Welcome to the club! I have a 04 BRG as well. BRG is the best! Dont worry, it will grow on you.

Yesterday i just added these.

If you keep your car clean, BRG looks amazing and turns a lot of heads.

I love BRG! I think viper stripes would look cool although instead of doing white to match the roof I'd suggest either doing black (matte finish preferable with gloss black pinstripes) on the bonnet, roof and boot or do white viper stripes on the bonnet and boot and black on the roof for a nice contrast. There are many colors that look good with BRG. Bringing British racing history into play and thinking of the recent Austin Martin livery if you want to spice things up you could do red mirror caps or perhaps yellow/lime green caps.

What about some orange mirrors like this?


Not too sure though with the white roof.
Maybe dark wheels like this also.

Lower it, and get some nice gold mesh wheels with a polished lip, they look great with BRG.

That was preciously what I was referring to in my post. Orange or yellow mirror caps would bring in the british heritage nicely. Here's another with the yellow that the DBR9 GT1 car is sometimes seen in:

Sorry you didn't understand what I was saying. Bonnet=hood, boot=trunk. A quick search for black stripes on BRG revealed this (I don't like the type of stripes, but is simply for illustration purposes and I like the look):

In regards to the contrasting stripes I was mentioning, since you have a white roof, you could do both black and white stripes. The next example is the opposite color combo of your car (white bottom, black top) but you can understand what it would look like on yours:

brg ftw! im a fan of green and black myself, but I have seen some cool green and white minis. I think aero grills and rims make a huge difference!

my mini is also BRG and if i had the money i would go with one of the three themes, CHrome, CarbonFiber o checkerd, being u have a white roof i would go checkered, it looks awesome with the green and white, and u can pretty much checker anything.

You could always get a solid black or BRG vinyl cover for your roof. That wouldn't be too expensive. Some others have also sprayed their roofs with Plasti-Dip to make it black.

A few splashes of green/black carbon kevlar looks great with BRG. Or you can go with a little yellow too.

I agree, but like lots of chrome for the classic look.

These stripes are black with chrome edges (Aesthetic Creations).
