I'm ordering my first Mini this coming Saturday and I'm up in the air on the color. I know I want either BRG or Lightning Blue. Either one will be with a white roof/mirrors.
The car is going to be a non-S Cooper with the standard 5 star wheels. Plans are to eventually pick up a set of Rota Rb's for summer, and a set of first-generation "Holies" for winter wheels.
Tough desision.....BRG has that traditional vibe to it, but LiB looks great, too. For me it came down to the fact that I am a "blue" person, not green...my first MINI was Indi Blue/White and I loved it!!!
Both would look awesome (and traditional) w/ a white roof...you'll have to dig deep to make a decision on this one.
I went with the BRG with white roof, mirrors and wheels, no stripes (sporty yet conservative). I did this for a few reasons, green is my favorite color, the BRG is classic British and I think the contrast between the white and green looks fantastic. And as one other poster noted, it is not as prevalent as other colors.
Mine is being built as we type.
I found it near impossible to settle on one color I loved. There are so many great combo's for the Mini. One color I love for the non-s is the Burgundy. I don't see many in that color and it looks really sharp.
I love the LB...especially when it has all the little extras...sideviews, driving lights, Bonnet stripes... I love the BRG too... its classic and will always be classic..simple perfection...it depends...think long term too... Good Luck!! Either way, you can't go wrong!
