I like that green, looks as though it has the same exhaust as mine, a Fujitsubo but i might be wrong :) Looks as though it has a Nardi steering wheel too! Mine came in with one but changed it as never really liked them.

That looks close to scandal green.

wheels are too big and would look much better if they were black.

The colour of Stuart's car is based on the jag in the james bond film (die another day?) which was on display at the classic car show when we were there years ago.

Its nothing like BRG, its much lighter than that.

Personally I think they're at least 2" too small and should be chromed, not black. In the words (or something like them) of West Coast Customs Alex, "If you wanna be pimped, you gotta have fat chrome."

there is no one specific shade of green for BRG
way back when racing cars were colour coded to there country of origin (this all ended when Lotus took on tobacco sponsorship) each manufacturer had there own prefered shade so Bentley BRG was different to say ERA BRG which again was different to Lotus BRG
the same way that Ferrari Italian red was different to Alfa Romeo Italian red
