Do you prefer silver or black?

 

I think every chili red car I have seen (on here, close to zero Roadsters in real life and no red ones) did the black stripes if they did any at all. Most red cars seem to do black wheels too. The silver stripes with silver wheels would make your car different from the crowd on here. It's your decision, that's what's so great about ordering MINIs!

 

Agree with black. Black top, black seats, new black (carbon fiber) mirror caps, black driving light covers, black grill, black wheels. Left me with only one option for stripes.

Silver stripes might look nice, but then I'd change other accessories as well, to the extent possible.

My 2 cents,

Black....while I prefer white tops/stripes on my MINI Hardtops....since you have a black top, it needs black stripes.

 

I prefer black or white stripes on Chili Red but they should match your roof, IMO. Which means black on a Roadster, of course.

 

Did all black -- stripes, interior, mirrors.

And considering doing the A-Panels in black carbon fiber, or a black checkerboard stripe along the sides.

 

Black in the only way to go.

 

The posts above give you the obvious answer - get silver; the black/red theme is entirely too common.

 

For a reason.

Besides, how many MINIs do you run across every day anyway, let alone a Chili Red one with black stripes. Being a MINI, it's already unusual.

 

In North Joisey? About 20 -30 a day.

 

And I bet all of them are Chili Red with black stripes. And I meant people in general, not just you. And I bet the OP doesn't live in North Jersey.

Silver stripes on a Roadster with a black roof ??

 

Life's like a box of chocolates, you know.

 

It can be.

 

If you could choose the color of the soft-top then different stripes would be great, but with the black top, introducing another color ???????

Just an opinion, your money, your car, your choice.

 

I actually think the silver stripes look good from what I can tell from the configurator, especially if you are not choosing black wheels, black headlight casings, or black side mirror caps.

 

This is basically my car but red: chrome mirrors, silver wheels, sliver stripes.

 

A. Configurator images are not the best way to decide.

B. Roof is down in that thumbnail image.

C. Black still would look better.

 

At least you're consistent.

 

I kinda like the Silver and Chili Red combo

 

Yep! Looks great on a COUPE. Think we're talking about a roadster? Right?

I do like the looks of your Coupe.

 

Your wish is my command...

 

Yep, black would look SOOOOOOOO much better !!

 

I like it. The black roof/wheel arches/grill go together, and the silver stripes/ wheels/mirrors/grill surround/headlight surrounds go together.

Personal choice, like all things MINI!

 

I'm sill waiting for delivery of mt roadster. I was considering blue stripes with white pinstripes on my chili red.

 

I think a lot would depend on the exact shade of blue. Could be really striking and unique for sure.
