Black or White?

First off i would like to introduce myself as being the new owner of a 2006 mcs.. I cant wait to get started on the mods and the first thing i am going to do is either murder it out or stormtroop it. My question is do you guys have any pictures of your cars and which do you think i should do? Thanks for the suggestions and help..

Haha sorry about that guys, i should have been more specific. When i say murdered out i meant blacked out and stormtroopin is white body with black trim, rims, etc.. Here are two pictures so you see what im talking about.
And mine is grey btw.

If you are going to get all new paint I say stormtroop it with a flat white or gloss white (no pepper white) and black roof. Waaaaaay too many murdered MINI's out there. They look good but be original if you are spending the money.
