HELLO ALL,
Just followed a link from the minispares.com forum, thought I'd join this one too, looks interesting. What can I say??? :erm: Right, I've got a mini project on the go, really breaking the bank at the moment, as I'm hoping to get it finished for March (ish). The thing's going for its paint next week (after soooo long). Then the real fun starts, all that garage space to rebuild the engine! Anyway, time to browse the topics on the forum.

I am going to have it painted silver, with a black roof, and I'm going to have the group 2 arches black too, I think it's a nice contrast. I decided, after seeing the Huddersfield Mini Spares mini (the amazing Holeshot racing Hyabusa turbo one) taht it really looks the part. Previously I was thinking of using white with a black roof, or red with a black roof. But finally I made me mind up on silver.

silver & black does sound good!!!

Mine is white with a few coats of pink pearl and a black roof, and also got a city that is red with black roof. there is a clubbie estate in the garage which is my other half's mid resto which hasnt been decided what colour its going to be yet.

You'll have to put the photo on after the respray!!

Hey, thought I'd say thanks for all the welcomes I've had! This sure seems like a friendly place, I LIKE IT! :grin:

Blackout, yeah, I actually was real close to going for the red, with black roof and arches and gold wheel centres. But (blush, blush) me girlfriend talked me out of it. Then when I saw the Hud MS mini it was deffo going to be silver. That thing is sooo cool, dribble dribble.
