P/W Cooper with red viper stripes?

[Fernandez]

Hi! This is my first post but I've found previous threads such a great help when ordering my new Mini Cooper that I thought I'd post my own! So let's bring you up to date - have just ordered a Pepper White Cooper with red/black cloth/leather interior, p/w roof and p/w mirror caps. I'm pretty sure I want some sort of stripes in red (not a very bright pillar box red but a red to match the seats, which is a slightly deeper red) but can't decide whether to just get bonnet stripes or viper stripes. I'm going to attach 2 piccies - 1 showing red bonnet stripes and 1 showing red vipers (done using paintshop on the computer). Lemme know what you all think! Thanks! P.S. I'm a girl, and am wondering if vipers are more suited to boys!

I'm new here too and welcome to the boards. I love the Pepper White with the Red stripes, it's really sporty. Doesn't matter if you're a girl or guy on either. Both are great choices, but if I had to choose just one, I personally like the one I see on the right. which are the 2 stripes close together for your particular colors. But both look really nice.

Fernandez, welcome to MINI2

Why the sad face though You've just ordered a great MINI cooper so you should be

The red vipers look better than the normal stripes

is it just me or do they look slightly more pink than red??

i think the darker red vipers would look fantastic & very original.

Welcome tom MINI2 Fernandez

Go for the vipers - I think they look real smart with the red on PW

[Fernandez]

Thanks for all the feedback everyone! Sounds like everyone thinks vipers are the way to go - think I preferred those all along but needed reassurance! I'll post some piccies when I pick it up (first/second week in May). Thanks again! P.S. Someone commented that the stripes looked pink - think that's probably just our dodgy use of Paintshop! The actual colour I want is quite similar to the Chili Red Mini.

I just ordered my pepper white Mini S with black top - I'll get it in September.
I like the red stripes in the bonnet, but not the roof.

I ordered mine without stripes because the pepper white is just so beautiful.

Good luck with it.

Welcome to the Pepper White Club. I think the red stripes look great. I am partial to the stripes on the left side.

I think that if you are getting the driving lamps, the regular bonnet stripes would look good because they would look like they are pointing to the lights. If you aren't getting the driving lamps then the vipers would look nice!

vipers all the way
