Ive decided to start a thread on my mini, this mini is my pride and joy but the last year it's been in the wars with me constantly changing my mind.
Ive know made a decision that i want to have mk2 rear lights fitted with the outer surround painted black, im going to stick a standard boot back
on, im painting most of the chrome panther black and will be respraying parts if not all the body blue again, im takeing the arches of and getting some
more the same but not smoothing them in this time im just going to spray them panther black also, im going to cut the bonnet lip off and spray it blue
and going to make a meshed grill and spray that panther black too. Not sure how this is all gonna work out but it's worth a try.
So here's my mini how it stands know.
Note nasty smooth boot and petrol spillage marks

This was me wakeing up and thinking HMM Lets rip my mini apart and make it look worse

Loving your bonnet! Looking forward to seeing what those headlamp rings look like on, considered doing something similar a while back but never got round to trying it so be good to see what it would have looked like if I'd found the time.

Like the bonnet. Maybe planning something similar for the wife's mini (the blue one).
I think I'll go for circles cut out with mesh on one side and then the mini badge on the other.
(If you don't mind?!)
Is it a 'normal' Mini badge if you see what I mean?

The mini badge on the bonnet is seperate letters, cost me 1 pound per letter from nyanza car parts near me, im changing the bonnet to standard and
painting it the same colour as the rest. >_<
