Should I get bonnet stripes?

I have a pepper white one, I really like the bonnet stripes on the white but
i'm a bit worried it might look a little odd with the white roof?! I also don't want it to look like i'm trying to make my one look like a cooper.....what do you think?

beautiful in white!

Get them! Or put Viper stripes, those will go on your roof too.

They will look great whether you get anything on the roof or not

One of the Italian Job MINIs were pepper white with a white roof and black bonnet stripes and it looked good!

Pepper white looks nekkid without the stripes. They're a must, no matter what colour roof you have.

I always think its personal choice when it comes to stripes - personally I don't like them but know I'm in the minority.

Without a doubt get the stripes, and if you've got a bit of extra cash then go for the Viper srtipes, they look awesome on an all pepper white MINI
