I was thinkin that colour too but would need to get a test drive first. Covered 21000 mile in the S in the past year so a diesel might be the answer.

That colour, if it's exactly like the Mini Site image, is ace! Best new Mini colour ever! :p:p

Even *I* might be tempted if the diesel is any good... maybe.

:cool::D

Nope! THat's why I like it. It's a nice bright fun colour, for a supposedly fun car! :D:D But looking at previous colour offerings, you'd never know! ;):p

now that's nice. Available from march I think. How great is it that it's not available in the S usually the other way round:p. Possible best colour for the Mini and you can't get it in the S:D

Should I ever chnge my MIni that's the colour I would get sets of against all the black trim very nice.:cool:

The nightfire red is only for the cooper as well and I think its available from March build also.

Every pleb and his dog specs a mini with a white or black roof.. :p;) You wanna be different? All one colour is the way to go. Gives you a much nicer whole base for graphics too. :p:D

strange colour, don't think i'd order that in a hurry, but agree each to their own, that's one of the thing i love about mini's, so individual.

This would be a good "fun" colour on a MINI. A funky pearlescent acid green!! I don't know if the picture shows it off that well though.

no its the new corrado or sirroco (its one of the 2) but that colour would be amazing on minis along with lambo orange

Just need the interior to be beige and you've got a BL 70's MINI-a-like. ;)

Like the man said it's the concept for the new Scirocco/Corrado called "Iroc". As in SCIROCCO

I saw the blue at a dealers, looks better than the picture but still a bit bleah, Nightfire red was a much better colour.

When you use the configurator you can select Nightfire red so I think it is available in the next month or so..:approve::approve:
