Odd Countryman spotted...

There's a Countryman S on display in the Raleigh-Durham airport near the Delta counter. What's odd about it is that is seems to have dealer installed bonnet stripes but only one side (the left) actually has the stripe installed. The other side is missing. I know I just got here as a MINI owner, but do people really only put one non-centered stripe on these vehicles or was the dealership being lazy?

It's called an offset stripe. I don't care for it but each their own.

The offset strip works really well on a Fiat 500, not so sure about the CM.

IMO the offset stripe looks good if its front to back. Usually down the drives side.

Yea it looks nice on a very small car, even looks good on a Cooper, but I cn't see it working on the CM.
