Well, we've finally got our hardtop done, and the end result won't please everyone, but we like it.
Our NB is silver, and my wife has black and purple signwriting on he doors advertising her Lactation Consultancy and Childbirth Education business (lets us park on loading zones without getting tickets!!!!). We decided to get a purple wrap to pickup the purple in the signwriting, and also as a contrast to the silver (other option would have been black). The purple has a bit of a faint pattern in it, which looks quite good up close, but you won't notice it otherwise. Wrap was done by Launceston Designs & Print / Tamar Signs - this was the mid price quote we got, but the guy who did it guarantees his work, and he is the brother of a friend from our MG Car Club days
Here's some photos of the final product. Still have to put a rear demister in (it's an early NA hartdtop). Opinions will be mixed, but what do you think?

Hardtop was a reasonable buy at $750, $450 for wrap.
These things don't come up for sale very often in Tassie, so I jumped quickly when one came up. Probably still cheaper overall than getting one freighted over from the big island

Lactation consultancy? Bugger me, I thought it was something where you could just suck it and see.

Re: Hardtop Wrap
my wife was an independant midwife here in NZ. (Midwives are much more autonomous and qualified here in NZ than AUS) and had our mx5 as her work car...the mums always laughed but she called it her rapid response vehicle!
