Most common? LB with white bonnet stripes and roof or CR with white bonnet stripes and roof.
Rarest? A Cooper in pink, I suppose!

I saw an R53 with that color combo yesterday and I think someone in the 2006 forum posted some photos of their PW/PW. It looks really nice in person. I think the rarest at this point is the Nightfire Red MC. I think there might still be only 1 in the US with that combo but others are on the way and should be here in a week or so.

Rare? If we're not talking R56-only then Silk Green Coopers. The most rare, imo, is a PS or PW Cooper with black bumper strips...you'll see very few of those!! For R56, Oxygen Blue...I've still not seen one.

i agree -- i saw a PW/PW with sunroof which looked really nice. (the black sunroof making a great contrast. but the car i originally posted about was a PW with pure white roof! it must have been aftermarket ... i didn't think MINI offered that. (at least the configurator doesn't allow it!)

I went to a Scottsdale rally the day before I bought my SS/Tuscan. 60 or so cars, mostly R50/53s of course. I can tell you the 2 blues and red are by far the most common colors, with black interiors of course. Lots of bonnet stripes in white.

At the Dragon, I saw a Cooper in one of the colours that was "S"-only in the United States (Indi Blue, perhaps?)

in my area red/black is most common and gold, velvet red or silk green is least common.

Velvet red w/ or w/out white roof would probably make it into the rare color combo.
