Mini Cooper

As one of the most iconic British cars, the Mini Cooper, is a small, robust, package of energy, charm, and style.

The classic racing red bodywork with the white or cream colour roof is one of the standard combinations that define my mental image of a Mini Cooper.

In this work, the addition of the pāua shell to colour the wheels adds that enhancing touch and special detail.

Unless you are an enthusiast for Mini Coopers, the wheels and tyres would generally not hold much interest for you. But with the pāua upgrade, this can change the visual focus and turn the basic elements into very interesting, eye-catching components.
