Chili Red / Yellow Stripes?

My MCS is chili Red w/ white top and mirror caps. I want to do something different than the ordinary white stripes and am thinking of the yellow mirror caps and yellow racing/viper strippers or maybe just one offset. Can anyone post a picture of their car if you have this combo? Thanks.

I don't have pics, but I think it sounds cool! Anything that makes a MINI more unique, is a good thing.
When I bought my MINI I wasn't real crazy about Black and Orange stripes. Especially since the Orange is reflective. But, as time passed, I saw that no one else had anything like it, and it started to grow on me. Now, I will definately have it redone when the time comes!

Your other option is to do some photo-shopping to try different combos!

I would be careful only because with so much yellow it could come off "McDonalds"-like. Obviously you want it to look cool, so maybe a more highlighter yellow? Have you thought about maybe adding a pattern or design instead to the white you already have? Or maybe a normal yellow and white combination like the Challenge R56 JCW.

I saw a car today with an awesome viper stripe combo. He had one side white and one side teal blue.
What if you did one viper strip white and the other Yellow. And did your mirror caps yellow.
I think it'd look cool!

Mini//M would you mind telling what rear spoiler that is. I have been looking for a spoiler and yours looks about as good as I have seen at least from that angel. If you have any other pic please post.

rimtnbiker here is a little idea. I think maybe you have to do a combination with white so it ties back into the roof.





fenderless the rear spoiler was created by MINI for this Challenge car. Not my car, I wish. From what I understand its basically impossible to get.

Yeah, I agree with Mini///M, you need yellow on white stripes (original image shamelessly stolen from Mini///M):

Maybe true, unfortunately. However, the Challenge JCW above looks good in red with a touch of yellow. Maybe go with white bonnet stripes and keep the yellow mirror caps?

I think it looks "McDonaldsy" too. How about bronze or gold stripes with matching wheels?

Possibly with yellow pinstripes on the edge of the white bonnet stripe to add a little punch.

A little bit of yellow will go a long way (like on the challenge car) but I don't think Mini///M's mirror+viper stripe mock-up looks too ketchup-and-mustard-y.

I agree with the "McDonald" feel if the yellow is bright. A very deep yellow shown above is cool but what I personally think are bright silver viper stripes.
Maybe even mirror caps in red/silver with a white pinstripe separator.

Again, just my opinion.
