Thanks for the nice compliment. I had the stripes on mine but took them off after I installed the JCW kit. There are a couple of photos in my gallery which will give you an idea of the look of the stripes with this color. I just like the cleaner look without them. The factory stipes also have a white pinstripe on either side which doesn't really fit with the car's predominant black trim. I am also getting rid of some of the chrome. Hope you enjoy your car!

Generally I'm not the biggest fan of SS/W (my first MINI was SS/B so I'm biased

Winston here
Ok I just got my ss mcs with 1000 miles on it and love it. I got the 
logo from z3bum,thanks. Already getting questions about Winston. Not only is this a great car and lots of fun to drive, and I never have to wash it. My local dealer, on my way to work, will wash the car for the life of the car. I keep my cars.

Woohoo, I didn't find this thread until it popped back up at the top! Glad to see there are some appreciative SS owners out there. I picked up my SS/SS (not seeing many with that color combo yet??) a couple weeks ago now and he's been a blast. He's just the regular Cooper but I got him as much for the fuel economy as the fun ride - but despite his gas sipping nature, he gets up and goes whenever asked!
Interestingly, I originally was dead set on either LB or BRG and didn't really care for the SS. But upon seeing Nicodemus on the showroom floor in all his glory, my mind was changed quickly.
Anyway, just wanted to add my $0.02 to the group. Great pictures everyone!

Coop with a view
Slightly different lighting - people were saying that SS didn't really fit this color and I completely agree. Mood Ring anyone?

Definitely yes, add stripes. My car, when it gets here, will have the sport stripes put on at the VDC (along with the JCW aero kit) and I know its going to look hot. BTW, love the wheels, they look a lot like what I have on the '05.

I like how the anthracite looks, and I think it would look better to have black and tan (sounds like a Harp's and a Guinness!) then gray and tan. But that's just my 2 cents.
