Hi everyone
:smilewinkgrin:
I am collecting my mini cooper next week and can't wait! It's red with white roof and mirror caps,it's not brand new and had white bonnet stripes which were a bit tatty so dealership are removing them for me.Now I'm not sure if I should replace them or not! I also quite like white wheels,it has alloys and dealer said they can be painted white,thoughts please as I'm not sure if it would be worth it? Do they look good ? Are they hard to keep looking good? I'm sure I'll be asking more advice but for now hope to hear from some of you soon! :bigwave::bigwave:

Welcome to the site.

My sister got a new Cooper red with white roof and mirrors but has yet to get the stripes on the bonnet. I’ve actually got used to it now but at first I was saying get the stripes on that to finish it off.

Welcome :)

If you like to keep your car clean then get them, if not then avoid. As others have said, if they arent kept clean they will go yellow... :O

If you have a look at my gallery, you'll see my car is pretty much identical to what your talking about. But take it from me, the white alloys are a huge pain in the ass to keep clean!

I had a look and your car is gorgeous! looks like mine but I have no stripes( and mines' only a cooper!).Love the chequered mirror too! Are your wheels painted or did you buy white alloys? I'm scared painted ones will look tacky! Mini dealership says they can do them no problem.
