Convertible British Racing Green with Black Top Pics Needed

Here's another pic. I bought my car off the lot with a black top. I suppose if I were ordering I would have picked the beige to match the interior. But the black top goes well with the BRG when it's dark. BRG is really 2 different colors - the brilliant sparkly green in direct sunlight when the metallic is 'turned on' and the muted tone when it's not in direct sunlight and the metallic is 'turned off'. It's a drastic difference - really 2 completely different colors. I'm noticing how much I like the look of the black top with the BRG in the latter scenario (in the pic), which for me is more often than not.

I had a Jaguar XK convertible some years back in BRG and at that time they offered a dark green top and that's the way I ordered it. It looked spectacular and I wish they still had that as a choice. I'm stronglyconsidering ordering an F Type and if I do I will buy the BRG with the black top.

asolare, welcome to the forum. It's funny that you posted a reply to this thread as I picked my new '17 BRG F-Type up yesterday. A dark green top would have been perfect. I decided to get mine with the tan top. I like it, but probably would have liked black just as well. Hopefully I'll be able to keep it clean. Here's a picture before they cleaned it.
There's no doubt that the BRG pops in the sun and looks spectacular.

I missed that post! Not sure it's still there, but that's my car! You took my breath away, because you reminded me of the moment I picked it up 16th Aug of last year... seems so long ago. Almost at 10K miles, so better get it in for the clutch work before warranty. LOL

I figured that I'd follow up on my post after having my BRG F-Type for about five months. I was unsure about the tan top (with black interior) when I got it, but now that I've had it for a while I'm glad that I got the tan instead of the black. I do think a camel top with camel interior would look better, but I think what I have is the best for me given that Jaguar doesn't offer the camel/camel top/interior combination. I'm also real happy that I added the upgraded brakes. I think they fill out the inside of the wheels very nicely. Speaking of the (default) wheels, I think they look good, but not great. One thing that I really like about them is they take about half as long to clean as those that were on my BMW 435i. Finally, it's nice having a car that people compliment me about constantly. It's also nice having a car that I very rarely see anyone else driving.

+1. Having seen the Black and Tan tops on the BRG, I would have definitely opted for the tan if my difficult decision hadn't landed on the coupe.

I'm happily surprised at the lack of comments, but it is true that this car is not on the road nearly 1 out 20 Porsche or M4, etc.
