I can't decide between white bonnet stripes on my BRG S, which I know look good, because I saw one at the dealer, or black, which the girl working there said looks really sharp. I've seen one photo on here of the silk green with black, and it looked good. I can't picture the black on such a dark color though.
Anyone have a photo? I've looked and looked through here, haven't found one yet.

Hi XSmall,what colour is your roof,as this should dictate the colour of the stripes.

XSmall · Jun 16th, 2002, 10:14 AM

That's just it. I can't decide between black or white for the whole kit.

I prefer my MINIs with a white roof,I mean its like strawberrys and cream both are nice,but put them together and WOW.

PS,Or is it that I'm just trying to relive my youth.

I think you've hit the nail right on the head there..

BRG with white is racey while BRG with black is smooth and sophisticated.

Depends what you want from it, white turns more heads

That's what I wonder. The dealer said there is a tiny white pinstripe to set off the black. That's why I'm looking for a photo - it's hard to picture black on such a dark color.

Hey,

Does anyone have a pic of a DS MCS w/ white roof and BLACK bonnet stripes?

This is the config I am considering for my MCS that's coming in in a couple of days. I think the black bonnet stipes have a generally more aggressive look.

I appreciate any help.

TIA

I've ordered the Rogue Engineering stripes for my DS S. Slow getting here though.
