All this talk about stripes got me thinking ,does anybody else think that a blue ST with a union flag on the roof would look cool or pants,I say blue cos I,ve got one but white would look pretty good too imo.

no i reckon it'd look crap!

I think only the Mini can get away with things like this due to its history and also the rounded shape of the roof. It wouldn't suit the due to its flowing lines.

Anybody fancy a go on Photoshop? I can send in a picture of mine with visible roof.

Mmm, not sure it would work. I think only the mini gets away with that, purely because it is a really british car.

yeah go on then i have nothing to do but i'm only showing the results if it comes out ok, you got a pic of your car then?

Well, that took me absolutely ages

You may well recognise the original image, yes sorry chris i did steal it from you, seemed the easiest shot to draw the flag on



The original image to compare with


I reckon it looks ok but i would say that, it took me flippin ages to draw i think it would look pretty rubbish in real life to be honest.

Oh and photoshop! *pah* windows paint all the way

Bit late nick sorry but the pics look great all the same, the really looks great in white!

Yup, your post went up while I was uploading my pics. Nice job on Chris's striped car though.

I agree with you on the looks. Union Jack is great on a Mini bet let's stick to stripes on the ST.

It looks rather odd.
Chris you did that in MS Paint?!?!? - you have WAYYYYYYYYYY too much time on your hands.

just found this on autotrader 3rd 1 down

Wow that really does look awful i'm suprised they dont even mention about the roof in the aid, or even have a proper pic, but then again if tha was my car i was selling i prob wouldn't mention it either

And seen as i spent so much time looking at the union jack, they have the spacing all wrong on their flag mine of course matches perfectly
