Think it depends on the colour and the age.
The dark green cars look great with the bonnet stripes, IMHO, as do the red ones. In fact the darker colours seem to look better with stripes.
With the white ones and other pale colours I think they look better without. White, with a black roof, always looks fantastic with no stripes.
Early cars look best without bonnet stripes from my point of view.
It's a personal thing really.

As you've got the full length bonnet straps, I'd say remove the stripes

+1 remove the stripes. the stripes only cost 7 quid of mini sport so if you want them back its not to bad.
