brilliant

although what happens when the inevitable happens and you need to touch it up, will it have to be done by a specialist

lokks real nice that. that i don't think that colour suits many cars but on a mini.......... loks great.

just use plenty of covers when you put everything back on it. one slip is all it takes (i know).

Me neither usually prefer retro. But that is stunning, what did that paint cost?

Hats off to you.
