Mirror Color for New Daily Driver ?
 
3 Attachment(s)
I'm looking to mix things up a bit with my new MINI. Any thoughts on what color mirrors might give it some "pop" ?

Red, IMHO. I just like the red/black combo.

Yellow is too obvious. I'll go with the red. Paint the calipers too and they'll pop along with the mirrors.

I'm kind of gravitating toward the red also.

+1 +1.
On the red and on the calipers.

Orange, it'll pick up on the side light orange and turn signal.

I agree with Skrapmot, the color has to be picked up in more than one element.

The green color is dated already, the blue is too fem, the orange will be dated in a year. That leaves the red. Or white to go with your stripes!

Me too. Red with the black would look best IMO.

I'm leaning toward the red also. Btw the stripes are silver . :)

Blue...live dangerously???

I did my calipers in blue and it turned out awesome! Anyone care to help me post pics of my calipers?...long story, I am low-tech, and pics on my phone, don't want to kill another 6.8 brain cells doing the transfer to computer.

Then I suggest that the mirror be silver to match the stripes . . .

Definitely a possibility.

Union Jack or silver to match the stripes
