Hey man, Lovely looking car. I was thinking about flip paint but it sure does cost a lot. £1200 for yours and you said the guy did you a special deal. Hate to imagine what the price would of been without the deal :gasp:

Im sure you must be having tons of fun in your car. My mini is fully running etc.. but i cant drive it till feb at the earliest :sad: :sad:

Looks lovely. Im usually not a fan of minis with bodykits but this one looks nice. Is that front grill the one from mini trailers?

Keep up the hard work

[flip_paint_mini]

well then where should i start, my car was on the road for a year and i kept on blowing up the engine and i was fitting a engine every weekend i also went over a speed bump really really slowly and ripped my rear bumper off was well upset.
I took my car in to work and did a quick service on her i needed new front wheel barings, new track rod ends, ball joint and subframe mounts etc.
so i thourght to my self what will be best thing to do, so i took her off the road to sort everything out and i kept on stripping and stripping and now she is a bear shell.

well nearly a bear shell still got the windows in etc because i'm doing it out side underneath a gazebo

[flip_paint_mini]

well this is where she is out side the back of my house stripped back to the shell
