I wanted a body to reflect the car I really drive, a 2003 Green Mini Cooper, so here they both are, let me know what ya think. I'll be adding gunmetal rim to my 1:10 to mimic my Cooper.

Sure is a sweet paint job! While you were looking for that body, did you notice if there was an old style mini in 1/10 ?

thats awesome, now if only i could do that to my stampede and my f-150... too bad it would cost about 15000 to get the lift kit, and tires and other stuff

but anyway... if u can find matchin rims that would be the finishing touch, but it still looks great
