Nah... She's a sofa hog. The problem is finding a sofa that will hold a few tons.

Oh, I think Moxie D will fit in JUST FINE. Welcome to BRG Club! (It's the BEST color, no matter what anybody else says.)

Official name of the silver color plastic interior?

Okay my BRG peeps...I already have a question and I figured best to ask here since your colour schemes will be similar.

So...Miss Moxie has black panther leather interior, magnesium grey door casings....but the official trim color isn't listed anywhere so far as I can tell.

Its 'silver', but the problem and reason I need to know...is it's rubbing off and the nasty yellow plastic underneath is showing.

I'd like to touch it up, but haven't the foggiest where to even look for that particular color. I thought about just painting those parts a glossy black, but...that's going to require a lot of taking things apart and I'm not sure I want to do that.

Any ideas? Anyone else experiencing the same problem?

Welcome Moxie to the BRG Club, check out my gallery, my 06 Mini has NAV too. It is great to meet another BRG rider! Sorry, I don't know the answer to your color question. I'd suggest going to an auto parts store and see if you can find a line of spray can paint that matches.

thanks bigsoup52! checked the gallery....niiiiice! That's a cool looking shift ****. Where'd you pick that up?

Yeah...I was thinking i'd have to find a line of MINI specific paint types otherwise it'll look mismatched.

Nice wheels! They look like the ones I have, in silver. The white ones look nice, just tough to keep clean, I spend a lot of time washing them.

Add me to your list. 06 BRG MCS white roof, white mirror caps and white wheels. I've had it for over a year now and smile every time I get behind the wheel.

Does anyone have a pic of a brg with black top and Shelby or viper stripes? I'd like to see something other than the traditional bonett stripes.

Just got my 2003 BRG/W a little less than a month ago! What do you guys think of black bonnet stripes with a white roof? Would it look silly if I start off with just doing the bonnet?
Beautiful MINIs everyone!

Nice car SooperSara! I think it would look fine but I really like the black stripes with a white pinstripe between the green and black. It really makes it look nicer IMO. With that said I really like the white stripes with the white roof. Mine has the black roof so I am still debating this one lol.
