Cover the dash in vinyl lazy person will look so much better.....and stop making poor excuses about everything..you could paint your arches in your own flat where no-one complains about the mess

[minili]

I would complain about the mess... And the smell

What poor excuses? If you have nothing constructive to say.....!

I didn't think forgetting primer was a poor excuse, more an oversight I went back to Motor Spares but they were shut

[yorkshirechris]

What colour are you doing the arches?

A silk green dash and silk green arches would look great if you can get that colour

[minili]

I am colour-coding the arches

Well supposedly... The can is the right colour code, whether it actually matches is another matter

[minili]

Well after a disastrous start to the day I am at home...

I didn't want to skulk about here so went to my parents' house and have sanded (again) and primed (properly) the dash, and cleaned & primed the arches.

Woo! The sweet smell of progress

[Mini_Magic]

It's always nice to take your mind off something bad and make some progress.

Can't wait to see it when it's done!

Photos!

Good to hear you're getting on nicely

[minili]

I did take a couple of pics, although not of anything relevant (just took pics of the mini with the arches off, ooh it does look nice!) but my phone doesn't connect to my computer, so I have to bluetooth them to my old phone and connect that to the computer

By which time I may well have got myself organised and taken my camera over there

Probably won't touch it again tilthe weekend now, dark nights n all

[Mini_Magic]

So they won't be finished for Sunday then?

[minili]

They will be on the car (illegal without them)... But they might be grey, or green without lacquer

[samwell]

(illegal without them)

your such a meldramatist. No one would touch you for it and minis look so good underarched rather than overarched
also, I'm assuming you had a day off work today or why else wopuld you be mincing around on tmf at 1pm? wish i could take a day off to work on the car.

Sam

[Mini_Magic]

She's got a point Sam, while the old bill might not pull you over for not having arches it is still illegal. Not worth the risk to be honest.

Probably best not to have a go at her for not being at work today!
