I want to see BRG

Well I have a good offer for my Cobra and if all goes as planned I will be replacing it with another MCS. My favorite color is green so logic dictates I should get the British Racing Green. As there are a wide variety of optional choices I would like to see what others have chosen. Here is a great opportunity for all those BRG owners to post up.

I only wish we could get a REAL BRG, and not the emerald green metallic.

As BlindLemonLars posted, you really have to see the BRG in person. No digital photo I have seen really does justice to the color. Some look nice, but that is probably because I have a BRG/W MCSa and I know what the color looks like.

None of the colors in the Mini Configurator look like they do in person. I'll be ordering through a broker and probably not the dealer but I will heed your advice and visit the dealer for close inspection.

Thanks, I designed them myself! I have a roof graphic (same style) of a Jolly Roger (skull & cross bones) too but I don't know where the picture is.

Is there some other color that looks better painted pink? In fact half of the pink MINI's I've seen were originally BRG!

Here's mine, but I haven't gotten down to the body shop for my pink paint quite yet. . .

With MINI's still selling at MSRP and almost never a discount, you might not get much out of using a broker like you would with almost any other car.

Says he can come in just under MSRP. I'm still a little ways off from purchasing another one but trying to keep my options open. Also, haven't been in to see the local dealer yet.

I want to see SILVER ROOFS on BRG

Why, neon green of course. That way if you scratch it, it looks intentional.

Here's a couple o pics of my baby: the first pic with the roof graphic is the most recent. The pic without the roof graphic was taken one month after I first picked up the car from the dealer.
