New MINI Cooper

My girlfriend and I are going to be a two Mini couple now, she is debating of wether or not to get a astro black, hyper blue, or chili red mini cooper S, all with white roofs and mirror caps. Finally I'm tired of her driving mine and abusing it more than me . what are your assumptions on the color for a girl becuase she is asking me too much on color combo's, packages, plus she wants the JCW for it . the sales advisor at the dealership was like is she a speed demon during the test drive he was gritting his teeth on wether or not to let her drive

Welcome to the TWO MINI FAMILY family.

Silly question on the color choice though, friend. Everyone knows Chili Red is the best color because it leaves so many great mod choices and because it can be spotted from a distance of 4.67 miles (proven through scientific research).

And just think... you can change your name to "Chili Red and British Racing Green."

I think the Chili and BRG(white roofs) are the two most classic combos for a Mini.

I like the Chili Red and the new for 07 Mellow Yellow with Black Roof. Both colors seem to match her driving style.

I'll defend the honor for the Astro Black!

Once you go black, you'll never go back. (car that is)

or go nuts detailing



Best advie I've heard thus far (actually from a fellow NAM member)

"Thats a fun car, it needs a fun color"

Black did it for me (just like IB and BRG) I'm sure you'll pick a color she'll be happy with.

This is very true! I love my AB/W, but you also have to love detailing, too (and I do)!

AB is a hot color, but the BRG/CR combo would be like Christmas every day

Black is for limos

Fun cars have color attitude

CR is classic and will resale better IMHO.

Yes, I am a silly rabit. If I was a classy dude, I wouldn't be wasting my time on this forum like I do.

I'd be sitting at the country club watching the ponies run, while sipping my Dom and muching caviar and admiring all the lovely ladies sunbathing by the pool.

Fortunately, I'm just a southern redneck hillbilly with a red MINI..... yee haa.

If she's getting an '07, the laser blue is very girly.
ok,so I'm partial to it because that was my choice.
...but LB/white, very cuuuute!

Good luck to you both with choosing her options!
