Basic Cooper stripes are a bit straighter actually... The MSC ones have to curve out a bit at the ends to clear the SC scoop opening. But yeah, that gives you an idea...

Hey Matt

I was sorry to hear about your accident. However, I gotta say that the new Nano looks pretty sizzlin hot! Too bad you don't have an auto ungrade plan for the supercharger grills that be got from you previously as I really like the new ones It looks like you've already done some mods. What exhaust did you put on?

My vote would be the same stripes as Matt/ImagoX, but blacking out your grill as he has done -- just my opinion of what I'd do, since you asked for input.

I like the blackout look, but I thinks its better on the MCS. I have those chrome bumpers, so that would look weird black. Id have to black out AND paint the bumpers body color.

I actually like the chrome as is, though I kinda hate the bumpers. My question is more or less black or white stripes.

I like the curve of the MCS stripes. Would those fit a MC?

What about this look, with my chrome of course..



Ohh, and the stripes on the MCS and MC look about the same to me. Maybe Im wrong.

I guess these could qualify as sport stripes, one of the classics at this years Philly Mini Meet.

I'm still trying to come up with something to show my striper guy. I want the wide like Viper/Shelby stripes without the thin stripes along side the wide.

I have the sunroof and I'm catching crap about going over it. It's what I want though. White stripes over red bonnet, red stripes over white roof and tinted sunroof, ending with white stripes over the red boot. I guess the sunroof will not make for a clean look, but it's there and isn't going to disappear.

I had a quote of $300. I joke with my Hubby that I'll do it myself. He laughed. Until I informed him that when he met me I had striped the car I was driving then. Two wide black stripes on a red hood. Just the hood, but still.

That looks awesome -- would also look great with the stripes like Ripper's (I've always been partial to symmetry)

Reflective vinyl like used for stop signs etc.. and yes you can cut it just like reg. vinyl. Whatever you want..It all pretty much turns white/silver when it "lights" up.
