Pics of MINI with the green top?

I have seen a lot of black-top 'verts and quite a few blue-tops... but I have not seen any green-tops.

Does anyone have a green-top 'vert? If so, pics please. I am especially curious to see a pepper-white 'vert with a green-top. I think this combo (with black trim painted pepper-white) would look nice

Check out my gallery '05 BRG/G MCC. I've got pics with the top up and down

You'll get to check it out if you're going to the Dragon

i think it was last year around christmas time i saw a MCSC in chilie red with a green top. i don't know if the dealer was selling some christmas special car or if santa ordered a new sleigh but man that thing was ugly. i'm not a huge fan of the green tops but it doens't look to bad with certian color combos

There's a solid gold MINI with a green top that parks near my office. I have to assume it belongs to a Green Bay Packers fan!

Solid gold... hmmm. Isn't that color discontinued? pics please

As for chili red... I need a visual. It sounds wrong... but I can't quite make a mental visual.

Bueller bueller??? No one else has a green-top? hmm...

I wish MINI could come out with a beige canvas-top... I think that would be a nice option that would work with a lot of body colors.

I'm PROUD to be a Kermit: BRG/gr!



I looked long and hard at PS/Gr too. Now what I would really love is a nice charcoal-colored top.

Cheers, all!
Teri

Yes, it would be nice if they came out with a beige top. It would look especially good with BRG I have the cordoba beige interior which contrasts nicely with BRG.

My real preference would have been for a beige top as well.

In the absence of that choice, I waffled between choosing the blue and green top for my CR with white wheels and mirrors. Hmmm....Union Jack or Italian flag? Union Jack or Italian flag?

I ended up going for the Italian flag color scheme.

It never even occurred to me to think of it as "Christmasy", but I've heard that comment from several others who heard what I was ordering. I'm hoping I'll like the look in person...I spent months looking at it as I built different specs online, so I'm pretty confident I'll be satisfied. Worst case scenario, if it looks worse to me in person than it did online, I'll bite the bullet and pay for a conversion to the blue.

I'll post pictures when it shows up.

I think it will look great. However I do love Christmas. You can always name your car Rudolph

Thanks! We're too far to make it to the Dragon, but we are trying our best to get to Vegas next month, workloads pending. I should not even be posting, I have so much work to do!

LOL,
Teri

Saw a parked gold MCC in San Fran awhile back and took some phone pics but I can't find them now, sorry I liked it though, rich colors together. Can't see why PW wouldn't look good with dark green accents

So do I do you have a hard time keeping the interior clean? I keep mine clean by not letting anyone ride with me

Posting on NAM in the middle of the day

The blessing and the curse of the home office! Not to mention having a gorgeous motoring road not a mile away...high is supposed to be 62 degrees tomorrow, I'm SURE I'll need to take a top-down trip to FedEx or somewhere...

This thread has made me realize I have a real lack of stunner pix of my BRG/G baby.

No picture, but I was up at the dealership for service a couple weekends ago and saw a LY MCC with a green top. Yuck!
