I like it to.

Is that a sticker over the normal covering, or how has it been done?

[Pedant mode]It looks as though the white diagonal stripes of the cross of St Andrew are all the same width. [/Pedant mode]

Just as well they are - most people get them the wrong way round anyway!

Must say it does look good though.

Pic of the roof split, if it helps.

There isn't a covering on Ians roof, he just painted the fibrglass, so a sticker would be easy to fit.

I've just found this thread while looking for something else. God knows how I missed it.

Anyway, to confirm what has already been said, well sort of, it is indeed a split roof and painted. It is painted satin effect Blue to match the car roof and the White and Red of the Union Flag (aka, The Union Jack) [pedant mode off] is made up of a number of stickers. The biggest being the white cross then the red stickers over the top of that.

It is the correct way up as you are sitting in the car with it overhead [pedant mode again, sorry]

I did it for a bit of fun for Le Mans last year, but I'm thinking of having it repainted professionally then putting a clear wrap over the top of the paint because it scratches easily when it kicks around in the boot.

The sticker was a complete bd of a job to fit, even though I'd class myself as reasonably experienced with stickers after stickering the car for Le Mans for the last 3 years.
