Congratulations, Mike. Wonderful color choice. I've had mine for almost two weeks now, and I think I made the perfect choice for me. One thing about the green that I really love is that it is somewhat unobtrusive. Doesn't stand out as much as some of the other, brighter colors. That being said, I haven't seen a bad color yet, they are all sweet. It's just that the BRG fits me all too well.

Check my gallery for some pics, and enjoy the waiting game.

Chuck

Congrats on the wise color choice Mike...But you MUST begin using the correct terminology!! It's BRG - British Racing Green! You can check my gallery for photos, too. There are also a few BRG "clubs" threads here on NAM. Welcome to the MINIverse.

COOP310, I have been trying to figure out if you can add R84s to a new R56 S.
It looks like you have. Any problems?

I've heard that too. Can't remember where, but that'd be a big bummer as I want a BRG R56 in a couple years! It's such a great colour - so classically British, and to give it the ax would be a big disappointment...

Mike - What colour is your roof/ mirror combo? What wheels did you spec? Aero anything? I'll p-shop (or GIMP cuz I'm cheap) an image for you when you provide the details

Check out this thread for ideas: "Customizing BRG Mini"

acwy - I re-attached your pic for size. Love the wheel choice! Ever think about getting your arches/lips colour matched? But whatever you do, DON'T DE-CHROME IT! It's over done, and a bit of chrome on a BRG looks hawt!

acwy - your BRG w/ white stripes looks fantastic. I'm not a huge fan of BRG myself, but yours looks dope.

Hey PumaMini,

Thanks for the great help!! Yes, chrome completes BRG. I love the current look and so will not be painting the arches/lips anytime soon.

Hey Sketch,

I did those side stripes in a local decal shop for about USD80 using 3M stuff. I am very pleased with the end result.
