Bonnet vents

[wooly350i]

Well its been started, just some more fettling to be done then its a big decision on what be the final colour, wooly

[400SE Dave]

Cool, great job

[wooly350i]

Cheers Dave, I really fancy an outrageous colour although its going to be some time yet.

Looks great with the bonnet vents, mine has them too!

Just buy a 390, they come as standard

[wooly350i]

Want this one.
Grass is never greener on the other side.

Very nice Wooly.. Proper job!

So any ideas on the colour? I quite like the colour it is, not seen a Wedge in that colour before?

Edit: is it just my eyes, or is it a gold colour?

Oh don't convince me to keep this colour, I'm talking myself up for something completely different, its ford champagne metallic gold, old people used to love that colour like beige.

Lol sorry mate... If gold is old, maybe a louder colour..like my Focus ST, bright orange?? Maybe not.
I quite like black Wedges.. Pig to keep clean though!

probably going to get shoot for saying this......but when it comes to spraying the wee beastie I'm going to use plasti-dip (basically a rubberized paint that can be peeled off.............bit like wrapping but cheaper and better as its sprayed on)

I think my car would love great in a matte metallic silver............just saying

Watched the vidio, interesting stuff, I do wonder how robust these alternative finishes are and what's involved with repairing them.

Wayne just looked at ya profile mate, see where ya,coming from with the electric ST orange, I have seriously been considering that colour as my lad did his old mini in it, but maybe looking at somewhere between ST orange and a candy red but just as zingy, not going to happen for a while but like to look ahead.

Pretty robust from the other videos from this place

If they can survive cash washes and being used on exhaust tips I'd say it tough

And a heap cheaper than spraying,,,,,,,and change when you're bored

That colour combination sounds like it could be rather nice..

Wicked looking Mini.. Takes me back, I passed my test in a little black (original) Mini.


I quite like this..

Yes that wedge looks spot on with a quality paint job, if I was looking to buy than that one has to be close to top of the list.
My lad loves compliments about his mini, cheers.

I wouldn't jack it up there, the front crossmember is not that strong....

I jack mine there but I do use a spreader.
