Question Pictures of Chili Red MCS w/Black roof and bonnet stripes?

Hi

I wonder if anyone have some good pictures of a Chili Red Mini Coooper S with Black roof and Black bonnet stripes? Or can post a link to some? I looked at some hundred pictures/galleries and will continue looking, but no luck yet.

I have ordered one without the Black bonnet stripes and just wonder if I made a "mistake"

Thank you for all your help!

Hei.

If you take a look at my gallery, I have a CR/B Cooper with the stripes. Still, no S, but I love it nonetheless.

I would advise you strongly to go with the stripes, they make the world difference to the car. It looks much more streamlined with them.

Thank you, Preben. I must admit it looks very cool with the stripes.

My choice was between Chili Red and Hyper Blue, both with black roof. I got a close look at the Hyper Blue and I didn't like the black stripes on that "dark" car. So when I decided to order the Chili Red, I didn't order bonnet stripes.

Now I have to try to get an "overview" picture of a MCS with the stripes before I decide. And hopefully it's not too late to change my order without the car getting delayed...

Yes, thank you. Little too much light on the bonnet, but looks great.

Unfortunatly my girlfriend doesn't like the stripes, but I can't let that stop me

Hi and Welcome to MINI2.

I saw a Red / Black MCS earlier on this week. It looked really nice. Sorry no photos. I must admit most of the Red MINIs I see do have white roofs, but the black option caught my eye. I have a Hyper Blue MCS with black roof/mirrors,again, white seems to be the most common with that body colour too, I was doubtfull when I first made my order, but when it arrived I was made up I specced it that way. It goes really well with the darkened glass option.

I didn't get the bonnet stripes but I am having a roof decal fitted next week. Its the "S" badge scaled up to about 1 metre in size.

Go for the Black, you won't regret it.

Sorry to take your thread offtopic, but speaking of roofdecals.
I really, really want a black/white/gray UnionJack roofdecal. Anyone know where I can locate one?

That's okay, Preben. I guess writing in Norwegian is a big no no

Thank you for the feedback folks. I still haven't found a great picture, but tomorrow I will call the dealer and ask if I can get the black bonnet stripes without delaying the production.

Today I called the dealer and he added Black Bonnet stripes to the order.
He said it wouldn't postpone the production and I hope not since it's two months to wait already. I can hardly wait
