Right well I want to know what you all think. I seem to get complements on the look of my car which is odd as its a bit of the shed. Everyone tells me they like the white bonnet. Its only white as its fiber glass and I never bother painting it. I was gonna wait until I got it all done in one go. Anyway everyone keeps telling me to leave it white. Even my mum who don't like my mini lol. I'm not to sure my self as I think it looks unfinished. But what do you think. If enouth people tell me to leave it I may be convinced. Heres some pics so you can chose for yourself.

When it was all red???
Looks Orange to me.
leave it white, suits it and it is something a little bit different.

leave it white but maybe give it a coat of white paint rather than leaving it in the gelcoat. then polish the rest of the car and it'll all be nice and shiny!

Leave it white!
It makes you easier to spot and avoid on the roads!
But the look of the car is unique, its become "your" theme if you know what I mean?

Theirs no rush. I'v still not got the gear box off the other engine yet. Plus the car still needs to be painted before the engine goes back in.
Looks Orange to me.
HAHA dont you start. I get this enough from the people of my local mini club. Its Cinnabar red. On all the paper work I have the cars down as red so despite the colour being orange it is in fact red lol.

Urrm yea I think so. That was the one with the building on top of that hill was it not. Did my clutch a world of good lol.
