Will I just tell you all the colour plan then?

Its not a colour that came standard on a mini so no reds, greens, blues ect there is going to be a bit of kawasaki green in there tho

The interior is going to be really in your face hopefully.

I cant find any wheels I like tho. And I refuse to give some company 300 odd quid to band steel ones!

Think they will be pretty steep price wise though.

Image ones will be, superlights come with studs to look like them now tho. Im looking for something different though.

Actually thinking about getting the conversion kit to run 10 x 10's, but would need to drop it on its ass with the arches.

ARRGGHHHHHHHH bloody minis!

Today I have mostly been getting high Bloody hell my arms kill!

Right first time painting so did the doors, bonnet and bootlid first to get used to the gun ect. Then onto interior and roof. Did no bad if i do say so myself. Not the best place to paint in the world but it does the job, had a slight incident with the roof so needs rubbed down slightly and another couple of coats. The colour isnt as bright in the pictures as it is in the flesh. Anyway todays graft...........

Two coats on roof..


Two coats on boot lid.....


Close up of my skills...


Gweeeeeeeen everywhere!!..

As soon as I saw the green I expected the rest to be black. Goes amazingly together!
