I do.
It's not an LS if it isn't silver or gold,
just like it aint 850 if its a windup,
and it ain't a cooper s if its not genuine.

:D

Leave it silver. I only like clubmans when they're LS's... silver or gold.

Where abouts in australia are you?
How long have you had your mini for?
what are your plans for it?

It's your car, paint it whatever colour you want.
What would be the views about painting it Toyota Silver Flake Metallic instead of Hi Ho Silver?

My 1275LS is going to be yellow. 8) (you blokes should see what I am doing with my Cooper S!)

Is this the one you've been doing the engine conversion on ? if so it'll be highly modified anyway and original colour won't matter too much .

You're choice. I am also painting an LS a different colour because I don't like the original gold colour. In the end it is your car and you get to make the decision.

But if you are planning on doing up your LS just to sell and make money from then keep to the original colour.

Cheers,
Birty
