Viper stripes on a MINI

Thinking about putting viper stripes on my mini. If anyone has any pics of their mini with these type of stripes on it and can post it, that would be great. Thanks

I like them ,ours are in white. Check out the gallery photo.If you go with vinyl, beware they are much wider and vinyl has horrible texture so it is much more noticable, a lot of orange peal. White does not show as much peal but any dark color will. So paint them on if you want to have it look real good.

Damn you guys are tempting me on getting them but since mine is a 2002 with stock stripes I am not sure if it is worth the risk of pulling them off and the paint being a different shade.

The scoop was left silver on my car for 2 reasons...
1) visual... makes it jump out at you that the car has a scoop.
2) applying vinyl to that area would have made the project more difficult.

I don't like stripes on the roof. I've got the sunroof and didn't want to cover any of it.
My stripes are continued down the rear hatch (like jahmills')

Take a look in my gallery. I've got a Pepper White MCSC with "sport stripes."

I wanted my hood scoop done, but the guy who installed the stripes said it would be very difficult to do because of the curves. It is possible though, I did see pics of a car with it done.

I was also originally going to have the roof done in dark silver stripe to match the paint, but decided to just keep the roof plain, just for a little cleaner look. It's just a personal preference. I think with an all black car it would look good with full silver stripes.
