Better with or without stripes? (Entirely subjective but would like opinions)

I was making a point of over the last couple of weeks to look at MINIs with and without stripes. What I found was that a MINI with stripes was much easier to ID as a MINI than those without. To me, a MINI without stripes just isn't a MINI.

those stripes, you are better without.

If you are starting all over, then put the OEM style ones back on.

Hate to go against the crowd vote here, but for some reason I like it without now that you have that black hood scoop. Maybe it's just because of the type of stripes that were on there before, but otherwise I like the look of how it sits now.
