Looks really great! There’s something very special about having a car fully painted professionally and seeing it fresh in the booth. Enjoy! You’re in the home stretch now!

Looking lovely! My 2nd mini was an R plate Tahiti Cooper. Fond memories.

 

Were you not tempted to trial fit the arch extensions prior to paint, to save drilling the fresh paint?

Got to see the car in the flesh today! Looks really nice, very pleased with results. Got a few bits put on the car, but not much

Not much to report on. I've got a couple of hours on the wiring loom. I've added central locking to the boot (not designed the mechanism yet) and spliced it into the rear loom. I also added a live feed for the boot light. Luckily there was a spare hole on the rear loon connector, so added the live there
