Pepper White Cooper with black Viper Stripes?

[Pinball]

Please help, I am about to confirm my order and just can't decide on a colour. I am really thinking of getting P/W with the viper stipes in black plus the aero kit, but am unsure about how the colour will affect the cars value. If I don't go for the white, I am stuck between EB, BEP, or Astro black. Problem is, I haven't seen any coopers in these colours and can't really decide. Does anyone have some advice?

If this does not make to much sense, its cos I am typing these on the quiet whilst in work.

P/W with black viper stripes and full aero kit sounds excellent!

I usually hate white cars but the pepper white is cool. I wanted it for my convertible but it is not available.

cheers....

I agree 100% with this. It will look great!

It will look great... just check out the Italian Job!

Bought my PW/B Cooper second hand and the colour had no impact on the price I paid. SWMBO wanted the colour - I wasn't sure on the whole white car thing until I saw it in the flesh. Now I'm a Pepper White fanatic!

Definitely go for the PW, you won't be disappointed.

I recently took my car to the dealer to be valued against a Convertible and the colour didn't affect it at all..

I saw my first EB Cooper yesterday... somehow it didn't seem quite right without the S's bonnet scoop. I think the S looks cool in EB but was unconvinced about the Cooper. I guess over time I'll come to like it too

I have to agree it does look the dogs dangly bits but then I would say that being the owner of a Pepper White Cooper S with black vipers

Watch out for the authenticty mark on the stripes though it shows up a mile away on such contrasting colours. I got a JC signature vynl to cover it up and I think it really finishes the look of the car off

Happy MINIing

What's the authenticity mark? And do you have pictures of your car, would love to see it. I'm thinking of ordering a Cooper S in pw/pw with vipers.

Thanks for all your input guys 'n' gals. I must admit, I am not sure what is meant by an authenticity mark on the V.Stripes. What is it, and where abouts is it?

Counting down the days now.... tick-tock-tick-tock

I've got a PW one on order and was thinking the same thing about having the viper stripes in black.I have seen a picture on here of one with an aero kit on i think the picture was taken on a race track ,possibly Rockingham,but i can't find it.I also have the problem that if i do go the viper stripe route then i won't be able to have it done by the dealer cos ive got the sunroof on order.Having said that don't dealers use proffesional companies to do the stickers instead of having the hassle of doing it themselves,if so they could probably fit one round the sunroof

I'll post a piccy of the car tonight.

The authenticity mark is located (looking from the back of the car) on the right roof stripe near the back of the car. You'll only see it on authentic BMW stripes and other vynl products. They use it to protect the customer and the dealers to prove that they are authentic stripes, it's due to the number of unapproved vynls on the market today.

Well, I had to turn in my black 02 mini because of all the problems and purchased a
PW with black roof. Everyone who has seen it says it looks classy. My old mini was a racing mini, rally lights and all. But PW is a mature mini, a classy mini; it's mini all grown up! (Still tons o fun though.)
