ive now come to the point on my mini where ive got to do decide what i actually want!

im stuck between the ideas or miglia or retro

if i was to do miglia, it would go black and white with some 7x10 wheels and all the trick bits!

but if i go retro, i was thinking willow green with black and some grp6 arches and some 6x10 gb wheels!

just cant decide now :(

any ideas on what i should do.

i prefer the retro look with a few modern touches. thats what im doing on mine anyway. in my book retro done properly alway has a bit of class about it.

I'd say go retro,

it will be cheaper, easier to live with and i'd bet faster on most roads.

was going to go retro rally,

i think if it was miglia it would have to be clean all the time! but rally look can be dirty and still look good :)
