i bumped my mini, should i change the bonnet stripes to viper stripes???

i bumped my copper into some stupid women in a golf the other day, i managed the crack my front bumper push my spot lamp into the bonnet thus denting the bonnet (and the spots dont work. man did that put me in a bad mood.

any way the bonnet has to be replaced so was thinking of having viper stripes fitted instead of my bonet stripes. i have the areo body kit and think it would look pretty cool.
what do you guys think? will my new bonnet have the new styles headlights fitted coz im not sure if i like them?


What do you think keep the bonnet stripes of have vipers??

and on a complety different note does anybody know of any mini meets in the coventry area, i'd love ot go to one but they always seem so far away from me.


see its not bad.

I`d keep the standard stripe layout on your colour combo, although Vipers do look good on an S Bonnet.
I`m pretty sure the repairers will just swop over your old lights onto the new bonnet,
... in fact even if your headlights had got smashed in the accident, you`d almost certainly still have exactly the same type of lights as replacments

Sorry to hear about your bump - it is so annoying.

I'd go for viper stripes. I much prefer vipers to ordinary bonnet stripes.

Re any local meets, I had a look at mini2mini.co.uk today - they have a local club meeting at The Bassets Pole pub, A38 near to Tamworth/Sutton Coldfield. Is this close enough to where you live? I am a Leicester lass living in Sutton now so not too familar with the West Midlands yet.
