A couple shots of my 2010. I have owned it for only 11 days and absolutely love it.

I have a 2017 Clubman S All4 on order and it had to be BRG with white roof (strongly considered melting silver, too) and white hood stripes (this was a necessity, apparently, for my 9yo daughter) for accent. MINI offers quite a few great colors that aren't on the primary "Hey, look at me!" spectrum, so there was certainly some strong competition. But, in my mind, BRG still says "Look at me", it just whispers it...

How close is the 2017 BRG II to the original BRG?

Looks pretty close I think the new BRG is a tad darker in the shade.

New BRG Countryman

Just took delivery today! I'm on the fence about whether to get bonnet stripes or not (in white).

I wouldn't do the stripes. With those Masterpiece wheels, that's really classy. I like it.

Nice build!

Those are nice wheels!!!

I like stripes, until they start to fade a bit then I'm not so happy with them.

Some changes since 12/26/15. A lot of changes! Looks great lowered, but too low for my travels. Going to Megan Racing springs soon. 1/2 inch drop in front, 3/4 drop in rear. More blacking out to come soon, as well. What is the best/easiest way to black out the beltline? And opinions on the wheels? Paint these black, or does the gunmetal look okay?

I love the gunmetal on BRG, no need to paint!

My contribution, stock 2002 R50.

Mirror caps for my BRG

Deciding whether the black/checker mirror caps would look good on my BRG or just stick with the factory black

Got a 2019 MCS in BRG on order, hoping for delivery before the end of the month (due to be offloaded in CA a week from Friday).

I'm kinda stuck on BRG - ever since the 1956 Jaguar I owned, and then the 1974 Triumph Spitfire.

So here is my collection of green Mini Coopers, so far....

Gollum 1 - the R53 that ultimately turned into a real STX car.




Gollum 2 - the R56 that I dueled with in H Street, all the way to Lincoln.




Gollum 3 - the B38 Triple that was surprisingly capable in G Street




And now, Gollum 4 - the Dinan Elite equipped F56 beast that I now revel in.




Call me narrow minded, but (to quote "the Wiz"") it is keen to be seen in green..

Cheers,

Charlie
