green stripes on pepper white?

I've got a PW/PW and was thinking about some green stripes. I think it'd be a bit different and i do indeed love the green.
Just looking to see if anyone has em and what you think! If so, post it up.

I think that would be a nice contrast...I have not seen it before, but think it would be SLICK...I would do a darker green...British Racing, Forest, Hunter, etc...maybe a certain shade of Olive

I think that would look great. I wish I saw a more creative array of color combinations among the MINIs. The green and PW would create a nice, clean look; like wintergreen, mmm... minty.

wintergreen is kind of what i was thinking but also BRG since most the companies offer that without going custom...
here's a VERY quick and DIRTY pshop:



what would you call that green? and do you think just hood or continue along the roof and boot?

I'd call that "uncooked broccoli green."

Seriously, though. A dark green like the BR Green or any other shade of dark green going from the hood, across the roof, and down the trunk would look SIICK! Maybe even extend it down the grille and front bumper?



Go for it man!

It's all about being different I like the idea of green stripes - maybe not the uncooked broccoli but possibly a bit darker?

Just be careful, man! It will start with the green stripes and side S badges, then you'll be doing green highlights on the inside, painting the antenna stub green, then you'll want green wheels, etc.

Honestly, though. It would be a good look. Broccoli green or not

hah. funny enough, ever since highschool, i've been called sprout after the jolly green giant's kid
only question is whether to continue on the roof, too. i have the panaramic sunroof thing... will the stripes still look good on that? and how hard is the install with having to cut around those or whatever?

I've met another MINI owner at the dragon who has a panoramic sunroof and got a special vynil that you can see through (kinda) from the inside, but from the outside looking in, you can't see through it at all. He had a grenade vynil. Looked really cool.

Green is a great idea and a classic racing color. When I first saw the PW 1 million MINI I thought that would be a great look.

Anyone have better pictures of that car? Just curious to what they did to it.
