Any R53 with black roof, aero kit, black bonnets and CF mirros?
Im about changing the colour of the roof, what do you think about it?
Anyone have photos?
Thanks
there's actually a nice one just like yours near me. for some reason the stripes on the new MINIs look a little better....i think it's because they're set a little wider and aren't as close to the hood scoop.

Well, that, and the fact that the slope of the hood is definitely different on the R56s. Either way, my OEM stripes on my R53 (my poor sold baby) looked exactly like the old OEM on the R56. i've seen a lot of R53s with custom-made curved stripes which really accentuate the slope of the hood near the scoop. When getting stripes, please ask a lot of folks where to get them - don't go with just one opinion. I've had some serious problems with some of the vendors on NAM, so if you're interested in doing this anytime soon, PM me and I'll give you some more input.
