just get a set of spare lenses and swap them round for the MOT  :shifty: ... i know its naughty, but to be honest the light shows through well and the reflectors light up fine

just a tiny update sice its been a while. i recently turned 21 so i got a nice wad of birthday money to put into the mini  :D. im on the hunt for a new head and i think ive found the perfect one. a member on here is selling a skimmed 12g295 and i think i got in there first lol. ive also bought a few other little things like spacers and wind deflectors....

 

... oh, and also this....

im going to pick it up on wednesday. pretty chuffed  :proud:

 

now im back from uni for a while i want to try and get a few things done, including repairing the cracking on my front arch.... also, does anyone know of any decent mini-friendly rolling road places around essex? 

 

and just so this isnt a picture-less update, here are a couple of photos my mate took with his flashy camera

ok peeplezzz, bout time i posted an update...

 

managed to leave my camera card reader at uni so when ive got another one ill stick some long overdue picks of my 295 head and roll cage up. im planning on taking the head to get the valves put in, but ive been told that it might need a bit more work on it so this could get expensive  >_<

 

anyhooo. im back from uni for about 6 months now (got myself a placement), so hopefully i can start making a bit more progress, bought some window tinting vinyl today so lets see how much i can balls that up when it arrives. ive also been playing around on photoshop to see what i want to do with my sprite steelies once theyve been banded...

 

heres some variations ive come up with that i quite like

 

1. just sprayed plain silver

2. plain black

miniideas2_zps62032778.jpg

 

3. thin silver rim, probably painted

miniideas3_zps0b7cc0f1.jpg

 

4. with stainless wheel embellishers added

miniideas4_zps16c66ba6.jpg

 

5. with austin healy chrome hub caps

miniideas5_zpsd3707834.jpg

 

6. embellishers and hub caps

miniideas6_zpsc4f95564.jpg

 

7. same as above but in red

miniideas7_zpsb2cb998e.jpg

 

8. and with the caps removed

miniideas8_zps4ac25e47.jpg

 

 

 

personally im liking number 4 the most, but would be interesting to know what you guys think?

 

over and out, will hopefully have a proper update next time
