Illustration Redesign

I have an image that I got from [login to view URL] that is almost exactly what I want. The first image is a watermarked version of the high-res original image. The second image is a watermarked version that is VERY close to the finished product that I want. I want the gray crinkle background removed, as well as the thick black vertical stripe. I want the smallest blue line on the outside to extend around the entire center piece, instead of stopping at the thick black line as it does now. If possible, I would also like to see how the image would look if the thin black line was silver-tinted instead. Please contact me if you have any questions.
