Pic request- MY/black roof w/ checkered mirrors

I'm thinking of getting mirror caps, I like both checkered & UJ, but I'm not sure which will look better with my color combination. Show me your examples and help me decide please.

My suggestion would be make your own from yellow vinyl on your black mirror caps

I think either would look good. The UJ would really pop because of the color against the yellow.

I'd think so too plus last night I went to see the show Monty Python's SPAMALOT, very funny by the way, and that got me thinking about my two beautiful nieces who are British. So I'm leaning towards the UJ.

Any pics folks?

Hi Reza....

I have the Black Jack Roof with Black Jack side scuttles....

At first my MA was asking me if I was sure...( I really wasn't but wanted the UJ somewhere and true UJ definately wouldn't have looked right with Yellow)

After they put them on, the dealer had 3 inquiries to buy my car in the first hour. It looks amazing.....

Your BJ Roof looks fabulous. You got me thinking MiniO. I'm gonna add BJ mirror caps to my list as well. Do you know if they are available as caps?

Dude, go for a checkered roof and leave the mirror caps black Much more dramatic IMO. Here's what mine looks like, just imagine MY instead of CR:
