Ya I think he's referring to the racing stripes. The beltline is defined by the visible bottom edges of the window glass.

I prefer the PWB without the bonnet or sports stripes - just my opinion...

I prefer the stripes but that is just me. Otherwise it is way to much PW. What is the bumper kit on the first picture? That one looks so much better than the factory/Dealer installed kits it makes it look like an M3

I prefer no stripes on stock PW mini's, but some of these all white'd out mod's look like they could use a stripe or two.

Black it all out. Beltline, door handles, grill trim and front and rear headlight rings.

Edit: Oh yeah and the side scuttles too etc

Definitely do the beltine. It helps bring the roof "down". The chrome is such a dividing line on the car.
