Looked at a Astro black cooper with aero kit.

If i got that, it would be a big change from going from a brightly coloured stickered up red and white mini.
So im thinking do i leave it as all black ....
or add spot lamps
or vipers???

Thanks guys

vipers for me

Astro with Spots for deffo

Everyone is different though and you should personalise the way you want.

i think i may go for the spots eventually. But as it will have xenons, the spotlamps wont be of any use at night. So it seems that it could be a lot of money spent for just the look.
I love the vipers and always think they look great, but i want a change from stripes.

Keep it plain IMO

Same here, plain & simple. There are some lovely all black cars in the gallery (Root Gingers springs to mind).

You could always add some detail touches (mirror caps etc) at a later date.

Good luck keeping it clean through the winter.

carbon mirror caps and boot handle if it dosent have them ive never been sure of vipers on a mini but if my car was all black i would add white bonnet stripes as i think that would look neat and break the black a little

I reckon silver vipers would suit it really well

mooneymini · #10 (**permalink**) Dec 17th, 2006, 04:53 PM

its got all the carbon fibre at the mo, wing mirror caps and dash board etc. So maybe i just stick with that for now....

The xenons are only dipped beem (unless your talking about a R56) so Spot lights are worth it )

I say go for both, Vipers and Spots. Vipers on the roof aswell though

How about Dark Silver Vipers...

...OR...

...Windy Miller will hate me for this...

...White Vipers with a twist...

...Chequered Vipers, but Chequered White Gloss/White Matt

...multiple posts here we come

Vipers Chequred in Silver Matt and Silver Gloss to go with the Silver Alpina Wheels

yeaaaaa, now thats the sort of originality i like.....

if i were to go for vipers id want something different, but not too loud.

I personally dont like the look of spots with vipers as the spots are spaced to the outside of the stripes which fits well with the normal bonnet stripes .....
