Black on Black?

I am thinking of going with the black sport stripes on my (soon-to-be) absolute black CMS4. Does anyone have pics of that combination? I saw some pics with wide black on black, but it's not quite the same.

Thanks

That is nice. Personally I would go with red accents. Can the sport stripes be ordered that way, or is that custom work?

Also, in the first pic, can those stripes be ordered? I've only seen the sport and a different bonnet stripe - is that one special order?

these are brand nu stripes, don't think they're available just yet. I think it's not available with red accent. It will be available with orange accents, soon. I would try a vinyl sign guy. Mayb they can replicate the stripes with the red accents you like. Good luck

I think orange accents would be sharp as well. Maybe I should just get the CMS4 naked until the new stripes come out.

Where in NY are you eyevin? I'm upstate.

Orange is a great option. n yes naked without stripes should do. Remember you can always add em later. I'm in Queens, NY, close to NYC n Long Island very convenient. Upstate, where? Heading to Syracuse this weekend for my niece's graduation. Also my daughter's been accepted to Marist for the fall. Looking forward to sum nice road trips. B well

I'm live about a half hour north of Lake George (where I work) in a small town called Chestertown.

Aftermarket though? I was hoping that MINI was going to have them.

The ones that are flat black/green in the picture above look really good on BRG. Those stripes are available from MINI up here.

Thanks man.. It's a foil/vinyl wrap.. Original color was surf blue.. almost all the parts were wrapped.. from the red bumper vents, side mirror caps, racing stripes and all chrome parts were wrapped glossy black.
