I just took delivery of my BRG/BLK Clubman on 4/28 and I am so happy that I went with it!!

Pepe is BRG and he looks awesome when all clean and shiny

Therea rent that many of em out there but then again alot of Minis tend to be Red or Dark Silver round here which is why he stands out I supoose

With regards to the cabriolet the fact that it was a matching softtop is great

[R50 + R56]

BRG is a great olour. My family & I love it !! I owned a R50 Mini Cooper in BRG/Wh roof. After 6 year of ownership, I sold it recently at very good second hand price. If equipped with R81 7-hole white wheels, you could get many differenet scaled models and key-rings in the exact colour & shape. I do myself.

I notice that the percentage of people who likes BRG may be on the low side. But for those who do, there is just no replacement ! It's the most loved and most often seen classic colour of Rover Mini still running on our soil. Nostalgia may help explain why my R50 was sold very quickly after advertisement.

Personally, I had a little struggle in which (new) colour for my R56 that I've ordered.

BRG is a good colour. I have heard that BRG will be discontinued soon, when a Lime Green colour is to be introduced later this year.

You obviously got fooled as the story that contains that info is an April Fool's joke . BRG is continuing, no need to worry .

I really need to take some pictures of my Dad's BRG Dooper he got last September. It looks the dogs nads with a white roof, white bonnet stripes and everything else .

racing green dose look nice, especially with black roof.
I wonder does anyone seen a white mini?

[ontheroadagain]

moonie, do you mean an all white - as in Pepper White MINI? If so, yes - I have seen probably two or so in the last four years over here in the USA, in the mid Atlantic states. Some people have referred to them as "marshmallows" but really they look pretty good to me.

Too bad MINI doesn't make easily exchangeable, snap on/off roofs.

As a lot of people have said before at the end of the day it up to YOU what colour you get!! Personally I love the BRG MINI's, Attached are a few pics of mine after cleaning and waxing this weekend!!

Well done Davey; the right colour, looking good.

(Wanna earn a beer doing mine? LOL)

[Snowie]

last Friday I saw 3 BRG MINIs in the space of 2 hours.

2 coopers with white roofs and 1 S with UJ roof and white bonnet stripes

It seems that BRG is very popular in Italy - all 3 cars were spotted between Modena & Marenello.

I would do yours if you lived closer!! Well happy with how mine has come out but I didn't do the engine, had a pro come in to do that!!

[LadyKatie]

I have a MINI in BRG and it looks absolutely great! I think ti is personal choice! I think it loks a lot nicer than say red or pepper white! BUT (before anything kicks off) of course everyones opinions are different and maybe because I have never owned a red or pepper white coloured car that is why I feel that way!

But I say go for BRG it is soon to be discontinued so snap it up while you can!! )

[oxybluecoop]

Go with the BRG.!

We have Chili Red, but I think BRG is a great colour on Minis and a classic one at that. I was therefore outraged to see this in the Mini2 News:

Quote:

BMW head of colour and vibrancy Dr. Töricht said:

MINI should be a vibrant brand, and we recognise, based on customer feedback, that maybe we had become a little dull and unadventurous with our colour palette. These three new “Citrus” colours will add something different, something fruity and fun to the MINI that perhaps has been lacking until now, we are sure they will be a great hit.

We appreciate that replacing traditional British Racing Green with our exciting new Lime Green may leave a bitter taste in the mouths of some of our British customers, but we’d rather have sour than dour, and we’re sure that they’ll appreciate that being a German brand having British Racing Green among the colour options was a little uncomfortable.

Are Germans really that anti-British? And in any case, MINI is a BRITISH brand - an attribute that its German paymasters are happy enough to promote through making many a union flag accessory available. I think Dr Paint needs taking down a peg or two!

Didn't you notice the date on the original?

You've been had!

[Mr Panai]

OMG, I'm an idiot. I can't believe I thought 'Head of Colour and Vibrancy was a real job title!!

BRG? Where exactly??

[BigShow]

A study of some 1,900 Americans found that people with emerald green, dark blue and silver cars had above-average self confidence, drivers of white cars had average self confidence, while those who chose yellow, orange, blue or red cars had below-average self confidence.

Wow that looks amazing, wish my BRG looked that good!

I've owned a BRG car for 2 years and my luck is pretty good.
