My wife just ordered a British Racing Green with a silver roof. I was wondering if anyone might have a picture of this combination. She ordered the silver roof based on the style of the bonnet stripe and the MINI configuration picture but if we could see a "real world" picture that would be great. Thanks!

Congrats on your purchase, you'll love your new toy.

And hey I did a lil' sum'n-sum'n to my U-stripe to make it stand out. Had some very thin red pin-striping painted on to help with a border around the stripe. Check out these pics, and you'll see what I mean (it's subtle, but KEY).

Here is Floyd
the pinstripe is hot, i like it.

Lorkin - I don't have a picture for you, but the Mini I test drove prior to ordering had this exact color combo. It was a looker!

She has been tracking it about 20 times a day. I still like my all black MC but I am getting a little envious because her's will have the english leather seats.

I was tracking it about that many times a day. Now there isn't any point for me to track it, cuz it's sitting at the dealer. I've already seen her twice. It will be the end of this week when I should get her.

In all the excitement of posting pics in the PW27 and Royal Grey threads, I somehow forgot to post here.

Time to rectify that oversight. Here's Evie...

Union Jack for rear window

Hi all
I am a proud new owner and would love to put the Union Jack flag on my side windows. I have seen this on a web site or even here. The flag covers the entire window and it seems fitting because I have the British green racing cooper....any thoughts
thanks
K2

I have the BGR with siver roof and it look great! Sharp almost vintage in appearance. I order stripes from cooper flags and am looking for union jack window decals for the side window bringing together the British racing look. Oh yeah I have britsh flag bandanda on my head rests and an official England Badge on my grill. Sorry no digital camera for a photo because all my money is spent on my mini...
maybe soon
