Bonnet Stripes

Does anyone know if it will be possible to put the R56 Cooper S bonnet stripes on the Cooper? If you look at pictures i have added you will notice that the S stripes are much wider appart and closer to the headlamps, and seem to have better shape probs due to the curve of the bonnet at that wider angle.

The picture i photoshopped of an S with Aero Kit to a Cooper with Aerokit, still has the wider S stripes and looks sooooooo much better so just interested if these might be interchangable???

Sorry thats very long winded, i hope you get the gist

Seeing as the bonnets for the two models are so different, I would say that, almost categorically, the stripes will not fit, as they are cut to fit the bonnet perfectly.

Why not get some custom-made to how you want them, rather than using 'genuine' MINI stripes? (They would probably be cheaper too! )

I've always preferred the look of stripes being farther apart on the bonnet, but given placement of driving light on R50/53 the closer position was all one could realistically get away with. Now that R56 driving lights are moving farther out towards the headlights, I think that the stripe position will be much better and I'd love to see/recommend a move away from the close placement.
