GP now colour coded (UPDATED)

[raymondmc9]

I have just received my GP back from the garage and im very pleased with the work.
I had my front bumper,wheel arches, back bumper and the boot handle colour coded. The work was carried out by C.S Autos in Edinburgh and they charge between £800-£1000. I had a discount as i knew the owner. There work is very impressive, no dimples and looks the way i believe Mini should have made the GP - standing out from the crowd!

[illegalhunter]

very nice so makes the difference colour coded

[Mini Ecosse]

Really smart looking.

[AndyP & Lenore]

Very nice.:D Best looking GP I've seen yet.:D

If it was me (and I know it wasn't me, but just if it was...) I might have colour coded the arches, skirts etc, with the roof colour. And maybe changed the wee vents in the rear bumper to black or red, like the mirror caps.:approve:

:D Looking Great :D

[Gorbash12346]

much better... for that sorta money they should have been done anyway but yeah looks good

[raymondmc9]

hi and thanks for the comments. I did actually consider making the bumpers etc the same as the roof but decided against it because i wanted a smooth and blended in finish. I think it should have come colour coded in the first place. The GP just dosen't look special enough, looks as if its driven through a halfords isle!

I know what you mean, and you're right, it should have been colour coded from the outset. Would have been another reason to set it aside from other MINI's.;)

This thread has given me an idea ! hmmm !

[GP 1536]

Just checked with Herny Bros. in Glasgow and they are unable to colour code the arches.Does anyone know of a reputable garage in the Glasgow area that does ? Ta.

[Craig]

I know it is not in Glasgow, but not a big drive to Menzies in Stirling, they have done the colour coding for quite a few members...(Scottiecoop, Andy P, Crombers, MarkyC) (not on GP's but the job is the same..)

:D:D

CS Autos in Edinburgh is the place to go if your needing ur arches painted. They will do a quality job and leave the arches dimple free. I got mine done and its perfect

[monkimagic]

Did they give a warrenty with it ?

[raymondmc9]

they dont give a warranty as such, but there an honest garage. if you had a problem i wouldnt imagine there would be a problem taking it back. Ive used then twice now and have friends who have used them in the past with only good things to say about them
