i think cream would look very smart matey.

id do vinyl too, 1. i think its cheaper, and 2. if it looks kak or you want to change it back etc you can do very easily :)

Rich,

why would that be better dude? wouldnt painted be a better finish? :blink:

Well yeah paint would give a better paint finish, vinyl gives a different "angle" if you get my drift. It was just a random thought as over Christmas i bought about 10meters of white vinyl and am in the slow process of trying to design wing mirror covers, bonnet bra / full cover and a roof for it :P

Just realized something, i didn't mean the vinyl as in that plastic stuff, more the stuff like original mini owners covered there roofs in, its some sort of upholstery :blink: quite thick too

But yeah the plastic vinyl would be a good idea too to get a feel for whether you like the style enough to take the plunge and get the respray :)

Yeah sorry, my bad i wasn't clear at first! Yes those type of vinyl wrapping companies would be what id do if i wanted to do what your doing, but i have no idea of any I'm afraid. I'm sure Google can find some tho!

My vinyl project is a real pig to do, I'm getting my uncle to help with my roof as he covered his mini cooper's roof in brown upholstery type vinyl back in the 60's haha If you go to E38 it should be done by then lol
