just my opinion but flushed bootlids are soo "chavvy!" sorry lisa.

[panelbeaterpeter]

Ah those arches actually look really nice. I'd colour code them and put on the chrome strip.

Is that a no then? lol

I like smooth boot lids ... Normally! Some nasty looking minis have smooth boot lids but some sexy ones have them too

I think colour-coding the arches would be really difficult as the colour is a hard one to match (even spray cans of the actual colour aren't quite the same) and if it's a slightly different colour it will probably look pap

Roof also needs respraying at some point too, it has by far the worst paint on the car (all crazed and discoloured by bird poo), I think black roof & arches would give it a nice contrast ... no?

each to their own hon. its a personal thing really. the smooth look would go with a boody kitted mini really, not a standard mini. u know what i mean.

Black roof with black arches would look great!

[M44K TS]

i'm thinking white roof and white mirrors to go with the wheels and arches.

Looks loads better with the arches on though

Nah think that would be too much white. I think Lisas got it in one, black arches and roof. It will break up the wheels and bodywork.

Nice work Lisa

I used to have white wing mirrors & wheels but it just didn't quite look right. I think it's because it's a light colour, the contrast doesn't work.

I'm very tempted to do it now Shiny black arches and roof, yummy

[Pie]

do it lisa lol

Told you everything would work out

unkie pie

P&L mini's has quite a good online colour thingy:

thats a fun game, and make me think

and lisa

as this is about minty not that website
i think black would go good if the wheels went black to, but you have creamy white interior so creamy white mirrors and roof would look good in my opinion

but that just my opinion and its your minibeast

[Jack Jones]

nope no screws what so ever

im confused so how are they held on???

Cream overkill

I like the idea of breaking up the colours, from top to bottom it'll be:

Black (roof)
Cream (seats)
Green (body)
Black (arches)
Cream (wheels)

Bean did a Photoshop (page 23) or the car with black arches & roof, I think it looks quite good

Oh and the mirrors - as I said they have been white before and they looked rubbish Colour coded green much better

It was a long time ago and the car has changed alot since but I just don't think it works

[Jack Jones]

But they're illegal without arches, they stick out too much...



...Otherwise I would! They do look sexy but they're just not legal Group 2s fit them quite well, I don't think the arches will look too big

my mate has an estate
he has had 5.5inch wellers since before this years l2b
he hasnt been stopped and it looks wicked considering its been in grey primer for almost a year
but i dont know the piggys are like round your area so they might be a bit tighter


and WoW pink shoes

[minili]

I know people who have got away with it for ages too but I just don't fancy my chances! Don't want to risk it

And thanks for the shoes comment haha, good old Etnies have served me well but they're old now, demoted to manual work shoes

Got some sexy black Vans with pink laces now
