Pic Request Cooper swoop

Is the Cooper Flags swoop the same as the cooper silver swoop? If so, then no pics needed, but if its different, then pics please.

I want to see some MC swoops. The MCS looks cool, but I wonder if it looks different than the MC swoop?

Did you have to remove the window washers for this stripe, or are there holes?

They just pop out, very easy to remove.

I know you wanted a MC but here is my MCS for a (sort of) closer look.
CooperFlags - barely touchs the washerjets. I just popped them up and then down for a clean fit.

Matching black scoop coming soon.

has anyone got the boot swoop graphic from Asthetic Creations??? They have plaid on the website but I emailed them and they said you can get a solid color instead.

It seems like you have to take off your license plate and plate mounting bracket to install it.

Here's the MINI Silver Stripe on my MC. Notice the position of the washer nozzles by comparison.

I've never used this product, but I have installed their Boot Stripes and assume they're the same material... it's a bit more satin than glossy, which I actually prefer. So far, they're holding up wonderfully on the boot, and I've seen people with his bonnet stripes that are a few seasons old and still look like new. I'd email him (there's a link on his store page) and ask him if it's the same material. DIY installing is not too difficult - I made a thread in here about the boot stripes that went through it from layout to final squeegee - let me know if you need a link.

And removing either license plate bracket is simplicity- it's only held on with 2 Phillips screws and comes off in 30 seconds, no muss, no fuss. I actually recommend taking it off everty now and then, and cleaning behind it - after only 3 months of ownership, it was quite black behind there.
