Looks smart . Love the Vectra cup holder too. I've got a H-Reg Mayfair in red.

make my head lights look angry!  if i can find away how people have done it?.  

Don't most people use some black tape and angle it on the headlamps to give a mean look?

What a beast! lovely mini you got there  how did you fit them? or do they just rest under the light trim ?

had a productive weekend managed so sort my steering boss out so now my steering wheel sits straight and not to the right making it a lot better to drive. still want a new wheel though. Then adjusted the handbrake so it actually works. its lot harder when you have 2 massive seats in the way   !   

also put on a new sticker

Will use the Missile switch for my spot lights and not sure what to do with the other one yet ordered 2 

 

 

also been thinking about getting some carbon wrap and giving it a go don't want to go to mad with it on the mini just be good fun to  to learn and have a go at   

 

Still want a new steering wheel, wheels painted also want to re stance  the car so front spacers will have to go at some point been putting it off for a while  !  possible new arches or no arches going to need a long think over holiday  

 

Thanks for looking and merry Xmas to you!

Ace stuff pal! Looks ace. Thought of converting to 10's yet?

 

I still love the white and blue theme.

[tomb1992]

     Little update wired up one switch to my spot lights and fitted it by my fog light switch quite happy with it

Retro Dice are on too

            

       

 

got a tool box and some cleaning stuff for Xmas so treated the mini to a scrub   new wheel brush works wonders 

 

 

 

    

 

need a new front bumper and a few odd bits which i will get tomorrow. might take the opportunity to put some black arch trim on it to break up all the white.

Thanks Smiler!

i really was thinking off going on 10s but the last break down cost a bomb and had to have my Hubs and brakes Replaced  so 10 s are currently off the a gender at least for a bit  

Much appreciated just what a bit off the blue theme to extend to the out side off the car and not just the interior going to need a long think on what to do.

Update

 

Fitted a shiny new front bumper,took my arches off and added some rubber trim i had. Think it sets it off quite well and smartens it up at bit, thinking off doing a chrome or rubber lip but might be a bit much ?  

    

also i thought my debadged Bonnet looks a bit empty  so got a Austin badge to match the Grill ( Yeh its not a cooper but its a discrete badge and looks ace in my opinion  so will prob try and bond it to the bonnet when it arrives  hope i can position it right

Manged to fit the Austin badge. cut the legs off it and glued it with Araldite hardest part was positioning it in the right place. but happy how it turned out. like it ten times better than a debadged bonnet added a bit off class back 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Progress wont be much this week got as busy week as i got work and accounts exams  :mmkay:Yay! . but will hopefully have the Wheel studs and spacers removed in a few weeks and possibly have a mk1 boot lid and a new front valance ready  to be welded on.

 

Thanks for looking. 

[tomb1992]

Few updates today Finally changed the Front Studs and removed the 10cm Spacers prefer that all 4 wheels stick out the same even it its now slightly over arched. Minis handling was improved in bounds with out them!steering feels more direct and a lot lighter to steer. plus a lot less strain on suspension parts. back to the go-kart feel again

In other news brought a Old style racing wheel steering wheel out the blue. got now idea what make it is! so any ideas or info would be great help ? its going to need a a lot off work to make it look new again was thinking painting it gray,anthracite or just clean and polish it. but will hopefully look  more period than the chavy Monterey wheel

Love the spots! Oh and the rest of it   And I think you should polish the wheel
