Clipper Blue - END OF

Post by cookie1071 »

OK, let's put a stop to all these threads on car colours :roll: , with one on Clipper Blue, which is undoubtedly THE best and definitive colour for a mini 8-) , as I'm sure Mark :lol: and many others will agree ;)

You are all wrong....... they are all granny colours ! :o

The best blue on a mini is metalic tahiti blue on a sports pack, it emphasizes the curved shape and sparkles in the sun :D

( And horror of horrors its got 13" wheels !!!!!! :lol: )

Mark1peachey that is a fantastic looking shell you have there. The clipper blue looks great. Sadly my car is/will be granny El Paso.

Thank you Ollie78. Its taken along time to get it to this stage and will be a little while longer before its on the road but watch out for it once its finished !!! Just for the record in my eyes there is nothing wrong with El Paso or even Antelope both strong colours when done with the correct styling just happened that clipper is the original colour for my car.
