That green needs to be an '08 S exclusive color.

I've always thought the MINI needs more "fun" colours, instead of just one new shade of silver or blue after another.

I'm trying to remember where I've seen that green before. I originally thought it was Lotus' "Krypton Green", but it isn't. It really looks like the old Mopar "Limelight/Sublime Green" from the late 60's/early 70's. Has Dodge brought that colour back for the new Charger? That may have been where I've seen it.


Regardless, I think it would make an awesome addition to the MINI palette.

Agreed on the "more fun colors".

Yep, it looks - to me - like Sublime/Limelight.



Maybe just a bit darker.

Yep, Dodge brought it back on the new Charger. The new Sublime looks a bit darker to me than the old Sublime, and more like what's on that Clubman.

It has the Joey mod headlights too, they look much better than the standard chromed ones.

Then you could fit more mods in the boot too!
