I wouldn't worry about discoloring of the paint from under the bonnet strips over along period of time... If you take care of your MINI and paint, you shouldn't have any problems. Just make sure you wax your MINI. The thing that I'd be concerned about is the fact that the factory bonnet stripes are printed on white vinyl. When chipped the white section will show through...
