Can I ask, why no S badges? Or are they to come...

The car isn't quite finished yet.
I have the S decals to go on, the Cooper pinstripes and bonnet stripes and there is a freshly trimmed interior on its way too.
I have still got to flat and polish the paintwork so once that is done, the decals can be put on.
Cheers
Ben

In between jobs this morning, I thought I would make a start on the polishing

Once the side was done, the stripes and decal went on

I saw this on Monday in the flesh, it looks superb even before Ben had flatted and polished it.

The stance/ride height also looks really good and the black grille / handles / bumpers compliment the look.

The freshly retrimmed interior showed up today so I can finally cross the final few jobs off the list on this one and complete it.
Update to follow in the next few days!

Finally! Looking great Ben!

 

The silver looks like a pretty good match with the dash/wheel too

Hi rich, the match is as close as you could expect. They have done a really nice job of them.

Who did the retrim?

Best person to answer would be rich777 as he made the arrangements himself.

Cheers
Ben

JCS does some really amazing work, I see his posts on Facebook al the time. too bad he's not stateside, there are a LOT of people here who can use a good trimmer like him!
