Hi all,
I'm doing a smooth boot and when at MITP I saw minis with the same colour bonnet, boot and roof, with a different colour car. So I was wondering what people would think if I did my mini as a white bonnet, boot and roof on a black car. Then maybe white wheels or white arches with black wheels? And if anyone could photoshop my mini so I could see what it looked like with my ideas, or your, that would be awesome. All ideas welcome.

Personally i just think it'd look like your driving to the bodyshop to get the rest of the car sprayed everytime you go out.

I think the roof, mirrors and arches is about all that looks good in a different colour - Maybe the bonnet.

Yes, I think it would look like you'd fitted a replacement boot/bonnet and not got round to gettting it painted. But it's your car, if you like the look then go for it.

Yes I agree and it would make your Mini look as if you'd been down the scrap yard and used whatever parts were lying around to fix your car.

;D

That would be Bousfields mini. He trying to sell it. But he only had it white as he hadn't matched the colour yet!

So what do you think I should do then? There were originally white strips on the bonnet when I got it, but wasn't sure if I liked it or not.
