My new (ordered) MINI is Chili Red, and no, I wouldn't change. I've always wanted a red MINI--even in the pre-BMW days! I couldn't find a Chili Red 6-speed "S" with a sunroof, so we decided to order an '07.

If I could, I'd change my '03 Indi Blue Cooper to Cool Blue. I love that shade.

Same here. I love my Hyper Blue but i think a PW/PW with dark wheels would look super sweet!

If mine ever get repainted it'll be white then I'll do what I did on my Jeep Wrangler. We took 5 brilliant primary collor and black loaded in squeeze bottles (the paint has to be thickened a good deal) then squeezed and dribbled paing all over the masked off car. The result was a rolling homage to Jackson Pollack (Jack the dripper). Turned heads where ever I went. Know the MINI could pull off a Pollick pant job too.

As much as I love Jackson Pollock, I'm not so sure about this, Lee! My all-Jet Black MINI is so beautiful. So was my all-Pure Silver 2002 Cooper. I would love to have a Pepper White MCS, too! But to be honest, I'd really love to have one of each color in all models offered 2002-2006!

Chili Red is okay, but a brighter Ferrari Russo red would be better.

I started with Corbu, an 06 MCSca PW/Black no stripes, minimal chrome, when there were none on the road. The contast was really crisp, though I did have problems with paint staining and finding warrantable performance upgrades.

Now it's Waldo, an 06 MCS Works CR/W stripes, 'cause that's what I couldn't pass up on the lot when I went to order a Works SB/SB with dark windows, color coded, no chrome.

From the beginning I really wanted LY/W as fast as I could make it. But, when it came time to order, LY was no longer available in the S. Guess all the scale models I have in yellow will have to do. I won't be ordering an 07 or 08 or 09 - waiting for the Z2 with the 3 liter.

I too would like several flavors to choose from each morning. Maybe MINI could develop interchangeable body panels.

Yes, I would repaint my MINI if I had the time and $$$... Lime Green would be the way I would go, with an orange roof... I have to say I loved my HO MCC, but I love my CR/B currently and would paint it if I had an option to!!
