Anyone have a picture of the movie "The Italian Job's" mini? Or your mini with the same color and same exterior mod like the one in the movie?

I watched the movie once again last night and felf in love with it, especially the white one. It looks a bit different than those I saw on the street. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Already did a forum search and google search and found no luck.

The MINI in the movie was a Pepper White one... I think it may have had a pure white roof though like the colored cars get with that option. The roof on a white/white MINI is usually off white/off white... not off white/pure white if that makes sense. The difference you are probably noticing is the aero kit body kit. It's available from MINI for a good bit extra.

I'm going to need to post more to get any photos to show...

Jenn is correct, Pepper White. The IJ movie had two new MINI Coopers and one new MINI Cooper S. All of these were shod with the BBS R90 two piece titanium bolt rims. Takes a keen eye to spot the non-supercharged MINIs (sans bonnet scoop) as they are all dressed up pretty much the same.

White MINI Cooper is Pepper White with full aero kit
Blue MINI Cooper is Hyper Blue with full aero kit
Red MINI Cooper S is Chili Red with full aero kit

I've got a 2006 MINI Cooper S in Chili Red / white roof with the front aero kit (very M3 design), BBS R90 rims, white bonnet stripes, checkered mirror caps and custom side factory rock guards. Not the Pepper White you're looking for but close to the MINI Cooper S that Stella drove.

Yes, great movie.

Hyper Blue wasn't offered at the time. It was Indi Blue.

[I just need to get my post count up:confused ] Yes, Indi Blue... good catch.
