Looks absolutely class mate, if mine turns out to be half of yours i would be over the moon, loving the custom bits, especially the exhaust's.

is it legal to have the Black and silver plate on the rear? i thought it was pre 1970 something cars only?

Wow! This would never suit my mini but it looks pretty sweet in yours!
Much prefer it to a big plastic dash-it still looks retro.
