Revell Mini Cooper: Choices Choices..
I picked up the 2001 Mini Cooper (R53) from Revell this week off of eBay. Now it's time for color choices. I decided on doing it in yellow but Mini has three trim choices for each color. One with white mirrors and roof, one with black mirrors and black roof, and one with black mirrors and a yellow roof. What's your choice? I'm really not sure since they all look great. I snapped the picture below from off of the color picker from their website. (www.miniusa.com)
 I got a Mustang Cobra to finish first so I got time to decide. Adam |

I built the same kit, Looks awesome in black. Interior should have a lot of aluminum accents in it.

Too many choices!
I've built two of them already, and it seems every one I see on the street is in it's own particular color combination, almost unheard of anymore.
I really like the yellow ones, I tend to prefer the white roof/mirrors/wheels look, though silver ones tend to look better to me w/the black roof/mirrors and the more I look at the yellow/black combination the more I like it. Driving through southern Ohio I saw a yellow one w/the white panels, and it had a really cool dealer-installed checkerboard roof. All three of the possibilities you showed would look good, go for what your gut instinct tells you. |

Adam30k, I've seen a few of the little minis in that silvery ice blue color that I just my 360 spider in running around in Los Angeles with a white roof. It may look kinda powder puff a bit, but it stands out from all the other minis that I've seen.

That Mini looks awesome! Very good looking, I like the silver on the mirrors and roof and the custom interior. And of course, those wheels! Great job.
