The black stripe is very subtle on the dark grey (IMO i like that), and an obvious contrast on the chili red





I like how the stripe goes both over and under the wing

That's a real nice combination I like how wide the stripes are. I'm thinking of going wider also.

Jamie, love these stripes!

Now that Minspeed is no more (looks like it closed in early 2010 - Cancer, damn unlucky mate! ), does anyone know where I can get this style stripes, but with the black and white reversed for my Ice Blue/Black top MCa?

Also, has anyone put these checker-into-stripes down the side of their mini? Love to see some photos of that, if so. Thanks!

Here are some pics of my stripes before and after the black grill. Now I just need to do something with the headlight rings.

Jay Wong,
I am liking you bonnet strips, for the Side strips my favorite is #3, than #1. The others IMO I don't like. But your MINI is looking Good.

ParsedOut - That's waht I thought it was when I first looked at it. I had to stare at for a minute to understand that it is a white MCS with black stripes. A "FATTY" stirpe on a MCS with hood scoop might look good.

The roof of the car was the standard black factory paint but the checks are flat black. The installer just covered the roof with a large wrap that had flat checks with cutout(squares) that had no film and unrolled it over the roof.

As far as the mirrors, I just cut up some of the left over flat squares/checks and put them on the mirror my self.

The company that installed the roof wrap was one of the companies in St Louis that does the wraps for commercial vehicles.

+1 First roof I've seen like that. Cool and unique! Flat black stripes over a black roof and matching flat or gloss on the hood and deck body color may look good too. Hummm... You've got me thinking.

Ok, no new posts for awhile but hopefully a few can post their opinions I've been flipping btw red and silver viper stripes for while for my EG roadster but after seeing the car (fiiiinally) red is out. So now I'm caught btw met. Silver or straight up chrome stripes. There's quite a bit of chrome on the car but the rims are silver. I just don't know if the chrome would be hot or tacky. What do you guys think? Thanks
