Hey All--

I was searching a few sites and I see that there are the union jack mirror caps avaliable. However its the complete mirror kit to replace the orginal. Is there any sort of sitcker that I can put on the the original caps so I am able to remove it in the future? Any info would be great.

Thank you
Skoobeedu

To be honest, a "sticker" type decal would not look very good. You are better off biting the bullet and getting the full Union Jack replacement mirror caps.


Just my opinion.

Shhhhh! - we are workin on a prototype now and should be ready with final product by EOM. Price is yet to be determined, but they will be made from the same high quality 3M material used in our roof graphics.

Here's a picture of a MINI in Denver.







Personally, I think if you're going to do the Union Jack Mirror Caps, you shouldn't have a roof flag. It just seems a little overstyled to me.

This car shown above raises some additional things to consider:
- The blues and reds of the 5 flags on the car (roof, mirrors and stickers under the side turnsignals) all have different shades of blue and red.
- none of the reds is chilli red, which makes the color mismatch all the more noticable (not a problem if you don't have chilli red).

Dave
