Thoughts on contrasting roof color?

I have a white silver base mini and I really wanted to paint the whole car orange. But because of the amount of time and work involved that's probably not going to happen.

I like the way the jcw's look with the red roof and red mirror caps (but I prefer orange to red). Was thinking of painting the roof orange and I currently already have orange painted mirror caps. It needs stripes, might do black stripes with orange accent stripes. I also just bought some black rims, need to get tires, will probably paint the calipers orange. Thoughts?


Here is my car now, really needs some stripes

I like the idea a lot. It's unique and would really stand out. I'd say go for it! I'd skip doing the center caps like the bottom photo, but maybe paint the calipers orange like the middle photo.
