BRG is different to the metallic Cooper Green, but both are great colours. But is has to be the right car to pull them off.

I think there is a good BRG on the 2014 Minis.
I have only seen it in pics though.
The previous metallic greens were shite in my opinioni
Jin Clarke's Lotus had the shade nailed.

There was only so much WW2 Spitfire paint left over.

We had a mark 2 MX5 in British Racing Green (ironic colour name for a Japanese car) - it looked brilliant and really suited the car.

The E type has the right shade of green for me - suits sports cars I think - I'm all for it.

When I went shopping for my used Z there was one Deep Green Matalic local, brought back some memories of a friend's Austin Healey from years ago, but wasn't sure about a green car for me. After looking around at all the silver ones on the market here and a few black one I desided to go for it. Now I really like the old school dark green sports car look! :thumbsup: :driving:

When the MkV Golf GTI came out I was gutted they didn't bring that out VW Racing a Green I had to go for a similar Hue in Blue.

in my dream garage the F Type Roadster is BRG with the carbon black pack.
