you're right Glen, the glitter in my paint does hide the orange-peel...
Don't nearly all mass produced [ie, NOT hand built, hand painted] cars fall victim to orange peel...

I've never liked the black out look, except on the yellows, for some reason... but I gotta admit... that is one sexy MINI!

nice. i'd wait for fully adjustable coilovers.
the only reason i bought my Hotchkis springs were because they were $50 from a friend and i needed to get rid of that disturbing wheel gap
haha
