I'm the one in the front , then Sjolly, then SB.
When I was buying my Mini I wanted a Red one but after see the BRG I went with the green. Now I just love it . If you don't know the BRG gives you 5 more hp.
kidding.

Sorry for the bad night shot. I'm at work when it's light outside and it's supposed to rain all weekend so this is as good as it gets for a while. 
Let me count this up I have 6 stickers so that is 30hp right? BY the way I like the new stripe. You are really doing it right on that 2006.

Mine is the frost, which really changes depending on the light. Haven't done the boot yet, but I do have the material.

Sorry, I worded it wrong. I had a local shop do it. My guess is about 3 hours for only the bonnet. I didn't go with the boot yet as I am unsure about it for now. I don't believe I could ever do something like this myself. They would end up looking like a curvy road.
I like your stripes. You can see it good from an angle. The black sort of blends in from the side and isn't as visible.

SB,
We're of a kind--I paid to have my bonnet stripe installed as well and if I decide on the boot it will be done by a professional.
DickDavid,
Glad to hear you weren't hurt in the accident! That is one sad looking MINI though. Will the car be totalled?
Happy BRG Friday, All

Haven't popped in here for awhile. Shame on me. Sunnie is doing great We have had a very mild winter so far & I can't remember ever having the opportunity to go top down so much
Oh, I had a professional do Sunnie's bonnet stripes but I got brave & did her boot. They turned out great And I've yet to see another BRG with gold stripes

Apparently, they don't have the information to confirm this (as if my invoice wasn't enough) and had to contract a different service to do so.
I will replace her, hopefully with another BRG. Unfortunately, I don't have the luxury of ordering a new one and I'll have to get pre-owned or whatever is in stock at my local dealerships. BRG may not be an option.
