Flag idea

Merry Christmas everyone!

So as I am sitting around doing just about nothing after the morning excitement wore off, I decided to put together an idea I have had for a while.

When I bought my Mini it had a dealer installed American flag that is now starting to split at the points of all the stars and will soon have to go.

I thought about what to replace it with and although I like the iconic Union Jack, I wanted to put a different spin on it. What do you think?

Doesn't do anything for me. Hope the feedback doesn't dampen your holiday spirits!

I actually do like that. Has a very British punk feel to it which I'm into. Are you gonna get custom vinyl?

No worries Deli, to each their own. I am going to do custom vinyl, I have a neighbor in the sign business that owes me some favors.

I always felt like a regular Union Jack just wasn't the same on a new Mini. German designed and financed and assembled in England with parts made around the globe.

Cool, I like the theme played out here too.
