It depends on what decade..
50's = Just NO.
60's = Maybe.. (Coopers)
70's = Nah.
80's = Maybe..
90's = Yes. (On Coopers)
That's my thoughts anyway.

Personally for me if it is a mk1 or 2 it looks better without. Mk3 onwards i think it looks better with.

Without!! It is part of their heritage, but I think its good to be different sometimes and they look ace without. Maxandpaddys are something else though

The bonnet stripes on Minis started on the Tour de France when the 'works' needed to be able to identify which of their cars was which at a glance. One car had just one sripe, one had two stripes and the other had one on the opposite side. That is as stated in the works Mini book.

Definitely a late model, but is that a cooper? Looks really smart either way

Cheers! Yeah its a 93 cooper. It was more or less stock when I got it but slowly changing it to a cleaner look, just waiting for my mounting plinths for my chrome mirrors at the moment =)
