Those interior pics are absolutely gorgeous, I imagine the price would be high too to reflect the quality. Good to see people are still taking chances with businesses in these times of economic implosion.

those full moons look amaizing.

I remember having a look round your mini at last years Gaydon :P

I think producing these window peaks would be a good product

If i let my imagination go wild i'd say carbon fibre panel's all round infact the whole shell ;) :P

Or i could be simple and say a dash like the one on yours but for an automatic and how about an automatic gear knob :( no one anywhere does these...................

Love your work adam, the mag feature had me drooling! Those rear quarter cards are very similar to what I had in mind for my girlfriends mini.
The best thing I thought about that mini though were the tail lights! So original and they really really suit the back end with the deseaming and the kit.
Anyway, maybe you should consider doing a range of cheapish covers for under the dash, by where your legs go passenger side, to hide all the heater pipes and generally tidy the area up. Best to design them to match the usual flat mini dashboards though, so as to suit most peoples needs.

Yes I like that idea, I think that could be made into a very retro product? Please keep your ideas coming!

My dash will work with an auto gearbox, not a problem. I simply make a different style of centre consol panel to fit into the dash, these parts can also be customised to whatever you want - ipod docking station, sat nav, hidden screens, anyhting is possible.
thanks for you input, please keep them coming!

Hi, thanks for your kind words, the lights are from my local scrap yard off an old BMW 2002 , I like the idea of doing it with these lights as at the time BMW had just brought out there version of the mini and I htought it would annoy the purists! Sorry but I loved them too, made the car for me!


cheers
