Hi guys,

 

I own a Rover Mini Cabriolet in Nightfire red and thought I'd share some photos from my first car show I attended. I spend the whole of Saturday detailing the car and I hope you agree that it paid off...

Very nice cab, lovely colour. Is that bodykit standard? Good job on the detailing, need to get mine done soon...

 

 

Edit: Love the plate too!

Thanks miniman24,

 

Yes, standard as the day she rolled out of Longbridge (except clear indicator lenses and fuel filler cap).

Thanks guys...

 

It's Nightfire Red.

 

I see on other sights that people blank out the number plate - I assume (and hope!) it makes it more tricky to track down.

It certainly won't hurt to protect your ID, so why take the risk? :thumbsup:  

 

Loving the colour coordinated dust caps!

Hi mk1leg, its a genuine 1993 Rover Mini with the rear wind-down windows.

 

js183379, yes it was clay bar'd, followed by Meguires Step 1 - Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner, Step 2 - Deep Crystal Polish and then their Ultimate Wax - all with a lot of elbow grease!

 

Ethel, great eye for detail - thanks!
