Well something to think about, the factory bonnet stripes are put onto white vinyl, which means that if you get any chips in the bonnet strips, it will show through white... I suggest some aftermarket strips that are printed on black vinyl... which is a little better quality than the factory ones. I hope this helps.
I'm also considering some bonnet stripes... I have a DS/B MCS... Take a look at
cooperflags for some stripes for your MINI...
