Hey...i have just ordered my dream mini cooper and have gone for black with silver viper stripes! Thing is i have also gone for the sunroof so have been given the option of having the stripes continuing over the sunroof or stopping them just before and starting just after! It would make more sense to me to stop them as i think that it would look a little strange when looking out of the sunroof to see two black stripes across your view. I was just wondering however if anyone here has the same and which they went for? Also if anyone has any pictures they could send then that would be cool! Thanks. xxx

I would have the stripes straight over. I think it'll look odd stopping them for the sunroof, especially since the sunroof will blend into the black roof quite well. You could get the bits over the sunroof done in perforated vinyl, making them less obvious from inside the car?

the easy way to see what people think you should do is to have a poll with your thread, so I have added it for you

personally I would have them continue over the sunroof

Hmmmm...think the poll says it all! Thanks for the help guys. xxx

Pretty conclusive I'd say.

Congrats on your new MINI - make sure you post plenty of pics!

I like the viper stripes just on the bonnet. I think they look a bit silly up on the roof. However, if you have your heart set on having them on the roof, you must go all the way!

I have black viper stripes, so they can't go over the sunroof, as they would just dissappear. But I think the whole idea of viper stripes is that the go all the way over. But if you decide to stop them over the sunroof. It won't look bad.

I like how yours go over everything except for the chrome part of the grill.
