The Plan; Cars gonna go RR phantom Black The wheels are colour coded centres but lathe cut edges; The front it getting a custom made "aston style grill" Chrome bumpers front and rear, conversion has already been done from rubber bumper The cars had lowering springs on the front and rear, still not low enough yet so more mod's required. Mazda mx5 seats re-covered in cream leather. Dashboard has been removed, it will be painted colour coded with the body, cos i hate that crinkle effect plastic!

A great 'B that is . Great choice on the rims too! What sized tyres are on those in comparison to the original wheels?

The colour is actually the new BMW mini grey.
We were going for the mustang Eleanor grey, but we actually thought it was to light. (still debating whether to stick on the black cobra stripe)
The wheels are done I've just got to wrap them in new tyres, I've been assured they look awesome!
The car is back with me for a moment I'm just getting the final work completed on the engine then the panels will be added.
I'm going to use a mazda mx5 seat, we're thinking either a dark red leather or cream/biscuit. I think either will work nicely with the colour.

Excellent colour and wheel choice! I think a red interior would look great with this.
