Fender decal

Hey guys, after doing my two tone side scuttle i wanted a fender decal beneath it. i decided to go with the John Cooper signature. Looks pretty good, but since purchasing, i have been eyeing the black union jack outline decal for the fender. Let me know what you guys think. Cheers!

I like things subtle, so for me I really like just that.

If anything maybe instead of an entire A-Pillar decal, just an A-Pillar cap.

But for me, I would leave it alone.

Off topic here, but something just caught my attention Lemon.
I noticed your other posts last week about cheap easy cosmetic mods.
My question is: Did you spring the $1,500 to get your plastic trim painted body colour, or do you have a cheaper easier way of doing so?

It's all painted. I was actually lucky because the previous owner was a custom auto body worker so he did it all himself, and very well at that. Unfortunately, I don't thnk theres an alternative, but the extra $$ is definitely worth it. Good luck!

If you're handy with the car, you should be able to get it done for less, remove all the trim yourself, (not really that hard, just be prepaired to buy some of the clips again) and take them to someone, my understanding is that with a good sandable primer they won't have to be smoothed first.

Back to Lemon's thread.

I like it. I plan to put one of those on each of my quarter panels, low, just behind the doors when I get my JCW Coupe.

I like whatcha got! Looks freshhh! I've been thinking about covering my A-Panel with the 3M Carbon Fiber...but at the same time I don't wanna look to "ricer" OEM with minor changes FTW!

@CR&PW&JB, i like the quarter panel idea, seems like a good spot to put it . and @GumbyLara, i was thinging of covering the A-panel with matte black vinyl, but i was afraid that i wasnt gonna like it...and if i went through all the work to remove and cover the panel, i'd be pissed of i didnt like it . my next idea is to order this trim package and plasti dip it black. hopefully it comes out good!
