scubbie blue If it's going to be different to drive then it should look a bit different too  May well go for scubbie blue......that's what im thinking at the moment.....one's thoughts changes like the weather though....do we know if this colour has been done b4 on a mini?....it probably has  only thing though i STILL want to keep it Retro in style |

Havnt seen one, but seen loads of old english white and black So is this one going to as detailed as the last one? that's what I was thinking on the english colour...shame they never did a welsh white !........yip old PAXO will be detailed on the skin ( Plenty of Chrome ) but not a lot on the inside ....was maybe thinking gloss black or Matt Black....skull and cross bones on the doors with " widow maker " script...you remember steven kings " Car " movie ? |

Speedwell Blue Tweed Grey. They all sound nice....the blue's have much difference in shade ? considered Almond green......looks nice against chrome Was even considering the same colour as my old MkI..... |
