Ace card roof sounds cool. But do you have a lucky number? Could be that number card in red or black? and any suit?

the ace of spades isnt very original, i think you need to think more outside the box,
like that new member who has elvis on the roof.

i quite like the idea of a 50's style pin up girl.

what about something a bit out of the norm, something a bit more abstract and unique ?

I'm not a fan of roof decals, but think that contrasting roof colours are definatley the way to go. A black mini with a white roof is hardly exclusive though, personaly I would go for a silver roof as that always looks good on a black mini and would compliment the chrome well. You could even go for a gold roof if you are feeling daring!

After rolling my mini last year, I knew matching the roof colour would be impossible (as it wasnt a standard colour) so I decided to do a carbon wrap on the roof. It looks cool and was way cheaper than getting a full roof respray. I do have a picture on facebook, will try and get it on here tonight, although you cant see how good the weave is in the photo.

Found the picture, the weave is not that easy to see as I only had a camera phone, one tip if you do want to go for it though is get a pro to do it for you. It took them a few hours to do mine
