I get a lot of strange phone calls throughout my day, but I just had one that got me thinking....or at least Googling  :thinking: :haha:

Guy asked me if the newer Mini colour "Spice Orange" was the same as FK5 Burnt orange ?

At first I thought he was crazy...then I started looking at pictures  :rubeyes: Has anybody noticed these Mini's out there ?

 :iagree: I think it the clear coat, It lightens the color a bit. when that color in single stage has any age to it, it gets dark from fade.  :alan2cents:

If you Google pictures of both colours in all different lights, they really do look close.....I would have to see a Mini in person, the newer colours tend to also have pearl in them  :dunno:
