I doubt it but if you don't ask you don't get!!
I think JakeBlues has strong links with them. Maybe worth a PM to him? It could be good forum feeling for them to supply basic dimensions for you to make some.

Some piccies I took before the show, there and the superb bit of parking by Mr Range Rover outside Somerfields (you'll see.....)
Bro's Mini (notice the jack, Hi-Lo fell out before we even left! Lol!)



The Limo

Lol

The amazing parking, see what I mean! We couldn't believe our eyes when he got out and locked the doors to go off into Somerfields!


Was so disappointed when they took the number plates off to reveal the real car



TMF closing down

Semi-skimmed (I love this car!)

Mint Van


The van turbo thing! Was amazing!

Just about to leave, fitted with new angel eyes!

The angel eyes in the dark

And all the pressies I came back with!


All in all, was a great day, a bit on the expensive side because everything I saw I wanted to buy Lol!

Ha Ha i saw you fitting the angel eyes

[gibba]

Top notch bit of parking that! Howmuh were the angel eyes at the show?

[mini-man-dan]

That would've been the brother! Lol! He couldn't wait 'till we got home, he had to do them there

Oh, and the angel eyes were £35 for the pair + £2 for bulbs! And they are actually good! Unlike the lights that were on it which were like candles!

Nope, I can confirm they are "show plates".

Reason how I know, the chap that built them, lives up the road from me

did an extra 150mile detour on the way back because i got lost, took an extra 3 hours bullhooks i say bullhooks, i was not impressed next time buy a sat nav rather then take a brown_mini (phil) to watch the map

Jack:

And was selling a buggy made from 2 front stubbys a bit of tubing and a auto mini a-series in the back?

If so that was probably THE STIG, who is on hear occasionally.

[cradley-heathen]

Was a nice day, loved the Italian Job minis and the mini limo! Shame entry wasnt free *cough* . Saw the Tmf stand, it all looked smart with the banner and gazebo thing....but far too shy to say hello. I really liked shiftyseamus's Poo! And I recognised that nice cream mpi mini from the mini mag buyers guide (with a little help from a well placed magazine might I add!).

Heres a few of my pics from the day, sorry about the out of focusness, I tried!.....

thats my dads 73 and dont worry that door is coming off for paint this weekend! and just behind it is my red thrasher, which isnt as rubbish as it looks lol. notice our matching wheels, both sets are actually mine, but the ones on his are on loan lol, if i had a pound for every time someone asked me about them, must have been about ten people just when we sat down for our dinner!

We all fell for it, and then as everyone was leaving they took the plates off We actually thought they were the real things!

Yup, I was in the passenger seat, it's bro's car you see! He's putting a grill on it . I don't want him too, it looks different without the grill, looks quite mean I think and I made up a plastic guard for the dizzy, so no troubles there. I think I might start a post up and see how many votes I can get for him to leave it as is, then show him! Might work!
And yes, it is low, very low! Bouncy too lol!

Good idea about the voting, i put a thread up recently asking about wheel colours, i was amazed how many people posted, always good to have a non biased oppinion, i say no grill, just seems to suit it
