Oh that helps then, as I am Welsh but not speak it.
(I found Martini stripes for sale on ebay was thinking of these for my kit, golden days of racing).

I love it on cars from the 80's and 90's. Dunno how good it would look on a kit inspired by the 60's.

That actually doesn't look bad to me.
But I think that's because these aren't precisely the gulf colours (orange "paler").

Will be shelving the mini hinges for the boot, longer morris minor hinges ordered, need to beef up the metal before mounting, the bit between the chrome strips, as it warped slightly, anyone got a bucket of enthusiasm they could give or lend me, on a plus note ss wiper arms extended, adapters drilled out, anyway back to more filling.

Just thinking about those MM hinges....I think the ones for the bonnet have angled hinges and the boot ones have angled bases? I may be wrong! All are handed. N

These are for the rear my boot is longer and I will need to bolt it to the metal, the morris hinges are longer, and will support trhe boot better, I will beef up the metal before fixing. Mini ones are too small, but I tried and it presented the mounting problem, so we live, we learn, we build! |

I have the minor parts, and I hate them. 
Whatever, they are too long and do not fit.
The radius is suitably bent in the front "two different radii"
I will not give up, even if I have to rebuild the hood. |

Charger, not sure what hinges you have, I have a set of Mini hinges now shelved, a not matched pair of Morris Minor hinges (nice curves not good for the kit) also shelved, and a pair od new Morris Oxford hinges from India, they are almost flat and fit my build as mine is a MX250C.

The Morris parts are to long.
I go crazy, no clue how i can use the hinges.
The angle must be more than 110 degree and they have 90. not more 
I hope to find light at the dark horizon 
And Yes the mini hinges are perfect for front and rear!
