with black top and stripes. But I could also go EB/W or EB/b, both are very nice, also really dig the pure silver......ahhh I'll take one of each, all the colours a fantastic. BRG/PW would look rockin'

I don't know. None of the other colours really sing to me.
Maybe EB/W, maybe CR/W. PS/B looks good. Or maybe I'd just get anything with a black roof and get the body painted metallic burnt tangerine.

Could this be something to look forward to on "Scooter 2"????

Ok, we have a BRG/BRG. If I had to do it over again, I think I'd go with HyperBlue and White OR maybe Chili Red and White......

but if this were a PERFECT world with no dust and dirt that could dull the car, I'd want the Tuxedo of MINIs --- JB/Wht -- so sharp.

Hugs,
PB

Ooh! What a question. I have a DS/B MCS and I fretted over the color for so long. Felt I had to have a "grown up" color because it isn't a "grown up" car. I get a lot of crap from other doctors that it is not a "doctors car". Hell with them, I love it, warts and all!

If I did it over no question, purple haze is very cool. The dilemma then becomes purple or black top. Let's see, what would those doctors say?

Good Question!

I actually settled for CR/W because I bought an MC40. I originally intended to get IB/W. But after seeing what is out there now I would say PW/B, although Velvet Red is REALLY growing on me.

If my CB/CB wasn't available, after much thought, I'd go SG/B. And I ain't talkin' Silk Green!! I'd even get a gold-colored chrome grille and side markers! I'd make the interior my current cordoba beige, or black leatherette. And if I could afford it, gold wheels. And to top it off, I'd do my darnedest to get license tags that say "SOLID"! It would look so horribly tacky, it'd be great!!! Hey, if you can't please everyone, please yourself!

-Paul!

PS - And yes, I'm serious!!

Wow, absolutely no one mentioned my new favorite color: Astro Black.

I have an IB/W now, but if I were to get a new MINI, it would definitely be Astro Black with a White roof and bonnet stripes. Looks stunning in the Florida sun.

I really wanted EB/B but wasn't willing to wait a couple of months to get it. The dealer found my LY/B and I got it instead. The rest, as they say, is history and I've loved it since day one.

Wow. I LOVE my CR/B IMO she's a HOTTIE . My husband wondered till the day we got it if it was the right decision but I am in love. However if I had to choose it would either be astro black on black OR the dark silver and black.

I ordered CR/W, but if I had to choose another color, it'd be HB/W. The pictures don't do it justice.

If IB/W wasn't available (hey wait, it's not!!) I would have probably gone with CR/W. Right now I could easily go with HB/W or my REAL prefence...EB/W...but I'd want it on a Cooper for sure!!!!!!!

i saw the coolest classic MINI the other day online and it was light pink with dark pink bonnet stripes and a roof to match! I might just do mine in hot pink with white stripes, roof, wheels and mirror caps... if i ever get tired of my HB/HB car... when it gets here! haha

I dont own one yet...

Trying to choose between Jet Black and Pure Gold

Second would be Pure Silver. Though I prefer Dark Silver over Pure Silver but that is a MCS only color

I wish that they offered the car in the white that is on the roof. The Pepper White is too antique white for my tastes.

I was going to order DS/DS but when my former car was totalled I gladly went with a CR/CR that was already built and in transit.

I'm IB/W... but I'd originally planned on EB/W, however I didn't like it as much as the IB (and this from someone who swore she'd never have a blue car) once I saw it in person.

BUT

I could totally dig a HO or CB MCSC, both w/ blue rag. (actually thought about selling Ollie for one... perhaps still thinking about it...)

If I went hardtop again, I might consider all black or PW/B, now that it's available.

Is it against the spirit of this game to consider every possible option...?

As I continue to play with the configurator, my choices have been between CR/B and JB/B if I didn't have my colors available. I would have gone BRG/W if the paint was not metalic. I think a flat BRG is more traditional.

you all know CR/W is the best, but if i had to change it, i would get electric blue/white on a base cooper.

I would have gotten Purple Haze / White if the dash was available in PH. It wasn't, so I got Hyper Blue.

If HB wasn't available, it would have been classic CR/W.

I have a DS/B, but I think that Electric Blue would look great with a Pepper White roof.
