Will the addition of a Union Jack vinyl wrap to my Jaguar X-Type devalue the car?

I have an X-Type Jaguar and have been quoted £1500 to have it vinyl wrapped with a Union flag. Do you think it will devalue the car? Is it a waste of money?

The great thing about vinyl wrap is that it can be easily removed, so you can return the car back to its original state when you come to sell it. Therefore, it won't devalue the car. The flipside is that you're unlikely to see any return on your £1500 outlay, unless you can find someone who's prepared to pay a premium for the Union flag wrap.
