    Make sure you find one that is either modded the way you want it with records showing the mods were done correctly or find one that has not been modded at all. There are lots of options out there so do not settle for something that is almost what you want.

    I think I have talked myself out of the blue. I've really wanted BRG from the beginning. So I went searching and found the perfect one. Only problem is it is in Alexandria, VA! Not sure there enough hours in the day to make that one work out. 2006 with 39k miles.

    BRG is a great color I have decided if I ever own another Mini it will either be BRG or Velvet Red. Either way the mirrors, roof, and wheels would be pepper white.

    The standard white on the roof and mirror caps is not the same as Pepper White... just an FYI, if you didn't know.

    Yes. That is the only approved second brand in the MoM group.

    I loved that color combo as well. Currently that car has grey wheels and black mirrors and other accents. The interior is still orangeafied though :)

    Last one was an earlier pic before the speedo was done. The whole project was started because I hate that Mini put a light silver ring on the tach and the rest of the trip was dark silver. That is also the reason the steering wheel has the carbon inserts that silver crap they put on the steering was constantly dirty because it was a light color with a textured surface. It was so stupid that one part on the interior be a different color.

    The other day I was thinking about what I would do if the guy who bought it called and sold it back to me. I think I would get it wrapped true BRG for the body and do gold wheels and redo the interior with BRG wrap on the grey parts and have the accessories painted gold. And by gold I really mean a bronze color.
