I have already ordered my BRG MINI Cooper with white roof and I am wrestling with the question of whether or not I should get white bonnet stripes. Initially, I was definitely going for it, but now I'm not as sure. I still have a few weeks before my MINI will arrive at the dealership where they will add the stripes. If anyone could advise and/or post photos, that would be a great help to me. Thanks in advance.

I think more than any other color, BRG is set off beautifully by white stripes.

Check my gallery or website for lots of pictures.

Go with the bonnet stripes! They are so cool looking. I've got many positive comments on mine...

I don't know how to link you to my photo's, but if you go to the personal photo section for brgtr3, you'll see an awesome brg MCS w/ stripes.

niall · Mar 24th, 2003, 05:50 PM

Has to be done. Just got new ones fitted as the other ones got ruined by flying stones and they are worth every penny.

Humourl3ss · Mar 24th, 2003, 06:43 PM

Absolutely go for it.

BRG with white stripes is among the best colour combinations. The green is so dark that it throws the white into very sharp relief.

Its a Cooper. They should have stripes by default!!!!
See my gallery for some pics.

MINIMENC · Mar 25th, 2003, 07:27 AM

Yes - do it!

fishie <///>< · Mar 26th, 2003, 02:56 PM

go for the stripes. it's as classic as it gets.

Moris · Mar 27th, 2003, 09:29 PM

I own a BRG/W Cooper without stripes, but if I were you (or if I had to reorder the car) I definitely should go for stripes.

Go for the stripes - Before I got my MINI i was against having stripes, but now I realise that the MINI looks way better with stripes. I also think that driving/spot lights make stripes look better - especially when the stripes are placed to start directly behind the driving/spot light.

Kinster · Mar 27th, 2003, 09:58 PM

yeah, go for black bonnet stripes

You would hardly see them on the BRG and wouldn't look right with a white roof (my 2p)
