Camden Bonnet Stripes

I was watching this video below from Japan on the Camden Cooper and it shows a unique bonnet stripe (has the same graded appearance as the other detail over the front side panels) that I've not seen on any other pictures of a Camden Cooper.

Does anyone know if this is available to be applied on Camdens in the US?

NOTE ADDED: You can clearly first see the detail about 37 seconds into the video.

My co-workers Camden has those.
I thought all Camdens had them.

Really? If you google the Camden Mini Cooper...all of the media pictures look like the one below...they show the detail over the wheel well from the headlights back...but not the stripes on the middle of the hood going down through the scoop.

I see what your talking about now.
I thought you were talking about the stripes on the arches.
The stripes in the middle just look like silver sport stripes to me.

I just looked at the video again more closely...you could be right.

I thought that it looked to me like the stripes faded out towards the scoop...kind of like the detail on the arches and the mirror caps...but I think you may be right and it is just the reflection playing tricks perhaps?

You could find a good vinyl person to create you that look if you wanted it.
Most places should be able to print the vinyl and then have it laminated for durability.

They look pretty nice, I tried looking into it on the Mini Japan site but didn't understand crap.

They almost look like the ones on the sides but just more gray

Those are indeed the silver sport stripes along with the chromed bonnet scoop. The silver sport stripes are available on the Clubman and you may be able to order via MINI.

I was debating on silver sport stripes for my White Silver Metallic Camden until I saw this video. Could be the lighting, but I'm not sure there's enough contrast.

Did anyone ever take the plunge and add these to their Camden?

I've also seen pics of the white sport stripes on the White Silver Metallic Camden - that looked pretty good.

Pretty sure that video is Korean... Not that Korean is any easier to understand (for those of us who don't speak it).
