Show us your bonnet stripes!

One of the most beautifull parts of the mini, depending on the kind of srtiping the mini gains character! So show the rest of us the beauty of the thing! Cheers!

The dealer put on my bonnet stripes when I got my car but one of the edges was messed up. I went back a couple weeks later and they had another company redo the stripes. They look great but they're slightly less angled than the original stripes. I thought about complaining, but after a couple weeks I decided I liked 'em. What do you think?

Before:



And after:

Don't have a picture of just the bonnet but you can get a pretty good idea from this one I took on delivery day. Also done by the dealer. I picked my MINI up off the lot and since it didn't have them from the factory I got my dealer to throw them in as part of our purchasing deal. I know it's highly subjective but I find stripes and contrasting roofs to be one of the main things that make the MINI so special! Size and overall cuteness aside...

Better pics to come this weekend once the rain stops and I get a chance to detail it on Friday.

Oh and eejphotog, the stripes look nice! I personally prefer mine angled but both look hot hot.

Eh, horrible picture (from my camera phone as well), but hopefully I'll take some better ones this weekend with the new mods on our Mini run

Anyone done an offset racing stripe from Mighty stripes? I was thinking of doing the offset in black.

I know there are a couple other MINIs with these graphics, but I've yet to run into them out motoring. And I'm not sure if there's another with my color combo - there was a MY/B and a DS/B.

Not your color combination, but I saw one motoring on Hwy 17 outside of Santa Cruz, California. Looked good.
