Black Jack OR Checker

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to decide on the new side mirror cover for my new 2012 PW/B Cooper. I had my mind set on Black Jack until I saw an actually PW cooper with checker side mirror covers....
What's your take on this?
Please post pictures if you have either one of these covers.

Thank you,

I'm looking forward to see some pics in here. I'm having the same quandary for my Eclipse Gray Clubman. I'm also considering scuttles and the rear view mirror.

Black Jack for sure with your Eclipse Gray it will L@@K so C@@L!! Molly's got the British Flag Side Scuttles, License Plate Frame, and Valve Caps, I've thought of replacing her Valve Caps to Black Jack, but haven't decided if I'd like the look or not since I'd being going out of her color scheme.

You could make the mirror caps using vinyl over your current caps. With the cost being so much lower you could change them at will.
Theres a great how-to thread on that around here.

Okay!
I've finally decided and purchased blackjack side view and rear view mirrors!!
I got them from Prestige MINI in NJ (free shipping and no sales tax if you live outside of NJ). They totaled up to be $195, which is about $70 off the discounted price that my dealer had quoted me for!! I'll post some pics once i get them installed =)
