Thanks!! I love the black stripes with the white/silver pinstripes. That is what I'd be getting if I got the blacks. Makes it pop! I love how customizable these little cars are.

Too customizable sometimes lol. I really like the shelby style stripes but I am not sure how they would look black with white trim. I am getting strips added soon but i'm still on the fence as to what type I'll get.

i dont have a black top and im not sure if you were looking for white for black stripes, but heres mine. I think the bonnet stripes look better than none at all, but i really wanted something different, also with viper stripes you can bring them down the bumper without it looking silly.

I bought a 2011 off the lot, equipped almost exactly how I would have ordered. Hardtop, manual, BRG with black roof, Premium package, iPod/Bluetooth. Would have liked cold weather package for when I move back to CA eventually, but really not needed here in AZ. Didn't make sense to order a 2012 and pay so much more (when I got the $500 discount and 2.9% financing by getting a 2011) just to get something that would only get used 2 months a year. I'll post pictures once I wash it (dust/rain storm last night) and take some good ones. Looking forward to doing some personalizing eventually.

I don't think I've posted pics of my green meanie in this thread yet, but after being together almost a year it's long overdue. Here's my girl Ruffian:

As long as it's not the one in front with the beard.

If NAM does the calendar again this year, you'll have to submit this - it's terrific!

BRG Stable Mate

Hi from the PNW,
My '12 BRG MCS with black top and stripes is about 2 weeks away. It will join my BRG Triumph Tiger in the barn. Green might be my favorite color!

Cheers, Kermit

Gloss black headlights rings!




Could not find ONE BRG with black headlight rings on here. Closest I got was one with body matched vinyl wrapped on them. I was nervous, but I think it came out good. Not good pictures; I just ran out and took em during work, ha! Let me know what you all think : )

Two Brits in the Barn

They seem to get along great, but their slang is hard to understand sometimes.

'08 BRG Triumph Tiger, '12 BRG MCS
