If your color wasn't available....

Let's play a game.

Pretend the color combination you got wasnt available....what would you have gotten instead?

I would probably get Hyperblue with Black top and black stripes.

I'm an IB/W. Now that it is no longer available I'd have to choose LY/B. Although the JB/W is really cool too.

I always thought Velvet Red and Black was a cool combination... although of course that's not available anymore either... so I'd probably make myself a part of the CR/B crowd. Always thought that one looked sharp.

If we're back in time to the day that I ordered, then IB/W. If I had to order one tomorrow then PH/B. I looooove the purple haze.

hmmm...I love this question!

Yes, seeing how IB/W is no longer available, I would have to go with either CR/B or PW/B. I like LY/B. So funny that I have a white roof, yet my alternative would be a black roof.

sright - when your car gets here, you will be in love, and you will love the color. I second guess my color until the day it arrived, and now I love it. I'm just so sorry the IB is gone. :(

As a second choice if cb/b wasn't available I'm going with Yellow/blk or pepper white with black roof. Both have bonnet stripes too!!

did not want to wait for a cooper to be built. sooooo i went to the dealer looking for a ps/blk and they ended of having a pw/blk on the lot. every option brand new. bought it right there. so i guess my original color ps/blk wasnt "available" to me when i wanted it so i got pw/blk. and im glad i did. it is a stunning color combo. even better than ps/blk. in person it really makes the car look amazing.

used to have a DS/blk, but i didnt feel it did this car any justice. just to dark and blah. contrast is key with choosing your minis colors. contrast is key.

I have IB/W. My next MINI will probably be BRG/W.

Hyper blue is very close to Indi Blue, but I've had two blue cars in a row, so the next one will be something different.

Presently have Chili Red and White.

I’d go for Liquid Yellow, but then I would have a difficult time deciding between a Jet Black roof, stripes, and grille for the bumblebee look or a White roof and stripes, chrome grille, mirror caps, and wheels for that look at me look.

I have IB/W. I would go with BRG/W with the tan leather interior. Or Black/W with the tan interior. SO I could have a black and tan and DRIVE. I would also have stripes on the side withe Guiness with the s's looking like the cooper s.

I have CR/W but would go for LY/B with black stripes. I like the bubble bee.

My wife thinks that BRG would look good with a Pepper white roof and mirrors if they offered it. More of an elegant look.

Cheers,
