depends on the look. If you want a classy elegant look leave as is. If you want a sporty aggressive look put the stripes. I left my car at the dealer today to have the viper stripes put on.
Is that Weston road in the back ground?
I'm getting a Midnight Black as well, and was thinking about either flat black, or "ghost" stripes on my car. Not sure if I'll get vinyl or have a local shop paint them on. I think the subtle sport stripes would look really sharp on it. Good luck on your decision

Thanks for all the responses.It's going to be a tough decision.
I've always wanted a MINI since i saw my uncle bringing home a brand new 1971 BRG/black top S back in the day.
My last 3 cars have been Audis (still a big fan)but the timing and this particular car were perfect.
I always visualized my MINI as having contrasting body/roof colors and stripes,but the all black/chrome combo won me over.
That is Weston road in the back,picture taken at the Exxon gas station(great car wash!).
ya know, i actually saw a mini at amviv this year that had chrome stripes. it looked good because they used other touches of chrome along the car as well.

Strip it. Not sure why I think this, but is I see a Cooper from afar without stripes I assume it's not an S.
I have and AstroBlack Clubman with only silver pillars. I am doing Silver Viper strips on the Bonnet and back doors

I don't think I'd do that to my MINI but I'm glad you did it to yours.
Are those all vinyl or are they painted ?
why so serious? and thank you...i think. the way i see it is you either blend in with everyone else or stand out. I cant keep the cameras off the car (including the cops) but i think that just because its a RED...come on we all know RED is faster.
but to answer your question...it vinyl for now until it wears out then i will paint.
