Hi,

I have my Mini Cooper

now for just 3 weeks and I am still not too sure what to do with my car.

On the other hand I think that the Bonnet stripes will be too much of the best, but on the other hand I think my car will be completly "ready"
Now I attached a photo of my car and I would like to know what you think about the stripes..

I asked some of my best friends for their opinion and I was an equal score

For those who are interested in my roof. I painted it. GBMINI helped me out of this and it worked out really fine.

Please tell me your opinion because I really don't know what to do.

In my opinion, a red/white MINI just doesn't look complete without bonnet stripes!

Especially one with the UJ roof like yours.

I think there's too much bright colour without the stripes, but with them it looks great!!

Get them fitted!!

Stripes you need the stripes it finishes the appearance

Nice roof

Bet that cost a few euro`s

Isn't it illegal to have a red/white mini AND a Union Jack and not have bonnet stripes?

Well if it's not, it should be!

LordWinslow · Jan 18th, 2004, 11:36 PM

oh yes you must have Bonnet Stripes. I am going to add those this summer after the winter ends.

stripes, check out my gallery.

Thank you all for your great replies.

I went to the local dealer and ordered 2 bonnet stripes.

I expect to have them on my car this week. Price of the stripes is 40 Euro.... Price of attaching the stripes........60 Euro (ridiculous).

Anyway...

I will add some photo's if the weather will be better..
