With or without

Better with or without stripes? (Entirely subjective but would like opinions)

I was making a point of over the last couple of weeks to look at MINIs with and without stripes. What I found was that a MINI with stripes was much easier to ID as a MINI than those without. To me, a MINI without stripes just isn't a MINI.

those stripes, you are better without.

If you are starting all over, then put the OEM style ones back on.

I tend to agree with this.

Hate to go against the crowd vote here, but for some reason I like it without now that you have that black hood scoop. Maybe it's just because of the type of stripes that were on there before, but otherwise I like the look of how it sits now.
