Painting Hood Scoop or not??

Trying to give a little style to the car... but not quite sure how this idea is going to look... i'm thinking of painting the scoop in white, the mcs is black with the white stripes in bonnet and trunk, and white rear lamps... What you think??

Doesn't work for me, but it's not my MINI. If you like it, go for it!

If you already have a bunch of white accents, it should look good. I've done similar with black accents on my yellow MINI.

I think that it will look great with all of the white accents. I plan on a similar set up with silver.

I would say black if you're gonna keep the white stripes. White accents can be cool....but i think the stripes are already accenting the hood nicely with white. I would worry about the scoop distracting the eye from the stripes as they run along the hood.

Just my 2 cents though...
