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

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.

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

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!

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