Different types of bonnet stripes?

I've seen plain white, plain black, white with a black edging and black with a white edging.

The stripes with contrasting edging look the best, IMHO.

But at the dealerships, I've only seen the plain white or plain black stripes.

How do I ensure my car gets the "edged" set? Are they a factory item, dealer-fit or third-party thing? And if it's either of the first two, what's the part number for white stripes with black edges?

Ordered my "S" August '01. Arrived July '02. EB with white roof, wheels and stripes, Chili pack, DSC and climate control. Hate those 17" runflats though.

Can now be seen all over the West Midlands, as a blue blur passing everything at speed

I saw edged and non-edged at my dealer but she said that only the non-edged ones were fitted in the dealership - the bordered ones had come direct from the factory.

Red/white Cooper with Chilli, AC, ASC+T, Computer, Kenwood MP3, Alarm, 17" wheels, BLOODY BIG SMILE.

It may say Lincoln but oi be Oirish.

Incredible!

Does anybody out there know have any information on this stripe pattern? And is it just me, or is this quite possibly the world's most attractive MINI?

By the way, if the owner should happen to recognize this car (or if anybody knows them), I'd be very grateful if you'd contact me via e-mail.

Thanks, everybody.
