Must say i like it! :approve: Them stripes seem a bit 'thick' tho, are they official Vipers from BMW?

Mine is just a plain old Cooper tho, no kit or anything like that, will it not look too much?

It would still look good, as you can see from the pics of Willies car.

His had an aero kit tho, mine doesnt. Therefore im scared it will look strange on a non kitted car.

Ihave an Indy blue cooper, black roof, with silver stripes which are similar to vipers, but not exactly the same. (They have a wee pinstripe round them, and they stop shorter than the BMW ones)

I think it looks REALLY cool !! :D

Would look good I think as long as the stripes were chunky!:cool:

I think i'd prefer viper stripes that are as wide as normal bonnet stripes

Remember that the OEM stripes have a narrow border - silver, white or black. Just my opinion but I think that the vipes shouldn't have these and need to be 8-10mm wider to compensate. There is a website somewhere linked to from Mini2 where there is a gallery of all types of Vipes. Some really cool, especially the ones that go right down to the bumpers. Just my take on it :D

Silver on Indy blue and Black works great. If you send me your email address I can forward pictures of a Indy blue cooper with silver vipers we did for a customer, so you can see for yourself.
