Still on the trail of a new mini, considered many options, looked into buying a brand new one, looked at GP works cars....all sorts really.

Latest brainwave is to get a 05-06 cooper S hatch, cheap as possible & spray it white, pure white, brilliant white, snow white.....you get the idea!!

Found a pepper white car local to look at, its got a few nice bits including Chili Pack, Cockpit Chrono Package, Anthracite Roof Lining & leather recaro seats.



We want to paint it this colour -



Any ideas on cost to get it done??

bring it to me, around £1500+vat if you are keeping the roof black
you do love ibis white dont you
how about pure white as ibis has a hint of blue in the mix

All white mate, roof, mirrors probably even the handles and chrome rings around the headlights if it can be done!!

What would we be looking at?

I'd have you do it in a second if you were local, but were at the other end of the country!!

only 6 hours apart
be closer to £2k, if your serious for me to do the work then i would do you a proper estimate, can do the headlamp rings too and any interior parts, door card inserts would look good in white with black detail,
i also have an aero bodykit but its for a cooper s cab so would need a new rear bumper as has the hinge cut outs in it, its brand new though and going cheap

the interior is the same as i was thinking, dont ike the wheels though, the 5 spokes above relly suit the mini, have to be debadged all round though and as much chrome painted either gloss black or white
thats the kit i have too

How much are you after for the aero kit?

I'll need to put this all by Jade and see what she wants to do. Might go for a look at that car tomorrow. Im guessing it would be better to get one thats already white of sorts for spraying white?? What bits wouldnt be getting painted....obviously the bay wouldnt...what else??

wouldn't need to do under the bonnet as is matt white anyway, then you just have door and boot shuts to paint as there is hardly anything to them. aero kit probably about £300 without the rear bumper, think they are £800 new. yeah get a white one would be much easier
