I've been having a play about with a few ideas, now that bluey isn't a daily driver i fancy lowering it a bit more (the arches are tubbed ready for it). I'm also trying to go for a more aggresive look, thinking of making a different bonnet too getting rid of the scoop and raising the rear instead but in a different way to what everyone else does.

I've lowered it, tinted the windows slightly (it will only be very slight), fitted the 3 holes to the bonnet and tilted the reg plate (with the intention of it bieng tucked right under the bumper).

Here's a couple of before and after pics anyway

What do you think.

I think the tint looks very good but i am pretty sure you are not allowed more than a 30% tint on any of the front windows. although i could be wrong.

window tints

front windsreens a big no no

front side windows must allow 75% of light 2 pass through

rear side and rear screen can be as dark as u like

so u were not far off.

nice effort
try tilltig the number plate the other way, will hide it more

75% of light must go through the front side windows, rear side doesnt matter

erm its 70% peeps as we got pulled in the pug today......

[1984mini25]

Well that’s what I’ve gone by 75%

5% on the safe side then

I love the lowered look and the bonnet is cool! What are your plans for raising the bonnet then?

How sweet! :grin:

i think you can download small free versions... ask around and someone might be able to lend you a copy?

(actually that is a awesome effort if you're only using paint! looks good! )

Cheers. It took me the best part of a couple of hours to do it on paint. Its colouring it in that take the time :grin: Can you buy the disks from Pc World etc then?

[minimole]

thats the most impressive paint i have ever seen :cool:

[Oldskoolbaby]

Lol :grin: It ent finished yet. Ive got to finish the wheels, grill & interior. The only problem being that it takes ages to do. I was never really interested in maths, english or science at school. Instead I used to doodle minis. I even failed the whole of my A level art (predicted A) cause I drew nothing but minis and engines in class :grin:

Does anyone know how much photoshop costs? Ive got a genuine Autocad cd and it cost me loads.

erm its 70% peeps as we got pulled in the pug today......

[Oldskoolbaby]
