I think it makes the car look confused and squinting more than angry... the Mini ones look like a cross between tired and an eye infection lol. If I didnt have a mini I'd love a Euro'd Lupo though.... Only pain in the tit with Euro is the fact it all revolves around the rims. To do the Euro look properly you need to spend about the same as the base price of the car on the rims Either a Lupo or a Nissan Cube or Scion anyway...

If it was me I'd get a daily driver that costs as little as possible to run, then leave it as standard. Keep your hard earned pennies for spending on the Mini! ;D

Well if I can get a lupo as a daily the vinyl is being ripped off the mini to see the true extent of filler/ fiberglass and rust thay may be lying underneath

Thanks again jd for showing me the way :-) after the way the roof turned out I went to halfords and got a bottle of the auto glym stuff , the car looks stunning now , I will take some pictures tomorrow once ive done the interior and give it the 2nd polish , should look stunning after that ,

Dont give it a 2nd polish till at least 48 hrs after the 1st one - trust me! (I'd leave it till the end of the week! ) It will give the 1st layer of polish more time to "harden" and you'll see the benefit later on! Glad to hear that it worked for you tho!
