Finally back driving GBMINI#3 again, instead of the rental car; Julian from Sublime Restorations called this afternoon, to say the new bonnet stripes were finished and GBMINI#3 was ready for pick-up. Hooray!
The “S” on the roof is of course now finished too, but no time to get another aerial shot yet, so here’s a night flash shot:
Nice! Looks like it came out very well!
Ian, you’re right the silver border on the stripe really looks ‘smart’, sounds like you’re really pleased…chris
Yay! 😀 Much better with the stripes. GBMINI just looked like a regular MINI without them.
The roof turned out great too! But of course I said that the first time too…please tell us how you feel this time.
The bonnet strips look great Ian. Did you continue the stripes onto the boot? With the roof and bonnet stripes done does it mean you’re finished modifying the outside of GBMINI #3 or is the outside styling still a work in progress?
The stripes look very nice – and that’s coming from a vinyl guy!
I think you made the best choice going with the painted stripes since you wanted the silver to go with your red/black/chrome motif.
I hope to see it in person some day. Maybe my next trip through your area on my way to Halifax we could meet up.
Cheers!
Todd
Thanks everyone – yes the “S” on the roof is much better now, and I am happy with it.
My exterior mods continued today with rally lights (could not do that till the stripes were on) – about the only exterior mod still needed is a JCW badge, when it is allowed 😉
