We completed our first installation of a "Flower Power" grapic on Christmas eve. We replaced a factory UJ that came with the MINI from the dealer. We documented some parts of the installation and got some great before and after pictures. I did not want to post them all here, but I've attached a link where all the pictures are posted for now until we get them uploaded to our site. Enjoy.

gotta tell you man, that is kinda weird looking, a little too hippy, beetle esque, if you catch my drift. oh well to each his own. you guys should do a full car union jack, i would buy that if you had it.

Jason - Check out the "Custom MINI Graphics " page on http://www.cooperflags.com. You will see our version of the full wrap Union Jack. The girl who had the flower design installed was a former beetle owner. The MINI is cool because it means something different to all of us.

Looks good Matt!

BTW, are you still looking to install a roof application for free (Marketplace thread) or has that MINI now been selected. If you still need it, that's cool. If not, let me know and I'll unsticky the post.

BadSMini ... your url link has an extra "." in it which breaks it

I am embarrassed to say I rather like the look of that flower power car. Good job!

Looks FUN!

My eyes think she needs a couple of small ones on her door or rear quarter panel!

No Matter, still a great and individualizing effect!

I like it! But of course this is from a guy that put a ring of 2-1/2in.black dots around the edge of the roof on a red and white S. I wish more people would loosen up and do more creative stuff like this. To me the Mini top is like a canvis waiting to happen, and I'm not even an artist.

I'm not up on posting pics, but if someone could tell me how to pull the pictures off of picturetrail I'd like to post them here. I also want to post the checkered boot/bonnet stripes we installed this weekend.

Matt,

Right click on the pic and go to the properties. Copy them and put them between the required text. I don't know ho to show that wihtout the post showing them as a pic, so I can't tell you what to write.

I'll try it.

[*IMG] image property goes here [/IMG*]

You need to remove the *. That just allowed me to show you the text. Hope this works!

I have to say that FP MINI looks cool! I told my gf that if I was a girl, that would be a cool design to have. Then she mentioned that I could do a Univ. of Michigan theme to my IB/MC. I looked outside and think, that may be too overboard, but if it was done right it would like awesome.
