Roof/windowcap question

So the mini(2005 MCS) I plan on getting is indie blue with black bonnet stripes, a white top with white caps.

Is there any way I can get the top and caps black?? without making it look cheaply done of course.

You'll need to have the roof and spoiler painted professionally to make it look really good.

Switching mirror caps is easy, just order a set of black ones from your dealer.

A more inexpensive way to get a black roof would be to have a graphics company wrap it with black vinyl. It would look pretty good and it wouldn't be permanent. You'd probably want to track down a black spoiler too to make it all look right.

Yeah, I can get vinyl at my work with any design or color I want on it .

I sort of want it painted, but I guess I will try out the vinyl first... how would I do the spoiler and what design should I put on!?!?

So any dealer can order the mirrow cap? Does anyone know the price?

No Indy Blue in 2005. It was Hyper Blue.
