Im a proud owner of a clubman and am going to respray the car its currently green how I bought it ( MR bean green ) anyway im thinking of either blue or lamborgini orange. Im just worried will it ruin the mini if i spray it orange and would resale be difficult. I like blue as well but I want something more original.

I know this is personal preference the only part that concerns me is will it ruin the classic mini and resale drop.???

which colour would you prefer..??

IMO never do anything looking at resale in the future. Do the car how YOU want it.

I reckon you will agonise over the colour up until the first coat of paint is on the car. Go with the colour you like, paint can be undone easily as opposed to giant sub woofer holes and cut guards. Paint it the colour which blows the most wind up your skirt.

Go with your dreams!

Unless it's a GT, I think many Clubmans' high values are achieved by tasteful mods, versus round-noses which I feel are more valuable the older they get.

That's my 0 cents worth (2 cents rounded down)
