BRG Mini with Black Stripes?

Anyone have a picture? I am thinking about putting black stripes on, but the BRG is so dark I am not sure you would even really see them.

I've seen more than a few MINI owners with BRG that have done the black stripe look. Some do it with a pin stripe of white on the edges to help bring them out.

I am in the process of blacking out mine. I have 99% of the chrome gone. Wasnt sure how the white/silver pinstripe to outline the black stripes would look.

If you're de-chroming, I think the white pin stripe would still look fine. If you dig through that thread I posted above you'll find more than a few with the stripes. This one here has no pin stripe accent.

I had a purple haze mini which is pretty dark. The black wouldn't have really been seen without the silver but when they were on they sure looked good!

BRG need white stripes, its historical.!!

Seriously, unless the roof is also black, then black is fine.
