White or Black stripes on Hot Orange?

I'm leaning towards black stripes.. but I change my mind hourly...

I'm hopefully ordering mine soon (trading in my Indi Blue MCS... )

I voted black. I think it looks awesome.

On the flip side, I haven't seen white on HO yet...it would be unique.

Look at my sig for white pictures. I thought about black, but decided white would "brighten" up the car a bit... There weren't too many pictures available when we decided on the color, so I took some pretty close up.

Well I clicked on the link and it didn't work, so here it is.

Black will match the roof much, much better. I'd only consider white if the roof will be down all the time.

I've ended up ordering the black.

I'm adding driving lights later.

I think they both look good, but the black ones hit me a bit more.

I would like to get the stripes too, but can't decide black or white either. Then a friend suggested getting orange stripes (obviously a slightly different shade to the car!)
Then i thought maybe a MATT orange - sort of like a ghost stripe

any thoughts?

Definetly agree. If I were getting a MINI Convertible, I'd get that color choice...Hot Orange, Black top and Black Stripes. Very Nice!
