Hi All. My name is Trish, I am from Gloucestershire and I bought my Mini Designer Yesterday! Her name is Audrey, 2 previous owners. Although I have never owned a mini before my boyrfriend has been in the scene for quite some time and I have caught the bug, unfortunatly for him I wanted a designer, so we searched high and lo and finally came across Audrey who is just perfect. Here is a picture of her I am also part of the Mini Foresters Club. miniforesters.co.uk/Hope to see you all at the shows!

Hi Trish Congratulations on your choice of mini. Im in cheltenham, not to far away from you and have had my mini designer for about a month now. im sure i will see you around, im a member of the gloucestershire mini owners club and have been to a couple of meets with them. If you do the designer birthday run let me know and we could have a 'mini' convoy. ;D Enjoy Miranda

Welcome aboard, Trish and Audrey!! As to needing a wing mirror, the best I can suggest is that you spray to match as they're sadly NLA. If you DO spot one, it'll likely be second hand at a Mini Show jumble stand! Rover's Storm Grey is about the best match I've found to date.

Thanks for the help. Do you know the paint code for Nimbus Grey? my Boyfriend is good and would spray one for me (Unless I do manage to get one at a show.... one day.. ) Are there club stickers that we can put on our cars? Miranda, I would be delighted to convoy with you down to London!

Stickers are work in progress at this point in time, I had two offers from acquaintances to provide stickers at low/no cost to us, both have let me down so now I need to raise funds to get them professionally run up. Paint code for Nimbus should be on the panel in the engine bay on a car that original NMN is Diamond White, so the other three letter code is the one you're after... I can't remember it off-hand I'm afraid ^^;

hiyah chris - its just a gold engine but it was painted in a special paint that they used to determain that the engine had been built properly - but sadly you cant buy that colour anymore! so just paint it a normal yellow colour but with a hint of gold flec and it will look sllightly right and slightly new x
