If you could have a MINI in ANY color...

not just MINI colors, but any color you can think of, what would it be?

I saw a green Element today and immediately thought if that were available for a MINI, I'd order it today!

It was more apple-y green in real life than this though...this makes it look sort of khaki, and it's not:

Ok, this is my FAVORITE color I have even seen....I know it's on a Focus, but I also like them. BTW: This Focus is sick...500hp, custom wide body, etc. crazy...

Most recent picture with new rims. Same design, but a deeper dish.

That's awesome! Close to Lambo orange.

A real non-metalic BRG should have been available.

This past weekend at BMW Driver's School, I saw a bunch of M3s in a really yummy deep red. It would look great on a MINI.
My first choice, however, would be a green of some sort, but I'd have a hard time picking any one green. I have an old Hot Wheel that is a McLaren (sp?) and have always loved the true green color on it.

Okay...now for something COMPLETELY different. How about a MC in some shade of brown? You know, perhaps sort of a cappucino color with a white roof and black trim (the "Starbucks" special edition Mini Cooper?? ).

1) I think Mini should hire Cooperation.

2) My color choices? I'd like either a dark purple, or FLAT black. My bike is flat black, and it doesn't show fingerprints or smudges.
