    in person it is very close and looks great-if you are a "red" guy, do it-you won't regret it! and remember red IS the Fastest color and RED IS THE BESTEST COLOR!!

    Yeah your MINI is just Green with envy over my hot Chili Red and Black Mini. :Thumbsup::lol::lol::lol::ihih:

    As for all Black, I will never own another All Black car. The moment its clean and waxed its dusty and dirty again. :mad2::mad2::mad2:

    MM...love what you've done with Calvin! Red has always caught my eye and was already on my short list. Finding the JCW interior may have locked it in the top position!

    Gee...this place is pretty friendly. :D

    Thanks again everyone!

    One thing about MINIs... They have such great colors to choose from.

    But people..... GREEN means Go.

    Chili Red with a Black top is the cat's a$$..... Or the new JCW Black with a Red top... Or, the Classic White with a Red top. All are awesome combos!

    Best'a luck on your color choice journey. :beer

    I love red cars. You should go with the red/red/red trifecta. Red make the car go faster. I think it's worth a couple of hp. I am working some red into the black of mine to pick up some speed.

    That concerned me too Jim but the configurator let me build it and my MA didn't baulk when I ran a question about the combination past her.

    I now return you to your previously scheduled program..."BRG vs. Chili Red - Which Is Faster?" :)

    Thanks Mr Jim.

    I've been playing some more. This time I pulled up a JCW and the configurator says the JCW red roof is in fact Chili Red. The JCW interior should match the JCW roof...right!?

    I was afraid the roof red was a completely different color.

    I'm feeling better about this but not quite convinced yet.

    Thanks again,
    -John

    I could be wrong, but I thought you could NOT get the JCW red interior unless you built a JCW MINI. I thought they kept that interior only for the JCW.

    That is good to know. Thanks for the update. I always thought that was kind of silly, as I like those colors. JCW's are way over rated IMHO. :lol:
