Please Help!!

Ive ordered a mellow yellow cooper S with a black roof & mirrors, side skirts & flame spoke alloys.

The big question is should i have black bonnet stripes or not ?

Please give me your veiws i really cant decide

Will it look like a bumble bee with the stripes ????

My car is due into the dealers next week

so i have to make my mind up!!!

Thanks Katy

you could take it as is and then decide to add them on later, theres no rush

I think it might look better with personally

I think they would suit it well

Since you would be getting dealer fit ones now, I say wait. You might be able to get some nice different after-market ones.

Have a search for ScottieCoop's Cooper - her stripes are fantastic

Thanks everyone, nice pics, Ive decided to go with the bonnet stripes!!

As it was pointed out to me my last two minis had no stripes on collection and within weeks they both returned to the dealer to have them fitted, they just looked too plain without.

My only concern was the fact that this mini is yellow ( my other 2 were black )

Thanks again Katy

The bigger bonnet of the R56 seems to need stripes more than the previous model.
