I absolutely love your mini! 
That roof rack is beautiful!
It actually needs a bit of a refurb, chipped paint and rusty in places, but a sand down and a lick of paint will take it back to all it's former glory. If anybody knows a paint code which matches those roof racks, that would be a great help.
Liking that mate ! How have you done the doorcards man?!
Clean them and use meth spirits or something similar to degrease them. I then used spray adhesive and start sticking down strips out cut out of old beano and dandy comics then finally use clear lacquer. There's a thread on here about comic stripping if you search around for it. The problems I've got are that I sprayed the the front doorcards black with flexi vinyl paint previously and it seems to be showing through and parts of it are peeling off. The alternative to spray adhesive is PVA glue and you can use varnish instead of lacquer. I need to do them again really, too much of it is coming off. When I get round to it, I will be using PVA glue (spray adhesive was a mess and you can't get it all off washing your hands so you have dried glue on your hands for days) and using a couple of base layers of newspaper strips and then a few layers of comic strips, which should stop it peeling off and anything showing through. I'll probably use varnish to finish it off too, and see how it compares.
They do get a lot of comments at shows, as fair as I know, I'm the only person with comic strip doorcards, especially beano ones. The more observant people would notice that the one side of the car is beano, the other is dandy.
Where did you get the roof rack from?
Ebay, cost me £80. Just have to keep you're eye out for them, they go for around £150 new so you can pick up a bargain.
So don't scream at me because of horrible, rusty chrome bumpers, they'll be gone soon! You can shout out about the rusty doors though
