Fernando Valenzuela??

So have any of you thought about bronze wheels? I was playing around in photoshop the other day and I'm going to test this out with some plasti-dip in the coming weeks...




It won out in a little vote between stock and black =P

i just ordered my 2012 brgII MCS on 2/13/12. My MA texted me that it went into production the very next day on 2/14/12. I can't wait.

i plan on blacking out the chrome trim. I am going to make some bonnet stripes with the Death Eater skull and snake from harry potter in silver, and silver checkerboard on the roof. (i make all my own graphics)





here is the build from the mini usa garage. http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http...ldQ1qdvHeMNpTg

My 2009 BRG clubbie Dooper..

Hey Miffy, that's a sweet looking BRG clubbie. I have to ask you where you got the "hand wash only" sticker on your rear side window, as I have been looking for it for some time now. Thanks!

Order was passed for mine on 7/2. It is now scheduled for production...It is going to be a long wait!

Here's my '12 had to get BRG to match my Triumph.

Hi there is company in the uk called signmyride you can get one from them..Miffy

Nice! Can't wait for mine to come in (port--Feb. 23, home???)!

Awesome, thanks for the link, this may lead to many impulse buys!

Count me in--Sprout has arrived! BTW, does anyone know if there is a BRG II signature badge?

Mine should be in next week! Can't wait to pick it up

Ordered mine this week, should enter production in April. It's gonna be a long wait.

Should get my 2012 Mini Cooper BRGII 6-Speed come the end of next week. Got to Georgia last week so it should be fun to get behind the wheel finally. I absolutely love my '04 Civic, but it has taken some dings here and there and had some of the interior upholstery start to come off. Yet, it's reliability has been nearly adamantine. So it is that there is some leariness involved in getting a new car with new things to worry about, but alas it is that I am nonetheless quite excited to be in a new ride. Has anyone else ordered the Recaro seats? My Mini dealer didn't even know that they come with Airbags, and it seems that most people on the NAM site, that have referenced these seats, are ignorant of this fact too. As it seems they are always bemoaning the fact that these are the ones that made it across the pond, when the ones in Europe look like they belong in a rice burner as compared to the new US ones.

PS
I am also picking up the Mini aftermarket armrest, the one that comes from the factory is pretty dainty.

congrats on your new ride! those new seats do come with air bags as they are US spec, a lot of the complaining is because it is such a new product the dealers may not know about them yet and still think people are referring to the old european spec seats which a dealer CANNOT install

quick question for you BRG people ... is the BRG on the first gens the same as the second gen ?? if its not why is it called BRG II ?? I love my chili red baby but if I had to choose another color it would be the BRG

BRG is the same up until MY2011, 2011+ have a new color called BRGII... It's a little brighter and has a distinct yellow flake in direct sunlight..

Haven't been on the board in the while. Good to see the BRGII membership is growing. My car will be 1 year old next month. I have 5997 miles so far

Yes, our clan is growing!! And wow you must really baby your car...or drive the M3 all the time... I'm passing 10,100 today. =P

Salazar is scheduled to show for delivery this sat. woot can't wait.

he didn't show up last week. just got this pic from my ma. He is at the dealership. I will pick him up tommorow or friday.

OK, here's my mini. Some folks call it the mini bomber, others call it the monster mini. I call it Mortimer

I'm going to be getting some green wheels, but until then, here are pics-

Greetings all -

Long time lurker, first time poster...

I will hopefully take delivery of my 2012 BRG II Cooper sometime next week. I ordered it with the black top, mirrors, stripes and wheels.

I pretty much blacked out the interior with the piano black dash, black color line, black cloth sport seats (ordered the Sport package) and the anthracite headliner.

Having said all that, has anyone here (or somewhere else on this site) blacked out their interior like that? I have to admit I was a bit nervous after I ordered it and was wondering if anyone had pictures of a blacked out interior like that.

Anyway, thanks in advance and I will post pics when Basil arrives.

Cheers
Tim

I just did the anthracite headliner, which was an excellent decision. The rest of the interior is pretty dark anyway. I love it.
