here's a pic for the OP... I took this pic from MOTD last year:




I've seen PW in all three tops (black, blue and green) and they all look good to me. I've actually spotted a PS with a green top which was unusual.

here's my BRG/G. took this pic over the weekend...



no... not a treehugger I simply like green...

I just bought a 2004 blue MINI with a black top. I love it! I had no idea about the whole subculture here and feel very much an amateur. I just like the way the car drives.

Yours is a beautiful combo. Very distinctive and is "a monument to your good taste" [as said in the movie Tin Men.]

My red MINI only works on certain cars, mostly true sports cars and well... the MINI.

If I had my choice of colors [did not because I had to buy used and within my budget] BRG would have been tops on the list, if not the choice.

For sure, British Racing Green is the color with the most history.

Are there haters in here of your combo? Something wrong with them [maybe they only like pimped out MINIs ]

I do think that a tan/camel top would look great especially on BRG

I would have liked a tan top with tan leather interior but they didn't make it when I ordered it (still don't have a top that colour). So Black on BRG here. Was orginally going to have white stripes but dealer messed up and did black - and I liked it.

Here's a pic of what the OP was asking for. PW/G.



My preference was to go PW/B. Saw one in the lot during a test drive and it was love at first sight.
