I've recently began work sprucing up our 1985 mini to use as our wedding car in August. Generally she's pretty sound so with a paint job and some new brightwork she'll be spick and span.
I've been getting inspiration on what to do with her and I'm a big fan of the MK1 styling with the reverse rim steel wheels, hub caps, no arches and chrome trim.
I understand the non-reverse Cooper S rims will fit snuggly under the standard wings, but I'm not overly keen on the way the hub caps protrude from the rims - to my eyes the reverse rims look much better with the hub cap sat snuggly inside (however if you have photos that prove me wrong please do share!).
Does anyone know if there is a way to make this Reverse Rim / 7.5" Disc brakes / No arches combo work? Or am I going to have to suck it up and apply some arches and RUIN my wedding day ;)
Thanks
P.S. attached is her in her current state of undress, and the white beauty is my muse.
