Clear bra and bonnet stripes?

Hi all. I am having both a clear bra and sport stripes installed on my new MINI (if it ever gets here!!!) and am hoping that it is possible to have the stripes installed on top of the clear bra in case I want to change them in the near or distant future. Does anyone know if this is possible and reasonable? Does it look okay?

I would imagine that it would look kind of wierd. I could be wrong, but the stripes would have a noticable "step" where they meet the bra.

The photo I submitted exaggerates what that looks like. Still, the most common comment I get is that people wish they had put on the clear bra (and that they LOVE my graphics ).

Wow, your clearbra goes up so much higher than mine. Mine stops just past the head lights.

I did the same thing : Clearbra and bonnet stripes over it.

And I changed my bonnet stripes twice since. No problem.

btw, enjoy your new MINI!!
