Nope - that's why I bought another chili red!

 

I do occasionally regret painting and chroming up my car. It looked pretty incognito when it was IB/IB. But, alas, I'm pretty much stuck with it as is.

Before:



And, of course, I miss Sprog I...

 

My MINI is electric blue. No regrets, except it seems to show dirt. Also, when its clean, it doesnt shine. I like Black because it REALLy shines when clean.

 

You should have no regrets. Your MINI is one of the best anywhere!

 

I have always wanted a BRG car, and finally the right car and the color came together. I wish the paint held up a little better

My wife wants a PW/B, normaly I really dislike whitish cars, but I think the MINI makes it look classic, and has just the right tint.

 

Yes, but it does get old at times. I get a lot of people yelling hateful things at me, heh.

 

I bought the last convertible available locally and it is cool blue/black&grey. If I had a choice or ordered one, I would have chosen the orange first, then the silver, and the cool blue would have been my third choice. On the other hand, I like the color and only liked the others slightly better. It's not like I dislike it.

I think if i were to do it all over again i would get my roof pepper white instead of black, not to say that i don't like the PW/B, i do, but i think i would like the full PW just because the dirt shows up pretty well on the black roof and i like the look of it to. but i am happy!!

no regrets quite the contrary. I had doubts up to the last moment, even after while waiting car to be delivered. Now, I'm over the moon. It looks fab, just love it and if I had to do it again (MCS) I'd probably choose the same combination.

AFAIK, a "proper" Mini should always be two tones.

 

If Jet Black had been availible, I would have gotten that with the exterior chrome package. It just looks so classy. Oh and the Seven interior Piano Black.

 

I wanted Chilli Red w/ red roof, but ordering a custom would have taken 4 months. I settled on PW/B and I'm glad now. There's a guy across the street from me who drives a CR/CR and now I think the PW/B looks much better. Of course it's subjective because I love "Simon" and think he's the best looking MCS around. Strangely I even think he looks better than other MCS's witht eh same colour combination. Anyone else notice this phenomenon?

When I was trying to figure out what color to order I considered several. I've seen them on other MINI's and they look great. BRG, CB & PH. But I simply love the HO. Perfect and not regretting it at all.

 

Not in the least. Although, if was ordering a new MINI, I would probably go with PW/B.

 

Got the right colour, but in retrospect I'd have left off the bonnet stripes.

 

Regrets, not one....

The only trick; white wheels, green brakes....

Well there are alot of regrets on black, and then i clean it meticulously and it makes it all worth it, but damn this thing does not want to stay clean. If i could change colors i would start with the interior and make it piano black dash, and the dark headliner.

If i had to pick one other color it would be a close call between electric blue, and dark silver, both with black roofs.

 

I'm on my second Hyper Blue MINI, so I guess not. I love blues. If I bought a new one I'd go for Laser Blue, but I also love CR/CR MINIs.

 

When I got my first Indi Blue MINI in 2002, I loved it, but always wondered if I would like Chili Red better.

So for my second one, I got the Red - I love it, but now I wish I had the black roof (it was from Carmax, so I'm glad it's one of the two colors I really liked).

If (when?) I buy a third one, I'm thinking Pepper White, only because it's such a rare color. If you get black roof and black stripes I think it would look really nice.

 

It's been 2 weeks, no regrets and don't think I'll have any - I originally wanted BRG w/ Blk top but my wife found Mellow Yellow w/ Blk top -- I had never seen MY before and I thought maybe it was that Interchange Yellow, which is ok but wouldn't have been my choice. I love the MY and I hear their discontinuing the color for 2010...so it'll be that much more rare.

 

I LOVE my Horizon Blue Mini. I also have always really liked my Dad's Hyper Blue MCS. When the paint gives out or the car gets to be 10 years old, whichever happens first, I'm thinking about painting it a slightly metallic Burnt Orange with white roof, bonnet stripes, and mirrors. Or I'll go with a pearly white, but I think that Burnt Orange will be the winner. Hook 'Em Horns!

 

One of each would be nice -- But I come back to my Chili Red and Black.

 

Mini has so many color options with different exterior accessories so even if you had the matte army green (my next color when this 'wears out' ) you could still save the day. But in the moment I like my EB!

 

Ya electric blue is probably my favorite color, but if i got a r56 since they dont hav it............. well ill prob never get a 56 cuz i love 53s so much.

 

BRG is classic rock!
