Here is my MINI Weebiscuit and my dad's new MINI Daisy

 

What a pair, very nice. I like the tastes of this family.

About the nicest setting for two MCs I have seen with the vipers.

Hey 07chilired
Great looking stripes. I have an 07' like yours a comin'. Got the black sport stripes which are good to see on a real car.
Question: where did you get the red reverse stripes? Are these the MINI OEM stripes or did you go aftermarket?

 

I got the red ones from the MINI dealer...MINI makes red, black and white sport stripes. The dealer put the black ones on, but they had a local graphic place come out and install the red ones on the roof. The yellow ones on my dad's roof were custom made. Hope that answers your question!

 

07chilired - yep sure does. I did see they offer the red ones after going to the site again. Mine is not coming with them so your input about their application is appreciated. I dont trust myself with an application where I have to do the whole roof.
PS - I'll look for you on the roads. I am not too far away. Happy Motoring!

 

Mine are just standard factory issue - but I like them.

 

Yeah, I did not think I wanted to try to install the stripes myself either! There are just some things that I don't want to mess with! Let me know when you get your MINI, I will look for you too!

 

Standard stripes:

 

I can't believe I forgot about this thread. I remember seeing it before I my MINI arrived.

Here is Sam:

 

sorry its an MCS, but its an SS/B so if people are debating about that color combo here you go.

 

Oops. I seem to have forgotten about this. Here it is.

 

This question has been burning inside me... why didn't you continue the stripe to the edge of the bonnet?!

 

I didn't like what that did to the scoop, aesthetically. I liked it better this way.

 

That works It just looks a little odd IMO, but its not my car.

That look awesome! Gotta me get some...

 

Is it just me or do the black sport strips on the edge of the bonnet w/o the chin strip look like a early to mid 20th century dictator?

I am not hating. I still like them just where my brain went.

Here are my stripes just factory. But I am going to add boot strips to match.

 

Funny, the post asked for NON - S's, all I see is S's!!

So, here's another!! MINIBIRD pimped up with some bolts!!

 

Does anyone have the white sport stripes and the chrome hood scoop? (And if so, could you post a picture?) I want the sport stripes, and I want the chrome, but I just realized that that might seriously clash.

 

I like the stripes on the Challenge. They are a little wider than the stock stipes and seem to broaden rather than heighten the car. They also match the scoop better and look nice to the floor, front and rear. What do you think?

 

Challenge rear

 

Why are those called "Viper" stripes when Ford used them on their racing Cobras and Ford GTs in the late '60s? That was long before there were Vipers.

 

The MINI Challenge is pretty sweet looking.

As for the origin of the stripes, actually it was Cunningham that started it back in the 50s with the famed white cars with blue stripes. It was then carried on by the likes of Shelby, then Ford and later Dodge and probably a bunch of other people along the way. I imagine they're called Viper stripes now solely because they were the most recent ones to re-start the trend and it is a car that's fresh in young people's minds. Also, probably just because it's easy to say.

 

If yours is like mine, (alot of chrome), then get chrome stripes!! My bolts are chrome (graphite chrome) color'd, they look great. The pics don't show them good, I have to get some better shots.
