Question "Frost" Bonnet Stripe on Chili Red??

I'm thinking about adding bonnet stipes but haven't made any decisions yet. I'm kind of curious what a 'Frost' colored stripe would look like on a Chili Red Cooper... anyone have a pic or know where I could find one?? I've seen them on silver and black but never red...

thanks!

I haven't seen one, but I reckon it would look really nice.

By frost, i presume you mean light silvery colour.

i think silver bonnet stripes and a silver roof would look awesome! Its the whole roof on silver thats the problem £££

Actually, from the pictures I checked out on www.cooperflags.com the 'Frost' is more like the finish of frosted glass (hmmm, the name seems to make sense ) It creates a tone on tone type finish that I think is really classy.

I'm going to *try* to attach two pics below from the site - I think it looks fabulous on both the silver and black, but like I said.. I haven't seen it on the Red yet. I'm thinking about just going for it...





What do you guys think?

p.s. - These AREN'T my pictures or my work - if you're interested, check out www.cooperflags.com... And to the folks over there - Awesome work, thanks for the pictures, and maybe we'll be talking soon

Frost picks up the underlying color, and complements any chrome that you have. It should look fine on red, but not sure how a third color black or white roof might affect it.

Early is on time; On time is late.
