It's come up a lot, but Fiat's "Broom Yellow" (used on pretty much all Fiat's) is a stunning colour. Really head-turning. Obviously photos on-screen won't show the real colour at all, but here's one for you anyway! It's on a Fiat Coupé:

There is a company that sells the brackets and hydraulic lifting rams in a kit for around £130 I think.... I can't remember what they're called now, but will ask Sy for you I'm sure he'll know! (I think that pic is from their website originally, the more famous one is of an OEW mini)

Sy saw their site after doing the whole thing from scratch himself.... Although Momo's flip front is electronically opened by the touch of a button with hydraulic rams, and it opens frontwards....!! :w00t:

Ok I found the site... It's neither of those places, but a company based in the US. The kits start at $125 (slightly different to my first recolection...) hehe

This is a link to their website.... As far as I know there isn't a UK company making anything similar.... yet!

MiniTec

Hope that helps a bit minipip..... :w00t:

I brought an 850 about 9 years ago which was Bogey yellow with a blackboard paint black bonnet complete with brush stroke marks.... i took the bumper seem off the front, hammered the rear seam flat and filled the rear valance level with the boot panel and painted it chinkwechchchento lello. i had planned to do a complete de seem job but decided against it do to the time involved so painted all seam covers, spats, caps and anything which would come off when pulled in ford purple velvet (a la cadbury dairy milk) and put two purple viper stripes over the whole thing... it looked wicked, and my next door neighbors garage which i comendeered as a paint shop still has yellow windows... doors... floors.... ceilings...... erm ,,, all of it is yellow now... except for a few purple outlines on the floor. I didn't take any photo's of it so the garage stands as my only record. The lad i sold it to crashed it within 2 weeks and wrote it off.
