F55/F56 Just got the Union Jack Flag mirror caps for the MCS F56. You should too.

My Mini Cooper is red with white roof, so the mirror caps were white as well. I bought the Union Jack Flag and it looks superb. Unfortunately this system won't let me upload an image, but I recommend you consider buying something like this for your F56. It lifts the exterior image a lot and gives it a lot of personality.

BTW, I got 20% just by asking for it! I was nice to the manager since day one (I usually am, it was not meant to be manipulative) but it paid off very well. I suggest you treat them like friends because they've got employer's discounts which they can pass on to you if you (and them) are kind enough.

Happy motoring!

I'm considering the black and gray checkers for Toaster:

Personally not a fan of exterior graphics, I know they add personality/ w/e but my car will be a solid color with no stripes or mirror covers/ roof covers etc. I guess I'm just boring.

Usually I totally agree with ZPayne and Marco, I'm no fan of sticking crap on the outside of my car. I test drove a MCS which had the black and grey checkered mirror covers and it looked really cool! Subtle. That could be my middle name, Subtle. I ordered my MCS with them.

Funny how sometimes the most unexpected things result in change.

Yup, I missed your point but agree with you in any case. In fact I mentioned your mirror covers to my wife as an example of breaking my subtlety rule. I didn't remember who had those but that's neither here nor there, I like them!
