right...the others are too garish. I like the contrast of the right one. I'm a PW owner too. What do you plan on doing with this?

I like the right too. However, the other two would look better if you have more of the matching gold colors, i.e., gold wheels, mirrors, etc. Then I would like the middle one. A problem with the one on the right is that at a distance (or maybe even close up) you would not see the white as it would blend in with the PW car. So, all you would see is the black stripes, and I don't know how that would look -- i.e., it may not look specifically like cat/tiger fur. Possibly though. I really like the PW color, though, and the one on the right may look really cool somewhere on your MINI.

If I had to pick among the three (duh, that is the poll!), I'd say the lighter one, not the saturated color, and not the black-n-white.

hope that helps

White one on the right. Could look very cool as a sunroof cover. Sure bet it would be the only one out there.

My good eye says it is the one on the right.
OR is my right eye my good eye? Right.
The answer is still right.

Now if you have cordoba leather interior then you could choose the pattern on the left.
If you did a seat cover that matched then you could do the pattern on the left.

Are you building a MINI for use in Daktari 2- an african safari in an urban jungle?

My honest opinion would be, the one on the left. Why? Because if you're going to use this as a design for a sunroof, it may fade over time. You'll start out with the one on the left and as time goes by, the colors will fade and slowly will look like the one in the middle. Then sooner or later you will end up with all colors faded and will look like the one on the right.

Unless something like 303 Aerospace will hinder the colors from fading? Maybe someone can confirm this as I have only read about this product.

Good Luck,
Christoper

Eewww Minihune... that's a bit too much! But yes, I'll post a pic once I get the sunroof decal installed. Well, I have to get the MINI first, and then put the sunroof decal on. Awaiting Feb arrival. Very excited!
