No not Vanpeebles again 
, this is my identical "retro" car to his, won't let me put it in the same topic the curse word. 
I hesitate to put it here but it has enough shiny trim and gets enough odd looks to be a retro car, stick some old silver on black numberplates on and some AA badges on the grille and they'd be no wiser! That and the scary suspension.
The vent is mad and surprisingly stock, it seals over the top mount intercooler, note how from the side it just looks like some mum shopping car, great fun because you can see their bored reaction turn to surprise when you turn the car round in car parks. I've had some old classics flash headlights too, Mini owners tend to make weird confused faces.
A nice wooden Momo wheel! Shame about the naff Hijet van style gearknob but I might get a Nardi wooden one for it to match the wheel. Anyone else know some good round normal looking wooden gearknobs?
Vanpeebles the mechanic has done all my car work which consisted of putting the blow off valve on, no other modifications as of yet but maybe a D-Sport air filter to come from Japan soon. Other stuff to do yet, those wheels need refurbishing and a new set of tyres. The exhaust is a bit rubbish and rusty too. And there's a dent in it. But I only got it about a month ago! 660cc turbo, makes funny noises, brrrarrrwhhooooPISH!
Plans for future, fit the Avanzato TR-XX roof spoiler I got for it and maybe get a set of gunmetal Watanabe RS-8's (basically Minilite style 8 spokes). Perhaps the grille could accomodate some spotlamps too. ;D
