Is RAF Target on roof safe?

Does anybody know of any trouble arising from having an RAF style target decals (red/white/blue concentric circles) on the roof of a MINI?

Is it inadvisable to drive near airfields whilst one's MINI is sporting one of these?

Does anybody have pics to post of this or any other type of interesting roof graphic?

Should be fine, Minty's got one.

Look under the news section for a report from Mini in the Park. There's a pic of his roof in that article.

And a little weedkiller between the paving stones wouldn't go amiss :P

Seriously, I like the target

I also like chequers and the Union Jack. Although I'm English born, I prefer the looks of the UJ over St Andrews cross.

I've kept my Cooper free from graphics, but I'd considering roof graphics and bonnet stripes for the Cooper S I have on order. I hope that's not considered too tacky.

Any other ideas are welcome.

Just don't go for any Sunday drives in Iraq in the near future.
