Nice...I like em'
Where did you get them?

I recently had Union Jack sunroof graphics installed (no images yet) and had the blue triangles replaced with BRG (british racing green) to match my R50 and I think it looks awesome.

I'm all for doing decals out of the ordinary, I like the whole "BOOT" idea! Be proud to be different!

Nice variation on the theme! I love seeing people mod their MINIs; they're like blank canvasses just beggin' for some art.

doesn't matter, you are missing the point. most of the thing on the cayanne is vw as vw makes most of them

even with your logics: so badge a vw with a porsche and what do you get? thats right! a posermobile
