I like lightning blue better with a white roof. If you're set on a black one, I like the laser blue/black combo better.

 

If it were my choice - Laser! Love the blue/black combos!

However, go with what YOU want - with what your gut tells you. I think the stuff about cops/tickets is...well...crap. No offense intended.

I drive a Chili Red/B S. Red is supposed to be the most ticketed color - I guess because it's "racy"?

I drive A LOT (21,000 in 11 months) and haven't been stopped. I'm not always in my "spirited" drive mode, but since getting my MINI I definitley make a point of it.

 

Well, if you insist, you can get Lightning Blue, as long as you get the white or black roof.

 

Lighning Blue all the way... or CHILI RED!!!(jk)
