Silver Bonnet Stripes

Has anyone seen any MINIs with the silver bonnet stripes?

I am having my R57 JCW built and am considering having the silver bonnet stripes added rather than the white or black. My color is BRG II, and I am getting the exterior chrome package and the chrome scoop on the front with the silver infinite stream wheels. In the build picture on the MINI website it looks good, but I am worried about how it will look in real life.

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Silver Stripes

I went with the Viper stripes because I wanted to be a little different, hope this helps. I can send you more recent photos if you need them. Good luck on your final decision, silver is the only way to go with BRG, at least in my opinion.

I too like the silver stripes with BRG. But...I like the sport stripes. I think they look best with the scoop and the center exhaust.

Thanks for all your replies. And I think you are right about the silver looking great with the BRG. As for the type of stripes, I think I like the traditional bonnet stripes rather than the sport ones.

Also, this will be my second MINI cabrio. Here are the pics of my first one, before it got stolen. It was an MCS, but I decided to upgrade to the JCW this time. And to add a little more color to it. LOL

2 of these are just in our parking lot at home, the one with my wife in it was right before we went down the Amalfi Coast with the top down. Awesome view for going topless!
