Really cool! Love it. Great looking wheels, too! Are those Drags?


I'd love to get my hands on a pair of those side scuttles too... where did you find them?

here you go http://shop.dankanminishop.co.uk/ind...&product_id=51
As for the wheels I don't recall the name of them. Its near time to replace them with something with a more aggressive offset.

thanks everyone for your time and comments.

What an excellent job! This is the first time I have seen a brushed finish wrap and I think this looks really good. How difficult is that type of finish to keep clean?
You've done some excellent work here!

Thank you, I had been planning on doing this for months but pondered on how I would keep the grain going in the same direction, so I went with horizontal. there is only one seam on the car and that is on he hood. Reason being, it was the only way to keep the pattern from warping since minis have hood/fenders together.
The day I finished it I treated the surface with Permanon, a german spray to repel dirt.
From then on cleaning is simple, carwash soap with micro-fiber cloth and I use the same cloth to dry. no waxing or waterspots to worry about.

Yes it does, or any other car for that matter. People walk by it and do a double take and walk back to feel it.
