What's the best Union Jack to get?

Hi,

I know there are loads of different companies who make the vinyl union jack roof coverings for the Mini Cooper. There is a massive range of prices and being a firm believer that you get what you pay for - should I just go for the Mini one or can i get an equivalent or maybe better one elsewhere for less?

Thanks for any advice you can offer. I want to purchase ASAP!

James

my friend works for a auto graphics shop in Salt Lake City, Utah and has installed perforated vinyl over sunroofs, it looks like a solid piece from the outside but is clear from the inside. this is similar to the stuff you see on the sides of busses.

if you want a cool idea for a flag, see austin powers' fathers spy mini in the movie "Goldmember"

install and flag on a mini will cost about the same as just the flag from a dealer with no install.

Have a look at www.autowrap.co.uk they do all sorts of graphics including perforated film for the sunroof. You will need to phone them, as they don't have the Mini graphics on the page.
You can either have a digitally printed roof, with the perf film for the sunroof, or go for a cut vinyl graphic which will give you a solid colour rather than a printed one.
It is horses for courses, check my roof out..

If you got a Silver or DS car with black top the best type of Jack would be a silver or dark silver mix, eg different shades of similar coulours. Saw it on a DS MCS the other day, it look real nice, wasn't in your face, just a nice subtle sophisticated look.

Humm.. let me see on Friday we shipped to Japan, Norway, Hong Kong, Australia and the UK. We ship international almost on a daily basis. UK shipping is normally 7-9 business days and runs $35.00 US. Asia packages take about the same amount of time and run $45.00 US.
