To Stripe or Not to Stripe

I just bought some black bonnet stripes and fitted them yesterday morning. I was wondering what you all though. I can always remove them

I have uploaded a couple of pics for comparison .....

I like - especially with the black roof. I must admit though, I do like the look of Dark Silver/black cars without the stripes too....

Have to go with 'dont mind them either way'
