Union Jack A-Panels....Anyone Got 'Em?? Pics???

So I'm thinking about putting some union jack a-panels on from Aesthetic Creations just wanted to know if anyone had them on a Hyper Blue? I think I'm gonna do black outline with hyper blue background...same color scheme as this one....
Pepper White from AE's website:


Thanks,
Steve

I was going to do the same thing on my British Racing green. I just dont know what color. They also have options for custom flags. Any ideas of what other flags would look cool?

I've got a set of Frosted Union Jack A-Panels on my AB R53. I'll try and get a pic up in the next day or 2 just in case it'll help

I'm really liking those A-panels. It's more subtle than some of the other graphics, but still fun and clean.

Hmmm.... one more option to consider.

@ soccerbummer1104, yes, they're 17" Borbet's. I can't remember the model but they've got the silver facing with the rest black. It's less "sporty" than the Kazera's that I had (and inadvertantly destroyed ) but I think the black and silver combo looks at home on my AB/S R53

@ trippmullins, I don't have any pics to illustrate this but, when not in direct sunlight it's sometimes hard to tell that they're there until you get close I also think that the "sparkles" (the Frau's word, not mine) look great next to the metallic flake in the Astro Black.

DrillSlinger....is the vinyl a complete overlay of the entire panel or is the vinyl just the stipes of the flag?

Just the stripes. It was kind of a pain lining them up (as you may be able to tell) but they go on and haven't lifted in... about a year

So my next purchase will be these A Panel UJs. How ever i cant decide what to get. I love the AC ones but PirateMini has come brand new designs. I just cant imagine some stuff on my BRG '04. Does anyone know about the difficulty of the application of these? AC also can do anything custom. Any good ideas of custom stuff?
