    well TBH I think the colour does not help the cars case.


    I fear that in the case of the NEW NEW Mini how good the car looks may well depend on what colour you choose. Is'nt it funny though because really they have not made that many major changes to the outside of the vehicle.

    The current model pretty much lloks good in any colour I don't think the same can be said for this model. Thank God I picked Mellow Yellow.

    I thought that colour in the photo looked OK. Looks a bit like Hyper Blue. I really hope that the sparkling silver (champagne) type colour looks good when I see it on the car as I fancy that colour.
    I do think they have gone a bit bland with the colours for the new model though. Particularly when you see how many smart colours you can get for a new Fiesta these days.

    Hmmmm I like it!! The colour isn't the best but I reckon a black or grey model could look pretty stealthy with that black grill. Headlights are quite big but I like the idea of the styling being a variation of the original, kind of like the 911 styling route.

    Anything that keeps me from having to drive a rep mobile is a good thing. thumbs up to the new mini from me. Awaits a lynching from the masses:blackeye::blackeye::blackeye:
