The Mini Door Company based in Preston are the company to check out. Unless you fancy doing the reskins yourself. Plenty of skins and door bottom parts readily available. I’ve got a Mini Thirty, in cherry red (a lovely shade of metallic red COG is the paint code) which has 13” x 7” deep dish wheels gold with polished rims. Not to everyone’s taste if they want originality but as it’s mine I get to choose how it sits.
Thanks for the info! Now that you mention it, i think the code for the paint originally on this car was 'COG' and it had the mini 30 style wheels too, although it was not a mini 30 by designation...weird! Personally i really like Gold wheels especially on a deep metallic Red car. Its that kind of different but still cool angle that i need to put on this car i think!
Maybe go for a cool dark metallic red color with a beige or elephant tusk color for the roof and wheel arches? Just think about it a little, you don't actually have to go for that color combo :)
My dad had a 2017 Dodge Ram in a really nice deep metallic Red (I think it was called 'Delmonico Red') and i did think that would be a cool colour for the exterior with a tan interior - so sort of along the lines of what you're saying! Lots of choice at this stage!
I'd suggest Dubonnet Rosso for the red. You can find a lovely restored DB5 in that colour easily with a quick search, and I think it would look lovely on the Mini. Cream roof and interior to complement it. Definitely no carbon fibre.
I did wonder if i could do a variation on the original colour with a Silver base and deep candy Red over the top, but then again, maybe that'd be overkill!

Hi Johnny, thanks for the latest catch up on the mini project & I do hope that at some stage you will be able to finish it. I did do a message with a website link for the door re-skinning but it has disappeared. I will put the name again at the end. Like the idea of Porsche Guards Red. Maybe a carbon fibre effect for the roof?? Not too sure if that will suit what you want though. J G Welding is the place I'm sure you will find it (Devon based I think), if not let me know an email address for you & I'll send a proper link that way as I hope I don't have to write this a 3rd time. Cheers & all the best 👍🏻
@@JohnnyGetsCash2 no problem, enjoy both your channels mate & even if you don't use the company I found, it's good to be able to give you a suggestion. Someone else put some info for another company, so I hope that between the 2 you have some options going forward 👍🏻
Dark cherry bomb with a silver metallic roof + mirrors with mat black wheel arches and wheels just regular alloy silver. White on just red will look period correct but too outdated in my opinion.
I think theres definitely a time and place for it, but certainly full carbon doors might look a bit daft on a car of the spec i'm going for...not to mention the incredible cost of them!

@@JohnnyGetsCash2 Just go for it man, don't think ;)
Hi mate , looking forward to seeing your next video

It seems like deep Red with tan / cream is a popular choice...certainly food for thought! Thank you
I enjoy that dark cherry bomb but bright deep red. It looks almost caramel cherry Works well with most all other trim and interior color.
I did wonder if i could do a variation on the original colour with a Silver base and deep candy Red over the top, but then again, maybe that'd be overkill!
@@JohnnyGetsCash2 Its never over kill if its what you like and enjoy.
What about Night fire red? An original Rover colour but a lovely shade.
Look forward to this, when it happens, of course 😄
Ill do my best to make sure it doesn't flounder any longer than absolutely necessary!
Well you are gonna have to get on with it now Johnny
Think the original colour was Robert Nightfire red

I have had good results with Hagmans 2k epoxy primer. Dont know if you get it in the UK. Good videos you make!!
Thanks very much! Ill have a look at Hagmans 2k EP. i'm sure ill be able to source some here👍
No carbon!!!
