I think you should do it personally, I love your car and how unique it is to the mini scene.

Two pieces of advice here mate:

1. Make sure it's tight. (Cue jokes). Otherwise it flaps about a lot (Cue more jokes).
2. Try a Horse Saddle repairer. They have ALL the equipment and will do it without realising its a 'cool' mod and the associated price.

i dont think with the position of a clubman bonnet, stone chips are something which need to be worried about.


Yea I agree. But like I said. Stone chips isnt the reason I want one. I just think it will go well with the look of the car.

Thank you!

Good call on the horse saddler. My Neigh-bor has a few horses (see what I did their) so I'll have a word with her and see if she knows anyone that might be able to help.

Yea their meant to stop stone chips. I don't really want one for that reason though. I just want some as it will be something a bit different and it will go with the VWish look I'v given my car


Why don't you just airbrush an actual bra on it? I've seen it on a bini but that don't really count on a mini does it :cry:

I hope not lol. The reason I want to do it as its something different and not really seen on minis.

Just had a word with my neighbor. She said that she may be able to make something. She also said she thinks she has some black leather in her garage. I'm now gonna try and get hold of one off another car to show her roughly what it needs to be like and hopefully she will be able to make something to suit!
