SS Cooper - stripes or no stripes?? (any pics?)
I have just ordered my very first mini! it is '09 cooper SS/Black roof - but can't make up my mind on whether to get the original bonnet stripes or not. I've done a search for pics but it seems most SS/B don't have stripes. Should I get them or not? Anyone has any pics on SS/B with stripes?

i got a sports package on my mini and the bonnet stripes were included. because its just vinyl, i would say put them on and then take them off if you dont like it. HOWEVER, wat the dealer doesnt tell you is that they will charge you an installation fee.
lastly, if you get the black bonnet stripes, there is a white outline around the black stripe...
all in all, i decided not to get them for mine...

Everyone seems to have stripes... I am opting out of them on the sports package because I want my MINI to be a little different than all the others I see on the road. I think the chrome exterior trim option, combined with a chrome scoop on the hood will give it a much nicer (and more distinctive) looks.

Regular bonnet stripes are so R53 . I like the sport stripes better myself. I'd like to see some pics of them installed on a new SS MC.

I got my Pure Silver MCS without stripes because I wanted after-market stripes of a different design. Before I put the stripes on I got no respect on the road. It seemed that SUVs would race to cut me off so they wouldn't get caught behind some slow econobox. Doesn't happen so much any more. People are quicker to move to the right to let me by.

Here's mine. I love the stripes, but I'm impartial.

i originally wanted bonnets, but after designing my mini and then seeing cars on the road (trust me, thats all your going to notice....minis on the road), i realized bonnets are very very common. i wanted a more unique look, so i ordered without.
i can always add later, if i have to....for cheaper.
