Union Jack or no?

Any one out there got pics of Horizon Blue R56 with white roof and Union Jack mirror caps and/or roof decal. Wife and I are discussing and she thinks it might look better with black and white caps and decal while I am considering red, white and blue Jacks for mirror and roof. Some pics might tip the decision one way or the other

For that color, go blackjacks, not union jack. If it where me I would leave the roof and side mirrors the same, and buy a rearview mirror cap (blackjack though). I have a checkered one in that spot and it adds a lot.

I went full blackjack instead of unionjack on my mini.
Included the top decal, side mirrors, handles, scuttles, you name it.



Go blackjack if you're going to go with that style I think.
But hey, it's up to you. :D

I don't think the black jack would look good on a white roof. I think the deciding factor is how close the blue in the union jack matches the color of your car. On my car for example, the red in the decal is close to chili red so it looks ok. Get a set of mirror caps and put them up to the car; if they look ok, then the roof will too. If they don't look good, return them.
