Stay Union Jack or go Checkered?

Well everyone. Let me first say that I love my Union Jack A panels. I have never seen any Mini in Texas that looks like mine. But i feel like you can only have so much Union Jack.



BUT....When I saw this pic, I was floored.


I would love to have checks and UJ but that would look terrible IMHO.

You can do so much more with Checkers. So I may be making a conversion. I need some help desision making. I will be getting an aero kit, so after that, should I convert?

Yeah, you can't go with checkers on the MINI and keep the UJ A-panels.

And you're right, you can do sooooooo much with checkers. So if you're not stuck on the UJ theme, go ahead and make the switch... it would look GREAT !

I get a lot of positive comments and adoring stares when driving my CR Cooper.

I say GO FOR IT.

Oh and I would continue the bonnet stripes down the aero kit as well.
