PS. We need a name for my mean lookin' MINI.

Darth Vader is current favourite, but I'm open to suggestions?

It will be getting a personal plate as soon as they can sort out the paperwork to transfer it from my current car, so good idea, but won't work in this instance.

Hyde only works in the Jekyll & Hyde context, which since it's staying transformed won't really work. I think Darth Vader suits it better but open to any suggestions of anything more appropriate.

We did the same thing - Had the reg plate for all of about a week or so then went straight to private plate. I quite like the name Stig for some reason

Fanks all.

I have to say I'm very pleased with the finished result.

Getting a boot tidy thing too with a Union Jack lid, so it's all black and discreet on the outside, open the boot and you're greeted with a big Union Jack on the boot floor!

You missed mine!

Snap Professor Peach! Done over 500 miles in mine now . Will write a mini-report once I get to the milestone of 1250 miles .

Hope the weather will be nice your way at the weekend .

Tunster, snap indeed!!

Only difference on the outside is the wheels and mirrors (and I have a sunroof).

And the inside is the same as well! Black Punch leather, Piano Black trim, dark grey colourline, chrome edged bezels, even the hi fi speakers.

Only real difference is I've opted for the anthricite headlining.

Your car looks great by the way.

I like 'em big...
