The underneath of Castlepoint car park adds to the 'industrial and dark' look of that photo!

Nice sunstrip, the car looks really good John.

Spent the best part of this afternoon polishing and touching up the black trim on my MINI to get her ready for the top gear run next weekend.  Below are some pics I got before it went too dark.

Thanks Andrew. Some how I think other people will have better and different MINI's so not expecting to win.

If you look closly in the back of my MINI you might find something you have fitted in your MINI already.

Not sure how much more different the other MINI's could be without being nasty.

I think Andrew is right, it is definately one for best dressed.

If it helps we can all ask to photograph it and interview you for pretend magasines to help the judges? Not that you need it.

Got the silver to match the chrome interior. Wasn't sure if it made any difference to start with but now I've been down some of my favourite roads the cars feels much better over the bumps.

Are let you know later tonight once I get home from work. I've been using the same bottle for the last 5 years and really does work well for getting the car all nice for shows.

I would have thought Jo would get a few votes since her MINI is an original look were as my MINI is just copying the MINI challange look.

Better pass the word around all those going to TG from SCNM to vote for me.

It is, had a few people ask me what I use when I've been to show's and MINI runs. Is basicly some sort of black liquid you apply to a cloth and then wipe onto the plastic trim. You don't need much at all and I only apply it a few times a year...mainly before a big show or when giving the MINI a good clean.

Having been to many a car 'cruise' i am well aware of the way it runs for show n shine and such like.

I am simply being playful in offering support to John.

For all those interested the stuff I use to clean up the black trim is the following. Not sure if you can still buy it or not since I've had the same bottle for about 5 years now!

Black Trim Wax made by carplan. Brought from halfords.
