Horizon Blue - white or amber turn signals?

Hi everyone, I think I am going to roll with the new Horizon Blue versus HC on a JCW Clubman. Now plan to do HB with silver roof and mirrors, silver C-pillars!

But I am having trouble deciding on the color of the turn signal lights - should I do white or amber? I like the fronts in white but the rears in amber........weird, but true.

Besides it being a matter of individual taste, I guess it depends upon how much money you think it's worth to change them.

I have amber on my PW. I like the white ones on the blue, silver, and red colors and the amber on PW, HC, and yellow. MINI is all about "you-ification", so make it your own.

If you get white and don't like it it'll be easy to find someone who wants to trade with you.

My vote is always for white - seems the option most worth $100, but there are colors that amber looks better on than others. I think blue would be one that I'd strongly prefer white. But I have a personal vendetta against the color orange - I just hate it, so take my advice with a grain of salt.

I vote white. Generally matches everything better than that orangey amber color.

I vote white.

In keeping with you-ification though, I really want my Clubman to be purple haze. I notice they have it in the custom paint shop at the MiniUSA website. Does that mean I might be able to get it or does that mean they do not update their website?

Good point!

I think I am going to go with the WHITE as IMHO they will look better with the blue. I like the fronts, but don't know about the rears.........can probably swap them out for the ambers easy enough
