I have a mineral grey Gt on order. Plan to put silver shelby racing stripes on it. My friends say I should go with black or white instead.

What do you guys think???

Yeah the silver stripes look better than the white and especially the black.

Also considering same option - I'm torn between the silver and black. White is too stark for me. Anyway, if you want to see pics of my '05 MG all zaino'd up, I've got a few on my site.

Found that article on their website. Agree it looks awesome, interesting reading too, but is it mineral grey? It looks more like graphite grey? I also love those wheels, too bad they didn't make production.

Wait a minute, those stripes are silver?!?!? I thought they were white, guess my monitor has seen better days. Well, whatever color they are, it looks nice.

426H,
wait until you see mineral grey in person in direct sunlight..... you might not want to put stripes on at all. i was dead-set on that colour too, but when i saw it is person, it has way too much beige/tan in it and will not look good with any stripe, except maybe black. you might be better off without stripes with that colour.

don't get me wrong, its a sweet colour, but white or silver stripes will not suit the colour because of the brown tones that are visible in direct sunlight.

Silver and white arent the way to go on mineral grey. The best colors would be either a pearl black or a really dark charcoal grey.

this guy is right about mineral gray, i dont think you want to put stripes on it, it is just the wrong color for doing it.every color will be not right... the color is strong on its own.

I kind of like that Mineral Gray color too, but as mentioned, it isn't as much a true gray as the previous year's DSG color.

Possibly, stripes also in a light brown (beige) tone would look better than silver. Maybe the Arizona Beige color used on the 40th Anniversary Package?

I agree, I had MG on order then I saw one in person. Lots of tan/beige mix. Depends on the sunlight. Dont think stripes will work with it.

After seeing it and then seeing Redfire I changed my order to Redfire.

I have a Mineral Grey, and I would say either that Arizona Beige color somebody mentioned or no stripes at all. First I wanted black stripes, than I wanted silver stripes, then I just realized that those don't mesh well with this car. It is a bad a$$ color... don't get me wrong. I love it. It looks more tanny/browny though a lot of the time. And blacks and silvers and greys work with grey, but not with brown. I've decided not stripe it.
