What colour for the Mini?

[NoahRobinson07]

Right -

I've got to change the colour its pink for gods sake.

Black, Anthracite roof.
White, Black Roof.


or any other recommendations, I dont want anything to flashy which is why im leaning towards black.

 

[Reev]

White. Proper white though, something like Ford's Frozen White.

My Mini is Old English White and it's almost closer to beige...

 

[DaveDreads]

Black like this one.

Hmm, It's a bit essex. Which isn't helped by the fact i live in essex. I like OEW but not bright white.

I'm leaning towards, Jag Panther black body with an Audi dolphin grey roof. It's just seems more discreet. I'm not a flashy person.

black with a subtle blue flake to it with vw steel grey roof

Don't like flake in paint dont know why, I just like deep gloss colours, I'm modifying to the hill but, quietly lol. I'm not the type of person to have lambo doors and a metallic orange paint job .

 

[Poopensharten]

Audi's dolphin grey.

 

[NoahRobinson07]

Just looked at steel grey, mm thats nice. Bit lighter than dolphin grey.

 

[Poopensharten]

If you want to be an absolute shaved ball-sack hero, then Sepang Bronze is for you, Sir;

 

[NoahRobinson07]

Jeez, thats nice. Should go well with the chrome bits as well. Oh and my secret tuning which by the way is just a stage 1 kit, skimmed head, engine re-build and carb re-build.

Oh and dave figured out why it was running so badly. There was no gasket between the carb and the inlet manifold wasn't actually tightened up.

 

[Poopensharten]

Its absolutley stunning;

 

[Bluebeard]

I like Taihiti Blue. Nice and OEM.

 

[Bluebeard]

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

nocturn ph1 v6 id paint if you like dark purple lol

 

[NoahRobinson07]

Never been a fan of Tahiti. Or at least not when its on a car that doesn't have sports pack arches. *Mine doesn't and wont.

 

[NoahRobinson07]

Its absolutley stunning;

See now in that light its not so nice. It looked black in the first one.

 

[Sam]

The one and only colour a mini should be...

Sam.

 

[Rob]

This man speaketh the truth, or even the classic red (union jack manditory).

There's nothing like seeing a mint, wide arched, blue mini with a full set of spots coming flying up behind you. Just perfect.


I had no idea you were in essex mate, if you want a hand with anything, let me know!

 

[hughesclio]

Don't do it white it's a nightmare to keep up to, I only did mine frozen white because all of mine barring the roof and rear quarters is fibreglass and it's very difficult to get an unwavey shimmering look with a nice metallic colour.
If mine was all steel panels it would be either black or blue
Make sure you get some nice spotlights on there when your done, I have a nice set of cibie oscars to fit to mine when I get motivated

 

[Addicted]

That bronze looks absolutely lovely!

 

[Chapppers11]

Porsche do an awesome brown colour as well.

Edit: Any of these colours will suffice!

I may do, can you weld. I wan't to learn so I can do the majority of the work. and also because I'm being quoted ridiculous amounts of money for not very hard graft.

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

You're an Essixerererer ?

Need to talk to Scrooge and get the project on the go !!!

He'll do all the work for free Probably.

He does like Minis and has a project on hold at the moment.

I am an Essixerer. Unfortunately. Don't have a garage and I can't find one with power so all the welding is going to have to be done on my drive. , I may try and build a shed around the car.

 

[Rob]

I can't weld, but I know lots of people who can. Personally I'd just learn. Get a few panels/lumps of metal and go to town.

 

[Tim-182]

Ive always liked the DS3s with the dark grey body and a burgundy roof like this

I start college on Monday doing Motorvehicle Maintenance and repair so I may try and blag a ramp and the corner of the workshop . Need to fix the air leak. It stalls on Idle ha.

Black with Alien green roof, something lairy on top.

First post?

I'm discreet, I dont want to be noticed too much, despite having a 3" exhaust and a stage 1 tuning kit . Green roof also limits me to the bits which I can add. I like all the things to match. So if its black and green, the block would have to be the same green, if you get where im coming from. Basically im insanely OCD

I was looking at an Iceberg 172 recently and I do like it. Black with an Iceberg roof.

 

[NoahRobinson07]

I think I may have found the best colour.

The green on the mustang from bullit.

 

[DaveDreads]

Ohh good call Noah, but why not go all the way and paint it NATO green?

On second thoughts no don't, that's what colour mine's going to be.

 

[VeinAST]

Matte Blue?

If you're going to spray it black, don't make the roof a different colour. Black roofs work, not the other way around.

They do work,

your telling me that this little 8 Port monster isn't sexy as f**k.http://in.zinio.com/sitemap/Automot...azine/July-2012/cat1960016/is-416223885/pg-46

 

[NoahRobinson07]

Matte Blue?

Matte paint imo doesn't work on Mini's except 1 matte black clubman that ive seen. Also the up-keep is alot if you get a scratch you cant polish it out etc.

It is, but it'd be better if it was all black.

 

[NoahRobinson07]

Hmm, Im struggling .

Anyways need to re-build the car first ha. Oh by the way, mk1 rep

 

[NoahRobinson07]

I've just one up'd myself.

Aston Martin - Casino Ice.

It was the limited edition colour purely for the cars released for James Bond.
