I need opinions please!

I currently own a R56 MCS in dark silver / black roof. It is fitted with standard 17" crown spokes and the chrome mirror caps.

I WANT TO ENHANCE ITS APPEARANCE!

I'm not interested in the JCW aero kit, although I like the side skirts they are overpriced IMO. I'm not going to change the wheels either but I would like to add viper stripes and change the bonnet scoop.

My viper stripe choices are:

1. White viper stripes over the dark silver body and black roof.
2. Silver viper stripes over the dark silver body and black roof.
3. Black viper stripes over the dark silver body, and white over the black roof.

Then I don't know whether to add the chrome bonnet scoop, or the JCW carbon fibre one.

What would you do? And does anyone have any pictures that would be similar?

Any help greatly appreciated!

I would go for the chrome boonet scoop with the silver viper stripes thing it would look amazing

I'd go with black bonnet stripes (either normal or Viper) and deffo change your mirror caps to black. And see if you can change the bonnet grille to black... like the one fitted when you have spots fitted - that would look V nice i reckon

Great thanks for your replies. I need to get some photographs before I make a choice. Guess that's Sunday then trawling through the depths of MINI2's galleries.

Here's my R56. Unfortunatly it's black, but it's got the silver stripes and the chrome bonnet scoop so hopefully shorten your "trawling through the depths of the MINI2's galleries"

If I were you I would go for the JCW carbon fibre scoop with no stripes at all or vice versa and I'll give you my reason:

the carbon fibre scoop gives a very angry and sporty look to the MINI. I creates a feeling of very hi-tech material combined with elegance.
On the other hand, the stripes are very nice to look at and also give a sporty look but they create a feeling of cuteness to the car.

So the stripes and JCW should not be combined in my opinion
Choice is yours though....
Good luck
