After an intensive rotary session with my mate Jon (with help from Syd) up in deepest Wigan, the Blingo had perfectly machined flanks ready for the application of some vinyl. The design of this vinyl had taken an age. We had sounded out a few designs and none had really gone anywhere. Then Phil at Minipirate.com took an early suggestion and gave us his take on it. Now, we were getting somewhere. Inspired by Phil's ideas, pj and Dom finished the design a week or two later – a sophisticated yet striking ‘swirly’ Supernatural design in silver with burgundy Dodo Juice flourishes. And to cap it off, we added a ‘NO JUICE LEFT IN THIS VAN OVERNIGHT’ sticker on the rear door. It really does do our odd little van proud. So thank you, Phil.

Phil’s write up of the process can be found here: Blingo livery write up. We are also borrowing his shots, so thanks Phil.

And if you want any vinyls for Minis or other machinery, we can vouch for Phil’s creative touch. Contact him at minipirate.com.
