After an endless thought process regarding which color to get, silver was my choice. Ithink that the mini is a very trendy car and if I would have gotten yellow or something I feel that it wopuld have been too trendy for me.

The IB/W MCS with stripes and aero kit is just plain hot, there's no 2 ways about it. Plus its a unique color in this neck of the woods. Only problem is dirt... though when summer roles around, that problem will be solved

My Indi Blue Cooper w/ Black is also my favorite color and pretty rare. My least favorite is Velvet Red with Black. But all others are pretty swell.

The strangest I've heard of is Yellow with Black and a red interior. I haven't seen it but would like to. Sounds just weird enough to be awesome.

Let's Color...

Initially I really wanted the silk green with white roof, but when I put down my deposit last July, my dealer erroneously informed me that it wasn't available. As I wanted something a little more posh than sporty (much like myself, ahem), the red, yellow, blue, and british racing green didn't seem right. Silver was out, since there are tons of silver cars here in Boston. Black seemed too subdued. Velvet Red appealed to me, but my previous car was a very similar color, and as I had been driving it for ten years, it was time for a change.

Process of elimination led me to pepper white, which turned out to be the perfect choice!

I am dead set on getting the BRG, (I live in SoCal, so weather isn't an issue! 87 degrees out today!!) but I can't decide on black or white roof/bonnet stripes. I'm getting the sunroof too, so I was considering black just to match. Any ideas?

Someone was saying something about aftermarket tan seats - where? I would love to get that cordoba beige but alas, I cannot.

Go with a white top!
So classic... now if only Mini would re-formulize their phoney BRG into the real deal.... Their BRG looks like Ford Green... YIKES! No Offense!

I never had a problem deciding on any color but Dark Silver Metallic. I just picked up the car on January 8th and the streets were covered in snow. Every time the temperature reaches 40' I'm out washing it! The color seems to do fine when it's dirty. The only other color that looks great is the British Racing Green with the green roof.
