Nightfire Red

[AndyP & Lenore]

Anyone know what this looks like? I know it's not available until next year, but will it be a metallic red or a solid colour?

Rover used to do a colour called nightfire red and it looks almost the same. You still see it being used on freelanders.

I thot that this colour was the same as solar red, seen on the mini 7 special edition....looks very nice on the colour chart anyway, really deep and shiney!!

[AndyP & Lenore]

Cheers everyone.

It looks ok. But I was hoping for more of a Chilli Red in metallic look. Nightfire looks to be a bit darker than I'd like.

I agree Andy, MINI nightfire red looks a bit dark compared to Chilli red but when seen on a whole car dark reds can look much nicer.
It is a fine line between boring maroon and a nice dark metallic red.
I think the new Mini Seven looks superb in it's dark red.

Nightfire red was available on the 90s classic Mini's and looked excellent (but is quite rare) . The Mini 30 special edition was Cherry red which IMO was not as nice a colour

<Drools a little bit> :p:D

There was a dark red available at first on new Minis, Velvet red I think it was. But it did look a bit maroon to me. I hope nightfire looks better when seen on the whole car - I rather like it.

Yer, that's the one. there's still a couple in that colour goign around Dundee. It's a real nice colour (especially in the sun), but only if the whole car is Velvet Red. Black or white roof makes it look awful!
;):D

As near as you will get Andy ,without seeing the " real thing ",the guy who did this copied the colour swatch and added it to the R56 model...it does look good ?

See that is a very nice colour. But. Lenore keeps reminding me it's only available on the Cooper, not the S.:(

I think the BMW nightfire red (NFR from now on!) is totally different from the Rover NFR going by what I've seen so far. :)

[X30YES]

Why can't you type Nightfire Red :question:
