right, I have a hyper blue cooper s with a white roof and black 1.2s, recently i dented the bonnet and got a new one in black primer.

the question is I like the idea of having a different colored bonnet, but should i get the roof vinyled black to match the bonnet or the bonnet vinyled white to match the roof?

I am really unsure so any input is greatly welcomed

cheers, josh

you got any pics so we can maybe get one of the "photoshoppers" to do a mock up for you ;) SJ is particularly good at it. :thumbs up:

I think some photo mock-ups would be essential in this case. I'm thinking a big "no" to a different coloured bonnet :frown:, but maybe the photos will show it to be :cool:. (I didn't think I'd ever put black wheels on my car......:smilewinkgrin:)

Contrast, or different colour bonnet has never looked good (IMHO) before. However, it's your MINI and if you like the idea...

Like others have said, some Photoshop work may aide the decision making.

Bad idea IMO

I agree with everyone else, a contrasting colour bonnet would be a bad move :frown:

How about photoshopping a nice 'blowing' chequered flag design on the bonnet & carrying it onto the roof if you want something different??

Sounds horrific. Though each to their own.

I'm afraid I have to agree with others that i'm not a fan of different bonnet. However, don't let us change what you think, its you that has to drive it, and as i've said before, the Mini's are amazing as you can do so much to them to make one of them unique!

Saw the car last night - parked near the Uni Library, right? ;)

Honestly.. don't think black or white would suit the rest of the car, I liked the way it looked before with the plain blue bonnet. Didi it have a Carbon scoop too?

..all just personal opinions tho.. ya gotta make it look how you want it! Sorry, not much help with the PS mock ups either..
