I went on that sticky fingers website and bought a sticker for around the switches on the dash but i recked it putting it on! They have some really cool stuff on there like the whole dash sticker i want one! Bet it looks awesome.

ive had this one in silver background only cost £7.50 from ruthless on here



but he can do it in this colour scheme also they have the bubble effect on them i will take a photo and post it soon


Those look cool i think the silver looks best where do you have that one then on the grille? I will have to see your pic to see what it looks like.

the grille should have a srectangular plate on it with an austin badge on it so i changed the austin to the silver ritz and on the black grille it sets it off even more

Yeah i bet it does! Mine doesn't have an austin badge on it.

is it all fixed now mate ? hope it did not cost to much

All the underside parts are fixed but the a-panel i bodged for the time being and it's being done in a few weeks! When it was at the garage they noticed the rear subframe was badly cracked so had to be replaced and ended up costing £708! I was gobsmacked never went back there!

WHAT we had a new rear subby £160 and all new workings and its only cost us about £400 in total sh*t the bed , was he wearing a mask lol

You would think so wouldn't you they didn't know anything about mini's or old cars so they did allsorts wrong. I did also have the front drive flange replaced lets just say i havn't gone back to them i now go to my friends garage why i didn't go there to start with i don't know! He has lots of experience with mini's so he finds it easy and he helps me a lot and he's cheap! :proud:
