At first, I thought I wanted British Racing Green, but then I saw a picture of a Hyper Blue MINI with a White top and I knew that was the color I had to have... no regrets ! I love it!!

The good thing with a MINI is that is looks great in so many colours, many lesser cars look crap unless in certain metallic colours. MINI has the major advantage that it still looks great in solid colours.

I bought my R56 without seeing an Astro Black one and am really pleased with how it looks.

I didn't custom order my mini. I bought her used. But the Liquid Yellow w/white top and wheels were eye catching. I bought her and am very happy. If I had to order one today though, I think I'd go with the Pepper White. It's such a elegant and classic color.

It definitely can be a tough process, seeing as how you can literally choose things from the ground up!

I have never thought of myself as a red car person, yet, here I was designing a CR/B MINI. I didn't like the look of the white roof and definitely didn't want the roof body color either (that's just like every other car!). I teetered with the idea of AB for a millisecond and HB just as long... then came to my senses and settled on CR/B. Granted this was all before I even ordered it. I order my MINI and didn't change any of the specs... I thought about it... but didn't change a thing.

Funny, I STILL don't see myself as a red car owner, but people say its a great color for me! It just works with the MINI I think.

Oh yeah, and it technically is my school colors too! (Miami University of Ohio)
