Very Nice :approve::approve:

make up your mind on what strip yet?

OBN

Nope not yet, spoke to Dan at Menzies today, think I'll go for black, but then again maybe silver, or is it possible to fit the Saltire on the roof with a sunroof, cause then I'd go for white on the bonnet.

Too much choice!

I think it looks great just as it is. I really like hyper blue with a hyper blue roof.
Think I am going to get all one colour for my next mini.

Too many minutes!!!

Hopefully picking it up on Tuesday if not will need to be Sun/Mon next week.

I do like that Saltire on the sunroof, wondering though what it looks like from the inside out.

Yo!

Car looks very nice OBN!

Saltire on the sun roof does look good, but then I'm biased.:D If you do want to get the sun roof done, speak to Carlo at Solar Glass Technologies. He did a cracking job of ours.:D:D

Thanks to Angus for posting the piccie of our roof. Been snowed under at work the past few days and didn't even see this post coming in.

Perfect plate for someone that lives in Oban and drives an M3.

Was supposed to be M30 BN, but got fed up getting pulled for dodgy spacing

PACMAN

Well it was chucking it down, and it was my boss at the time offered me a lift home.

Used to work with a total MILF, but had to refuse a lift home because she was driving a Skoda Coupe, in baby blue with a black vinyl roof.

plus her hubby was a bit of a bear

It certainly darkens it a bit, because there's obviously less light coming in. The way Carlo did ours was he covered the sun roof in white, then applied the blue triangles. So where it's blue, from the inside, it almost looks black. Still looks good though, even from the inside.:D

Sounds like an option,if its not too round roughly how much was it?
