Still can't decide if I should go Viper Stripes
 
I have ordered a White mini with the JCW aero kit and I still can't decide if I should go viper or the standard sport stripes.

The Red mini with the JCW aero kit looks hot with the viper stripes as if it was meant to look that way but I don't know if it would look the same with the white mini. Haven't found a pic with a white mini with JCW aero kit and viper stripes.

Thats why i'm waiting until the car gets to the dealer before putting on stripes.

Any ideas, opinions...any pics anywhere?? Thanks

Viper!~!~
 
Viper is what I am considering over the factory suspender stripes.

There are a lot of different stripes available from Aesthetic Creations and Cooper Flags. Why settle for the factory stripes?

i went for the sport stripes as i didnt like how the viper stripes were further spaced apart... the sport stripes look more like the MINI challenge stripes which are HOT!! I got the factory stripes from morristown mini because the AC stripes cost more.

this seems the best deal and you can get any color and width, $40 for the whole car bumper to bumper with very high quality vinyl-

Here's a pic of my dad's MINI with the JCW aero kit and sport stripes, not white, but maybe this will help...

I like the way your stripes are spread apart. Looks good.

White with blue stripes would look ace. I like both the sport and vipers, but I don't like the viper style if they're covering the hood scoop.

JohnnyF Nov 2, 2007 05:41 PM

I have the factory stripes and am thinking of a switch to either the Viper or Sport setups. I prefer the Vipers, I think.

Viper/sport stripes really give the car more character. I always notice cars (of any type) with these kinds of stripes. Here's mine:

My local Mini dealer has a solid PW mini (no stripes) with the JCW aero kit on the showroom floor and it looks incredible!:thumbsup:

I was actually thinking of doing just that. :wink:

Was it a white top or black top??

It has a white top. I'm seriously considered a PW/B myself. What are your specs?:grin:

I wish I could see a photo of that...I can't find that look with the kit anywhere.

I have to reorder because I didn't get the rear fog lights that are mandatory in England.

Getting closer to getting Shelby Jr. finished off with the Viper like stripe idea. :nod: I call it the Shelby stripe look. :thumbsup: Two nice thick stripes installed to match the Hubby's GT500. :grin:

I have the sunroof and have been getting more folks not understanding :roll: why I want the stripes over the glass. My roof is white also. I'll be changing up the stripe on the roof to red. I've seen this combo on someones car, yet can't find it for the life of me at this time. :roll: Does anyone have some pics stored away that my help?

Thanks! I've saved two of your pics, hope you don't mind. I'm taking pics with me to give the stripe guy the path to exactly what I want.

I just think certain color minis look good with the stripes and others don't. The red ones certainly do.
My car is white...and I have mixed feelings with viper stripes.
