I think only 3 colors can pull off the "nekkid" look nicely. JB, DS and PS. I say leave it stripeless, it looks awesome.

After seeing Tig's pic above, I'd say CR can pull it off, too !

Actually, I think an "S" can pull it off but a Just-a-Cooper needs the stripes.

it also depends on accesories.
Tig's car looks great nekkid 'cause of the aero kit, chrome ext., driving lights, intake scoop, etc . . . though I love black stripes on CR, I think a car like Tig's might look too busy with them, and it looks better as is


tig - are those aftermarket chrome cowl grills?

Yes sir. I've got my eye on the new "real" chrome ones though. And Santa knows. Let's hope he doesn't check his list twice!

i thought my pw mini looked great without stripes. until i put on the stripes (as shown in my sig) when looking at older pictures of my mini. it looks NAKED!!
(did the stripes myself) saved myself some money and had fun!!

but sigh. i keep seeing CLEAN sexy black mini's. maybe i should trade mine in for a black one. and get the satisfaction of a CLEAAAAAAAN detail job...NOTTTT!!
i love my pw. ( i can be a little lazy at times when cleaning and it'll STILL look clean!!)
unlike my girlfriend's black accord. too much work.

Yep, IF... IF, I put stripes on Dr Evil, I'll do them myself. I did the boot stripes on the CR MC and it was eeeeeeeeeeeeasy.

I hear you... our PW MC is a breeze to keep looking good. Hides the swirl marks so well, I'm not even sure it has any !!

But when you polish and wax that Jet Black... he's an eye-turner !!

Dr Evil sure is looking sparkley & shiney
No offense to anyone who likes the neked look but I think Dr Evil is screaming for some bonnet bling Of course I'm not know as one who goes for the understated look

I think the only bling Dr. Evil requires is some nice driving lights.

Well, ladies, we've only had the Doctor for 11 days, 10 hours, and 43 minutes. Give me a LITTLE time to fix him all up !!

Hey! I say OB runs around "nekkid" quite nicely, thank you. Of course, OB looks lovely with some clothes on, but her "nekkid" beauty is something to behold

A woman vote for nekkid. His stripes sure do look good, but I am all for subtle understatements.

Motor that boy nekkid

Well, Blimey... at home, I have the opposite problem. My honey is telling me, "Slow down with all these ideas for mods !!!".

Slow down ? :impatient Geez, I've only added a little bling here and there and stripped him nekkid so far !! Oh... I do have a couple other little things in the works. But STILL !! MINIs were built for modding !!!
