Factory custom colors?

Hey, anyone out there get a custom colored countryman and want to share photos? We're going to be trading in our leased 2013 All4S for a new one soon and just wondered if anyone did something unique, which I assume wasn't cheap.

The two colors that are rare for the MINI countryman is the matte black and the dakar edition. The Park lank Countryman is a little rare. But also the starlight blue and kite blue.

Factory and custom mean opposite things. Are you looking for custom graphics or something? Or a different factory color?

Different factory color. I know BMW does both individual configs as well as the ability to do any color for like $5k. Was hoping to see any examples folks may have done if this is an option.

MINI does not have an individual color " made to order " set up like BMW has at this time. Just special colors and dealerships will paint it any color you want at the dealership level is you have the money,. I have seen dealership paint whatever color the customer wants, back in the day of the Gen 1 MINI i had seen this happen more often. Not so much today.

In the old days I lusted after the orange two tone from BMW motorcycles. http://www.bmbikes.co.uk/photos/colo...%20Colours.jpg I'd love to paint my car like that, but no way am I spending for it.

These are not BMWs. BMW is the parent company of MINI, as it is with Rolls Royce, and not everything is shared. MINI does not offer custom colors. Some models (such as the Black Knight/Frozen) are special edition only colors or body/roof combinations (such as the Park Lane), but that's really it. Probably one of the rarest of all Countryman colors is Bright Yellow. You don't see many of them and it's no longer available.
