Hi,

I am a big fan of Coop's artwork and would love to have one of his pieces as a roof decal. Since, this is copyrighted material I am sure I will have to get perission somehow inorder to have it printed as a vinyl graphic. Aside from that I was wondering which image some of you think would look nice.

(This one is nice since it has the checkered flags, and the sexy devil chick is a nice addition too)

(devil chick again)

(my favorite and the one I am considering the most)

.. I've always liked the wrench-devil - but you are right: it would have to be sideways to fit right. The devil-chick looks great - those are very nice checkered flags ...

there are several birds-eye-view roof designs in the Galleries .. i think i even saw a red car under one of them .....

Oh I was just being silly since not to many people replied to my idea. So I assumed it was that they didn't like the style of Coop or maybe people think is doesn't work as a roof decal. Anyhoo I like it and want to do something different apart from all the flag decals which don't appeal to me much.
*no offense to flag decals I just want something different*

My vote is for the wrench devil, just turn it length-wise.

I am all about non-flags on the roof. Do something different!
I am not sold on the images you chose, but it's your car.
It looks like a big tatoo on the roof.
But why be plain?

But if you need someone to print it for you, let me know.
I will hook you up!

Decisions! Decisions! :smile: Or you could maybe bring an idea to someone (or even a tattoo artist if that's the style you are after) and have them come up with something.

Just an idea....

>> :smile: I was considering doing one of my own ideas but my work is more on the classical figurative style so I am not for sure how that would look on a MINI. I am stumped at this point :???: The tattoo artist idea is cool, but then again I might as well do it myself..
Thanks for your help!

I have always liked his work. A lot of it appears on shirts in Hot Topic stores. However I would LOVE to have a Mark Ryden painting on my roof...

Coop and Olivia will not allow this. If they do, you will have to pay for it. Basically, they will want to charge you their licensing fee.... I've asked.

Good Luck Anyhow!
