Nice. What you need is a Speedwell rocker cover. Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

Are your bonnet stripes on wrong? The ends near the scuttle look like they should be the other way round |

Well I've bought the deluxe carpet today, will fir it over the weekend along with the loom. I'm basically making up the designs as to how I would like my mini to look, not an exact replica but I can use the speedwell badges and logo to tie it all together nicely, plus anyone who doesnt know minis will think its something special LOL.

I have some vinyl decals to go on the sides of the car and on the bonnet although I am in two minds now wether or not to put them on the bonnet, basically I just wanted a nice 70's looking racer with a modern twist. hence the old style number plate, mk1 grill (which will be getting moustaches when I remember which box i put them in, black mamba wheels, role cage and dash that look a little like a works dash but with all modern gauges and switchs. Speedwell was just a nice logo really to tie the car together as you don't often see it. Will look the business to anyone who doesn't know cars or minis, but to us lot it will just look like a few stickers LOL Edited by madonminis on 18th Jun, 2012.

Yeah I did a little research online then got some glass paint from hobbycraft and brushed it on, I did 2 coats leaving it 12 hours between coats but really should have left it 48 hours before doing the second as I started to get brushstrokes and finger prints in it, but you cant see unless you press your nose up to them. Will let you know how the paint holds up if I ever get my car on the road. Although the glass paint was only a fiver and I've hardly used any. BHP sells engines, but Torque wins races! |

Ok so I haven't exactly been busy with my car since summer, it's too far away. Got a good engine to strip down and rebuild to keep me busy though.
