[1987_ParkLane]

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.

O, ok

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.

Matt black bonnet- Looked ok for about a week- then i came to my senses- it was really hard to keep clean and looked like i couldnt be arsed to spray my new panel (that was kind of the reason though

With a car as good as that, all I'd change is white mirrors.

White mirrors .. white bonnet stripes

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.

[Ro8bieg]

i say keep it as it is or maybe gunmetal grey bonnet, roof and bootlid?
