When MINI's first came into being I wanted nothing but BRG! Beautiful color. It's always been my favorite color anyway. Forgive me but I just couldn't not get HO/blue cabrio. It's so hot. The next MINI will be BRG. I hope its a sportster so it will truly be fitting of BRG.

I agree, not authentic. Macco could fix it! BRG would have been my second choice, but I like my red. Hey, why didn't MINI do a candy apple red?

Ah yes, they are the "Wave" wheel from our friends (and NAM sponsors) TireRack. I was really liking the silver as I was unwrapping them. Later on I checked and tried to figure out if one could specify the silver color when ordering, but I'm afraid that there is no drop down box with a color spec. They are the cheapest 16" wheels that you can get for the Mini, and were $50 each. Free mounting/balancing and reasonable shipping is why TireRack keeps getting my business!

My drivers rear wheel center mount already has some surface rust on it, so I'm going to sand and clear coat it when we get a decent day around here (like in May ) but overall I'm pretty happy with these wheels, and LOVE the tires...

I am likewise on my second all BRG MCS. Just got the new one last Friday.

The 2006 will get a yellow lotus stripe just as soon as they get here (next week perhaps) and it gets warm enough to install (probably April). Pics of the 2003 with the stripe are in my gallery.

Here's the new one:Attachment 9275

Yep! Chrome grill. It is one of the best things I have put on the car.

I highly reccommend it, you won't regret it.

One of my least favorite colors- sorry, but it reminds me of a Ford Taurus. No offense intended, just my honest opinion.

I didn't think this was a "tell us how you feel about BRG" thread... I don't see the point in bashing someones choice of color - and that is my honest opinion too.

Hey, just remember, it's the only colour with racing in it
