Are there any engine conversions that dont need a flip front (roundnose)

-
The Matt
Yep! I did a C16XE (corsa GSI) conversion on mine and it still had inner wings and a standard steel front. You can fit the 8v one in even easier and the Micra ones fit in too

I was just generally asking as most of the ones i see have the flip or they swap for a clubman front and its a possibility for future but will probably stay with a series

Does anyone know where I can get black exterior trim stuff from? (Guttering, light surrounds, bumpers, basically everything chrome I want black!) :)

-
dood
you can get black guttering anywhere, like minispares or eBay, as most mini's had black guttering as standard rather than chrome. My mini has mostly black trim, like door handles, wipers, mirrors etc, so you will be able to get those anywhere too, perhaps even cheaper here on the mini forum? :)
Not sure where you'd find black headlight rings though, if you want them to be shiny like chrome you can actually get black chrome these days, I've seen it done with motorbike exhausts...

Headlamp rings can be keyed up and an etch primer applied, Then you can spray them any colour you want. I did it on the chrome grille on my old 190E
The rear light frames are plastic but can still be flatted back and a plastic primer applied and then painted in the same way. Basically key up-prime-paint just etch prime for metal and plastic prime for plastic. Simples

I'm depressed reading about our non-stop killing of just about every animal that moves on this planet. I need to do more than just donate to animal charities every month. What to do ...

Do you eat meat?
Jul 15 2014 07:45 PM -
Miniminx71
Yes I do. But I make sure it's responsibly farmed. Not sure it's relevant. I'm concerned about the poaching of elephants/sharks/tigers/rhinos/gorillas/crocodiles/leopards etc to the edge of extinction just to make pretty ornaments, wacky far-east "medicines" and clothing. Elephants especially.
