BOth stripes or not

real quick suggestion needed...

iam buying my new MCS (parents are) in the coming months, forr my first car, and i like the sport stripes and bonnet stripes on the car. But i have never seen a MINI with both sets of stripes on.
does anyone have a suggestion on which stripes look better?

thanks Cameron

I skiped the stock stripes and went aftermarket route with Aesthetic Creations. Just chek out the venders on this site I am sure you will find something much better then what the dealer offers possibly even cheaper.

Sport stripes are the two that go down the middle of the car. The bonnet stripes are the ones that are farther out and go down each of the sides of the bonnet. I'm getting the sport stripes because they also go down the boot lid. They look much better IMHO. Good luck.

I see.
IMO, if you have four stripes on the hood, it will look very odd.

Of the two, I kind of like the Sport Stripes, but it depends on the color of the car and stripes. Some colors schemes really benefit from the pinstripe on the edge of the standard stripes.

However, I think you can get something much more interesting from Aesthetic Creations, or Cooper Flags.
