I genuinely love matt black on Minis and just been writing some ideas down and I am defiantly debumpering my next mini so quite ironic really and of course fogs and 1380cc's get the thumbs up here are mine. The red ones up for sale now and the blue one is a little more complete since these pictures were taken.
