What? You mean there is a light hyper blue and a dark hyper blue?

[Gareth Williams]

Hi Gareth,

no there is only one hyper blue but i am unsure if it is the light or dark blue blue as ihave seen two different colour blue on the mini.

It’s a medium blue, metallic so think you may have difficulty matching it.

Here is my old Hyper Blue Mini…..

really, im surprised you did….i didnt on mine….anyway im after a john cooper works….so will need to make an awful lot of signs 😉

oh tell me the truth was it the best car youve drivin?

[Brian Hays]

Still got the plate Rob, it’s on an L200 now. Not quite as much fun to driver as the Cooper S.

Lost lots of money as I added about £4k worth of extras Nicola. Not a good idea on one of those cars.

This is the best car I have had…..

Long gone too now though 😥 😥

[Nicola McIntosh]

nice car…. 😀 that must have been gutsy on the fuel, ive just accuired a 318is 4 door same colour…nice care to drive but i miss the control and fun of the mini 😉

About 18mpg around town if you drive like a Priest. Which of course is not easy :lol1: That was the main reason it went, plus the fact insurance required limbs to be removed :lol1:

Wouldn’t mind another Mini, bit on the small side though.

Would ideally like a dozen or so cars for different occasions 😀

dont you have S4NTA yet then mate? 😉 :lol1:

I know matching smooth gloss vinyls to metallic paint colours is tricky but if anyone can get me to a close(ish) starting point I suppose then I could go to the customer with some close(ish) blues and say ‘look here are the options, you decide’.

Nice cars everyone , when do I get mine? I’ve been doing this self employment lark for 3 years now and still no sign of it. Or the yacht. Or the villa in Spain. Hmm.

[Brian Hays]

Staffordshire somewhere, not quite sure exactly followed the Nav 😮

My other half bought me one of those gift experience things last xmas. Just got round to booking it. Worth doing although they don’t let you in the cars for long 🙁 Also had an Aston Martin, Ferarri & porsche there too. Could have paid a bit more for a go in them too but I had scared myself enough already :lol1:

Best not forget mate, you lose it after a while if you don’t put it on a vehicle! 😮

I managed to purchase a number at a rock bottom price from the DVLC website – I’m the proud owner of "W4nkr" 😕

:lol1: :lol1: I DONT KNOW WHAT WOULD BE WORSE FOR ME, SCARED OF SCRATCHING IT OR DYING IN IT… :lol1: caps? 😕

Gareth, from memory mate the metalic blues i have seen are a navy metalic. i had it in my mactac range a while back and maybe even oracal. but for some reason i think oracal has stopped offering metalic. in the uk anyway… i think grafityp "might" do some speciality films like this, if not them then creative films might.
the problem is going to be the shade of blue, the colours i have seen are all navy metalics. brians car looks a rich vibrant metalic blue.

Brian, your right mate… i nearly lost it a few weeks back. someone mentioned plates at work and i said ill need to get mine on my car soon. they then said what you just have. i called DVLA and they said if i pay there and then i can keep it. so i did. 😳 🙄 :lol1: :lol1: i was about 3 weeks over my year without it being on the car, so automatically loss the rights to it unless you pay £25 annual fee for it being off the car.
thankfully i still have it… 😀

phill…. :lol1: :lol1:
