Re: 1987 Mini city
They are polybush cones that are slightly harder than standard and they are adjustable in height. I have black one in the front to. But you can't see them at all.

Re: 1987 Mini city
I've never understood the German number plate style thingy, is it out of respect for our overlords?

Re: 1987 Mini city
Think it is time i updated this as my car has had many looks from when it was ratlook
I decided to make it Japanese look when i bought my SSR fl-2 wheels from Japan 2 years ago and a delta mini exhaust was added also and some S2000 seats from a honda on custom frames
Went from this
To this in a few weeks
Then A second hand spolier was added from Kent garage in japan just to finish off the look

Mostly all the welding done with just a few small bits to tidy up and smooth over
Final strip down to a rolling shell just subframes and steering rack. Engine full removed master cylinders removed Etc to get the engine bay repainted and to rebuild the Engine aswell as it was starting to get tired
Then finally off to the painters to be repainted shiny targa red
In the painters getting ready for paint
To the whole car one colour and in primer ready for another coat of red primer then top coat
