I couldn't think of another way to ask a question about a cooper where the roof and body colour are the same.

I bought the mini in a solid colour because in Canada it was available as a a $2000 cheaper model then the standard cooper, I'm still in my 20's and anyway I can save 2 grand... I always kind of thought that I could get the roof painted black later on, and add stripes easily enough. Now though I find the one colour mini is sticking out among other local minis. I think some minilite knockoffs, black honeycomb grill, tinting and side scuttles and the exterior will look really good in a clean way.

Anyone else got some love for the one colour mini.

 

Mines is all Astro Black but I sure do love the white top.

 

I've got an all Astro Black S currently sitting at the Port of Entry waiting to be shipped over...the same-color roof was the only option I considered on my purchase. So, yeah, I got some love for the same color MINI.

 

I like my all mellow yellow MCS. Definitely rare. I see a lot of white or black tops.

 

Oh this thread is not what I was hoping it would be about.

 

I get it...but I went back and forth about unique opportunity to have contrasting roof and side mirror colors prior to ordering. Everytime I saw a solid color Mini, it always look better..to me. Maybe it was the overall smaller size of the car. Ended up with Sparking Silver...everywhere...and no regrets.

 

Apple is all red

 

SS is a great choice!

 

ALMOST went that way. I started with the contrast white roof & mirrors, plus bonnet stripes. Got near to production date; was going to go with OB/OB with viper stripes. Then saw an OB/W with bonnet stripes in the flesh. Changed mind again--began to think there was such a thing as too much of a good thing. Ended up with OB/W w/ no striping. In the back of my mind, which sometimes moves to the front, I'm considering having a design painted on the roof (no vinyl--paint). Haven't made that leap yet, but this color scheme leaves that option open.

Short answer--I think the single color could definately work!

 

Thought about this too while configuring, but knew I had it nailed:

Astro Black with White roof and White mirrors. Works really well. Not too much white, just enough. Really clean too.

 

I also ordered solid Dark Silver, by choice. I considered the stripes, but not a huge fan of how it looks with Dark Silver (black or white,) and think solid colour looks super classy. If I decide I want something afterwards the plan is for viper stripes front to back (two thicker solid black stripes right down the middle,) much more of a muscle look in my opinion.

 

I saw a gen 1 at a dealer, same as yours, and fell in love with black and white

 

BRG/BRG here. Although I like the white top with a dark car, I really like the solid color overall. Very classy, and a bit less conspicuous in my eyes.

 

My first MINI, a 2003 MC, was CR/B. Current 2007 MCS is CR/CR.

 

I have an all Indi Blue which I bought used from the dealer. I would have prefered the roof to be white, but instead I have add UK mirror caps and sunroof graphic. So it looks great now, and I don't think with the white roof, the UK graphic would look as good. So it all worked out in the end for me.

 

My '08 MCSa is CR/CR and love the one color look.

I might add black sport stripes down the road.

 

(I've waited a LONG time to use this and honestly, can't think of a better time.... )

 

^^Oh geez Mark I got that.......tisk tisk

LOL

 

There is this thread as well.

Percy is solid Dark Silver. I wasn't going to go with a black top in Texas and the white just didn't set right.

 

My Phantom is all PS. Pics in my gallery.

I saw a pic of a PW/PW the other day, and it was gorgeous... and so different than the many PW/B ones I'd seen. Go for what YOU like!

 

First off, kudos for asking the question in such a bitchin way.

I guess it all depends what you like, first off. For me, when I see PW, its almost always with a black roof and black wheels. After configuring my car for about the 9000th time, I decided I wanted a solid color car- pretty rare out there.

And if I think its done right, PW/W can look super clean and beautiful. Not that PW/B cant, but its more of a busy look.

Either way,

 

I think you should do what you feel. I really like the look of an all single color mini. Think about it, how minis do you see with just one color?
Heres a random pic only because i feel the need to satisfy orangecrush's craving. Its one of the garage. Enjoy??
