Returning with another mini

Hi guys, finally found myself back in a mini again after 6 years away from the cars. Previously I owned a laser blue r56 lowered on rota rims. Picked up this r53 https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...cbcb71989f.jpg

First jobs to be done were clear that black spray paint off the lights. As they were horrendous in the dark I’d go so far as to say the side lights were brighter.

Gave it a good clean. In doing so the panda eyes and grilles pealed which to be honest I was torn on anyways.

Next job polish those headlights again and replace the drivers headlight washer jet and cover.the cover was glued in place by the previous owner prior to sale.

Cheers pal! It needs some tlc to be up to my standard but with the current climate it’s going to take a wee bit longer.

Cheers guys, I'm planning on painting the chrome on the front end red as I'm not a huge chrome fan.

I think that’ll look really good

Nice yea I would color code or try find an areo grill

Aargh! Just moved house and as part of the decluttering I chucked out a headlamp washer cover for my old R53!
