I tend to like solid colors. Is keeping it Pepper White an option?

I would say since the pepper white is more of an off white to do the BlackJack.

With your black roof I think the Black Jack would look great. If you go that route, matching or black mirror covers would look good also. Where are you planning to get the side graphics from?

If you must I'd say Black-Jack. I think it will integrate with your car better.

I like the Black Jack, If it were blue or a shade of blue then traditional UJ. Good luck .

I've installed this graphic many times on every model of MINI. I would stay away from getting to close to the door handle and make the center cross lean more to the rear of the car so that the stripe that goes forward uses up more door space.

Let the white of the car be the white of the flag. White on pepper white make your car look dirty.
