Awesome, thank you!

Amazing spec!

What’s the difference between this green vs “British Racing Green uni”?

Both are non-metallic paints.
Verde British Racing individual paint is a Ferrari color.
So it is Ferraris interpretation of British Racing Green.
It is a tad bit darker than British Racing Green (from BMW lndividual palette).

Many vendors do have their interpretations of the classic British Racing Green ... with slightly different shades ... Porsche PTS e.g. has also a nice BRG, which is similar to BMW BRG.

Thanks everyone. The color is much nicer in person than in pictures. Love how dark it is at certain angles and in direct sunlight then you’ll see the British Green comes out.

For everyone that is curious between this color and the standard BRG. This color is much darker and imo have a little more depth as well. It’s like having 3 colors in 1, British racing green, dark forest green, and black.

Went with this color because I can’t afford a Ferrari 😭

OK - I needed to get this thread on top again

There was another user, who reported having a G8x in Verde British Racing.
I found his post again:

What is weird: To me in his pics his Verde British Racing G80 looks much lighter than @///minh pics in this thread? Or am I just color blind?

I think in direct sunlight the color looks almost identical to BRG so that’s why it might look lighter in the other users post. I’m still waiting on my Verde British Racing to get shipped from the port so I’m anxiously waiting to see what the difference is between it and regular BRG.

Hope you are posting lots of pictures in different lighting conditions.

In direct sunlight, it’s very similar to the normal brg with a tiny bit darker shade.

Unfortunately, living in the PNW we don’t get clear skies with bright sunlight until mid June. So with an overcast weather, vbrg is very dark.

///minh · 06-07-2023, 01:57 AM

2 months later after just sitting inside of the garage. She’s now dropped off for a full PPF.

As you can see, on an overcast day and the color is a shade darker than the regular BRG.

Really happy with the KO interior to give the car that extra pop and contrast.

Really hard to tell the difference from pics with BRG. It darkers a lot when no sunlight. I wish I see your car at Mpact thi summer and can see the difference irl

I would love to see more pics of this colour if possible! Allocation ETA is September and I’m having a heck of a time choosing a color.

Loving many of them - Dravit, Skyscraper, Brooklyn etc but finding they are heavy flake with hues I’m not a massive fan of in certain lighting conditions unfortunately!

I’ve had no luck finding other G80 pics in the VBRG. Loving it so far and would appreciate more pics if possible! ///minh

I’m getting it back tomorrow from my PPF shop and will have better pics in different lighting for you.

manuelf · 07-12-2023, 01:36 AM

And having a side by side view of VBR and BRG would be the super bonus

How’s she look!

///minh · 07-14-2023, 02:03 PM

Full body PPF looking like glass.

It’s really hard to capture the color with an iPhone but I’ll try my best. These past few days just been throwing little mods onto it. Will have more pictures to come. For VBRG though, I can say there is a little bit of blue tint to it vs normal brg.

///minh · 07-26-2023, 10:55 AM

What do you guys think of these tailights?

Really not a fan. Doesn't fit at all the car. Looks like aftermarket lights they used to put on old jdm's car.

Sorry for my honest opinion here ^^ don't wanna hurt the car nor the owner.

Nope, not hurting anything over here. That’s the beauty of it.. is to switch it back and forth with oem ones, and that we all have different taste/opinions. You are for sure the minority here as my poll on my IG got 87% on approving it. For now, I have oem back on as it’s more classier imo.

Vitalenergymotorsport in Burien, highly recommended! Ask for Linx and he’ll take care of you.
