 Well its not new but after a visit to MINI Pirate it looks like a new MINI again.

Here are some before and after pics. Phil did a great job on a cold Sunday morning and Jenn is really pleased with the finished look.

I did suggest mirror covers but Jenn doesn't want to go over the top with Union Jack graphics.

 How about some black or white mirror covers, just to give it some balance

 Its probably a bit of vinyl covering the badge, I did a similar thing with my old centre wheel caps by covering with checkered vinyl.

hey John you should've posted the pic of it before we removed the original decal that Dick Lovett Mini (bristol) put on that I was not happy with....it did not go to the edge of the roof, hence I had it removed and done properly.
Thanks John for your help and for accompanying me - I would've fallen asleep on the way back, I was sooooo jet-lagged!!

 I was thinking about fitting the graphics myself, but due to the size of the roof graphic, it was much safer to have Phil fit it in the workshop. And when I watched him do it I'm really glad I didn't as he had to mask of areas to make sure it was all straight and then trim around the roof as well. Was not an easy job!

Also, Jenn's bonnet stripes are unique as Phil hadn't made any before for the R56 MINI. So we got to see him make up the graphics on the computer and then the process of printing them and cutting. Was very interesting to see.

I wouldn't have let anyone fit the roof unless they had done one before....John, you struggled with the old bonnet stripes we were gonna fit as it was! LOL. Oh well, the ones the Mini Pirate did were the right size and had the black border like I wanted...

Thanks everyone for your comments. I am really happy with it and the union jack badges (yes they are just the vinyl decals) really make it unique.

 Very nice Jen - I agree with Tracie - go for some coloured wing mirror covers - black would look good - then get the alloys sprayed black to match!
