Not a huge amount of work needed...I've not used it for a year. It needs a cambelt and is tatty. Shame to see it sat on the drive to be honest....

I have thought the same. Still not sure though. May make a quick one from cardboard and stick it on. xD

Yeah good call - although they're not very expensive to buy from ebay - might just buy one and try it....

I think there was a chrome wrapped Lambo at the Autosport show the other week - didnt really look at it as I whizzed past to see the old 70s and 80s motors at the back! But a silver wrapped mini would be subject for debate on here!!!

Isn't decoupage the old fashioned word for sticker-bombing? ;)

It's a nice catelogue shame it doesn't have prices in it, however it had temped me but I resisted

I guess by not adding prices means they don't need to reprint when their prices change. Well done for resisting!

That is probably the case and thanks, however it's because I'm going to be spending loads at mini fair :(

I could have done with that! Just done mine - well fitted one to my mini as it didnt have one and after all the trouble of tarting it up and fitting it etc, the heater matrix split and leaked under pressure - all out, new matrix, seal it all back up and Bob's yer Aunty!

....and my campervan's chassis that took me 3 months to bare metal, rust proof, zinc primer and spray 6 coats of chassis black.... Perfect mirror finish that only me and the MOT man will ever see ;-)

Haha..love it! So what's the best technique then? Wipers on then pump or other way round? (I'm new to this technology!) ;)

The best way is to tackle it as a multi person effort - if a theres a passenger, get them to switch the wipers on while you pump :D Or if alone, get to just the right speed to hold the water on the windscreen and then wipe ;)

Either way it's a faff...best comment from the missus recently "You seem to be a lot busier behind the wheel when you're driving this car" My daily is a 528i Touring. Made me laugh...
