I photoshopped these images to give an indication of an indie blue cooper with the stripes.

I did them pretty quickly so they are a bit rough...

What does anyone think? Should I go for them? I'm swaying to a yes...

Well if you like 'em go for it. Personally I prefer the car without the stripes. Have seen a couple with and IMHO does nothing for it !
Sorry!

I agree, the stripes are a bit much for me too! Go with what you know!

Originally I was leaning toward the bonnet stripes simply on principle, then I saw how they looked on the Cooper and started leaning away from them, now I've seen how they look on the S and I'm leaning toward them again (I think they suit the more pugnosed S bonnet better). Some day I'll have to decide...

The pics and reality are quite different ! Having seen stripes on a MINI in the flesh I wouldn't consider them for mine. It makes the front end lok too 'busy'. The pics I have seen of cars with stripes look OK, but personally if you like 'em have what you want !

smiffy · Jan 17th, 2002, 08:03 AM

They look really good with Indie Blue. Are they Blue side repeaters too

monsta · Jan 17th, 2002, 08:16 AM

I personally don't like BMW stripes, but I have ordered a set of stripes from mini spares which I like the look of.

At the end of the day, its personal opinion...

Nice pic, nice car...just looks to me like it's done a ram-raid by driving in reverse !

ELISEBOY · Jan 17th, 2002, 01:53 PM

well i am going for the stripes
there are so many companies doing them and they are all slightly different

i also like the ones that are on the back
but will prob go with the ones from minispares as per monsta!

Kinster · Jan 18th, 2002, 06:29 PM

I had them on my order but decided to take them off. £50 for 2 stickers isn't really worth it. Also IMHO I thought it made the car look cheap!

Good luck in whatever you choose!

I thought that they looked naff in piccies until I saw a BRG cooper with white stripes on it, looked great!

Guess what's got added to my list of options!?
