Ok so i gave the ol' girl a good brush up today and did a little work so i thought id post a tiny update. First up she got a good clean which was well needed! Also i trimmed down the roof bars to a more aesthetically pleasing size and then chucked a few more stickers on for good measure! (Im getting addcited to sticklers!) Anyway - pics! Next on the list is to sort out a noisy wheel bearing and then get the 2 new tires i need for my new wheels so i can fit them!

Loving the progress

Again i found ebay was cheapest for just the roof bars. Mine isnt neccessarily "retro" but heres a few pics for you - Sorry about the rubbish pic quality

Quick test fit of the wheels i bought, they really need a refurb and two need new tyres. Still not sure on colour schemes but we'll take it as it comes Without centre caps (think i prefer the look like this) And finally the roof bars and roof tray i bought. Think im going to cut down the bars a bit as they stick out way too much. My friend stuck the keg on there

I just fitted a thule roof tray that i got second hand on ebay for £35, it fits right onto roof bars so pretty simple. Depends if youre looking for a classic/retro style or a tray like mine. If its the older style id say look on retro car forums and particularly mini forums for when they pop up for sale.

Personally id say the colour is perfect. Just like the rest of it haha.
