Black on a sparkling silver would be awesome. I've had the same doubts but with a British Racing Green MCS (2007 also!) with a black roof. I finally settled on a silver viper stripe covering the entire length of the car. I'll post pictures of it when its complete.

The BEST resource I found was "The Official [INSERT YOUR COLOR HERE] Owners Club Thread" which for me had plenty of example different options for stripes with my base color. I had a more difficult time finding a BRG w/ a Black roof AND stripes, seems few do that.

Let us know what you decide to do and if you get stripes post pictures!

Gotta go black and I like theging's idea of an accent color.

I ordered some Viper Stripes from Outmotoring (Silver) for my BRG 07 MCS. Was given a rough estimate of 200-250 for installation from a local place that does work for businesses and municipalities (such as emergency vehicles). This was for bumper to bumper installation. I'll probably end up having them do it because of the effort level required for a single person is a bit more than I'm willing to do and knowing my luck I'll put it on and then realize it wasn't straight.

I'd probably just look around for some company that isn't the dealer and ask them and I'm sure they would be happy to do so.

My Mini is pure silver, but you get the idea.
