Great work Tom,

Those kevlar parts look awesome mate were did you get them from?

Also love the seats how comfortable are they and what made you choose the classic rather than clubmans or monaco?

[minipip]

hey dude! looking sweet, but dont forget to keep ur orignal plates! as they aint legal! but do look swich!
cant wait to have a clamber over it at the meet dude!

Yea iv still got the original plates i keep them in the boot.

The seats are really comfy, i chose them because i wanted to keep the sort of original feel to the car, where as if i chose the clubmans or similar i think it would have loast some of the originality but i suppose this is sort of lost with all the checker plate so i duno. lol

The Black plates look mint on your car B)

And the carbon fibre will suit it to.

Changed the interior again now lol, iv put the standard mini seats back, but they are recover in cream leather

Iv also found out that the Gel coat on the Kevlar had gone milky so i cant use them with the wave showing, So i will get them painted soon.

Ill try and get some pics up soon.

just a quick note on the fog light issue...... i know it's a bit late. i've got my offside reverse light changed to the fog light, and have never had trouble with the law. mot wise i'm sure it's fine, mine's always passed ok, but, people are right to say that it can't be within 100mm of a brake light, under construction and use regulations, but how many coppers are going to follow you thinking bout where the fog light is in relation to the brake lights!! with the fog light removed from the valance it helps reduce the rust in that area!

[Tomf]

Thanks for clearing it all up .

love the leather interior.

i know this bit might sound piccy but to me that exhaust looks to be slightly off centre to the left as you look at the pic.

or have i got wonky eyes?

[Tomf]

Nope your eyes are fine, its off center ill have to change it when i get roud to it lol when i brought the mini it was already like that.
