go to http://xiek.com and click on the mini part, then meets, then Dragon 2006.... there are some pics there I believe of the silver grey, they may only be at night... I have seen it and it looks pretty good.

Does look excellent though Xiek - inspiring!
and a lot patience, more so if you don't want that extra hole... cause you only get like a 1/10 turn of the allan key otherwise...

Just to be completely **** and stuff, but a Union Jack is flown on a boat, what you have are union flags.
I'm an ex-pat brit so I should know. Not that it's going to stop me putting union jacks on "Smudge" when she arrives

Good info for us damn Yanks. I also learned there is a right-side up on the Union flag, but it is kinda hard to explain it. Perhaps TimG, you would share with us your homegrown wisdom - how do you tell if a Union flag is flying correct?

I'm afraid I don't know. But everyone should have at least one jack on their mini, it being british/german/french and or american with the old engines
Love those gauges MiniMaybee, when they come out for the 2007, they will be on my shopping list, very quiet and understated. How hard are they to install??

Actually, on the '06 anyway, they are very easy to install. I'm no mechanical genius so they must have been easy .
Here's a little better picture (I'm no photography genius either - no really I'm not):


and some others on my Flickr sets. Enjoy.

Well I am partial to the Jack and it only seems fitting for the MINI. Besides, it sure beats the confederate and NASCAR motif!

I believe I order it on Ebay, however I manage to find pictures of the packaging. They have a website http://wwwclassicautospares.com, but I'm not sure where to look for the badges.
