Hi I have seen some black vinyl roof covers and bullet wind mirrors, which might look good on my mini. Or leave it as it is?

Very 1970's. 

Many of us remember the cars we had with vinyl roofs. I had a 1975 Cortina 2000E, a 1976 Granada 3.0 Ghia Coupe and a 1978 Jaguar XJ6 Coupe, all of which had vinyl roofs as standard.

There were some nice Minis with vinyl back then.

yes, they look very 'period' and retro if done well.

The vinyl roof on my Contessa! will be fitted next week its being made at the moment in 

Biege Everflex, used to refit these back in the days when quite a lot  of cars, had them

fitted as standard as Cooperman ! says, but I am getting a trimmer to do this one as it

goes down the A,B and C posts photos will be on my rebuild thread next week (hopefully)
