Well its been a while since august, have been getting some quotes for sorting the bonnet out and the front end going fron £180-600 all in not too bad but she ill have to wait.
In the meantime ive bought a halfords can of mixed paint - so going to do a tester to see if that works out ok first. Hopefully the blue bonnet will be gone by Malvern.

Have bought some grp 6 wheel arches for maddame so there going to be fitted next week at some point.
Also at Stanford last weekend I bought some new interior bits - Headrests and New carpet (again, due to the poor quality of the Mini Sport one).

Tonight i've fitted the headrests and put the rear shelf carpet back - going to mount the speakers underneath to keep it clean and hidden

photos: (from fb at the mo need to link to photobucket later in week)

Tip top matey!

Thanks - Going to take some decent photos of it all finished at the weekend so I can upload them to photobucket

Wow those headrests look cool.

Also on a side note. If you go on your facebook go on the pic you want to put on here. Right click and then click copy image address.

Then put that code between the IMG brackets on here like a photobucket pic then the pic shows up in the topic.

I hope I described that all right lol.

Have now got new tyres on the steelies so there going back on for a bit untill ive decided on the wheel arches, as the standard ones keep splitting and are of no use.
Have also bought some new bits and bobs to keep her miss on the road through winter alsong with a in car booster pack thing from halfords saved 30 % so thought why not

Don't try and fool me. You took that photo of the car under the cover before you did all those jobs. How do I know that I hear you ask. Because you can see the alloy wheel poking under the cover.
