I'm thinking about getting a BRG with a silver roof but haven't seen this color combination in person or in pictures (the Build Your Own MINI website doesn't do justice usually). I'm not sure if it provides enough contrast as white roof (I will have sunroof, btw). I've seen many BRG/W but want to have the new silver U bonnet stripes and that only come with the silver roof. Could someone who owns one point me to your pictures?

Thank you.

 

Guess I'll have to mod mine a little more once it comes to make it unique :-p

 

Not BRG/S, but here's a CR/S in my gallery so you can see the silver and stripes. I was originally looking for a CR/W, but found a silver roof and preferred it. It's enough of a contrast for me against the CR (should be even better against the BRG) and I really like the silver stripe and scoop.

 

I thought about doing the BRG with silver...I don't think you'll see many of them... and think it would look really nice. But decided I wanted the Astro instead...and I would love to see it if anyone has pictures of one.

 

I just took delivery of my BRG/S thursday night. The only photos I have at this point are a few grainy shots taken on my cell phone in a poorly lit parking lot. I'll put the best ones in my gallery, and probably dump most of them here. And I'll try to remember to reply here when I get a chance to take more pics. I'm taking a break-in tour so I might get a chance for some good photo ops.

 

Just picked mine up Tuesday, but I don't yet do photos on the web. It is wonderfully sleek looking especially with the "swoop" stripe on the front, believe me, I love it and I just got out of a PW/B so I like white too. This one is much more elegant, more detailing maintenance on the dark color though.

Being a massive fan of BRG mini's and picky person (prof. artist until 3 years ago when I became a psychotherapist) , I would say that a MCS with BRG/S and the silver curved stripe would be a hot option to pick. It has a nice balance of old class with modern art mix. I wish I could see one in person myself. It certainly would be different.

I just purchased a stripless BRG/BRG MCS with chromeline. Im going for more of a snobby look.

I do bet though that brg/s in the MCS with the silver stripe looks beautiful.

rare too.

 

I like the color combo and get comments all the time. It is a little hard to photograph in some light as the BRG wants to wash out the silver (see the last pic). I haven't shot any pictures of Norbertt recently, but here are some from this spring:
