It looks awesome buddy, very different but still a Mini. I love the alloys too. What headlights are those, I don't think I've ever seen a set like that before?  |

All that left really now is a few finishing touches and tidy up the engine bay and the install.

Spent the day doing the finishing touches, and getting rid of the last bits of chrome. Altogether I have sprayed the inside and surround of the rear lights, the windscreen and rear window strip, put a centre badge on the steering wheel and sprayed the exhaust tip black.    Thats all thats left now is to hook up the I.C.E. |

The Mini looked great in the flesh on Saturday, and you're not finished yet.? What a meticulous example.

since my last post I have been sorting the engione bay out, I gave it a dam good scrubbing and was happy with how it looked, for a few hours, lol. So I started spraying a few things silver and done the rocker cover the same colour scheme as the car,  I was going to leave the block yellow but its not as clean as i'd like it to be and no amounts of scrubbing will get it any cleaner so am going to paint it black and spray a few more things next. Also am in the process of getting some custom centre cap badges made but you will all have to wait until they are on to find out whats going to be on them sorry. |

well attacked the engine like a man possessed today, lol. bought some chrome look paint to see what it would be like and was quite suprised, it comes out as a kind of dull chrome, also bought aluminium paint for radiators to give the engine block a bare metal finish look,  |

these are sprayed with the chrome look paint,  and this is the aluminium paint,  the aluminium paint needs a 2nd coat tommorow. |

Will defo be at the trucks not 100% if i'll be bringing the mini though. If its dry it will be there though.
Little update, gave the engine bay another coat of paint today so is looking better now, also bought some redbull and used the empty can as a coil cover.
