It's looking like a propper mini now :) 1275 motor is a nice touch with the propper mint shell! It's so straight and solid! He was going with blue but last minute in the paint shop changed his mind! Wat a change! I like it a lot and can't wait till he has it fully finished wich should b next week :) cannot wait to take a spin around in it :)

Great job there! I love the Colour. It's great with black and chrome detailing.
