No stripes vs sport stripes(white,silver or "phantom"(matte black).
My JCW during its first post dealership fill up.

 

The car is beautiful!!! I would say no to the stripes... Love the chrome..looks sharp!

 

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?

 

Hey Weston, that's a nice JCW

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

 

a mini is just not a mini without stripes

 

Ghost Viper Stripes.

<----- me, waiting for the pics with the new stripes.

 

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!).

 

Stripes. (white)

^^ Biased

 

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.

 

I say no to stripes, but yes to blacking out every piece of chrome on your car.

 

yes to flat black !!!!!!

 

Gold stripes..yummy...it's something different and looks SUPER sexy.

 

I might be strange (just ask anybody) but I like it without stripes. Plus, keeping my stripes from looking super worn has been a REAL chore.

 

I really liked the matte black striped look. But that's me.

 

What are you doing to wear out your stripes ? Or don't I want to know ?

Besides, vinyl stripes are cheap. They look bad, you replace them.

 

You tell me!

 

Looks MUCH better with the stripes. Even though I had to turn my head sideways to look at them.

 

Thanks!

Took a while for me to get used to them tho...

 

You've got to stripe it. Get crazy with it. So people can tell it's you!!!

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 ?

 

Everyone knows that stripes make the car go faster!!!!!


CRBINGA - The Van Halen Mini!!! awesome!!!!

 

Stripes

 

Dose that mean when u see mine u think its an S?

 

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.
