Thanks! It turns out the bolt size required was 2mm larger in diameter than what I had used on the cabrio. Luckily my rims had holes big enough to accommodate the larger sized bolts, so once they arrived, popping the rims on was no problem

I always thought nothing would look better than a black cabrio on black rims, but now they are on my R56, I'm like woowww everytime I see it! The contrast of white and black works soo well imo, and not only does it look better than my cabrio, it feels a lot more go-karty to drive too

Cheers mate The mod list at the moment consists of:

1) Search Ebay day and night to find headlights without the orange indicator bits
2) Sort out some vinyls
3) Lower it! .... As much as I love the ride at the moment... I have to agree with Laura and Jacked Up... I think it needs lowering
4) An induction kit would be cool, but at the moment with me running it in there isn't much point to having one atm.
5,6,7...) Who knows..

Here are a couple more pics.... Taking these shots low down, on a farmyard perhaps wasn't the best idea though.. as it realllllly looks like a 4x4 and in need of lowering

Looking fantastic Serby.

I'm loving the wheels on Pepper White.

You had me looking for ages!!! didn't read the bottom bit

[ALD0]

Yeah very subtle mod

[zyo]

So subtle...i'm still looking ...and I did read the caption below

[zyo]

A ..ha....I've just spotted it

[gfog]

sweet car dude loving the wheels, thinking of something very similar for my one! + nice work on the reg plate

[Bacnka]

How do you afford all of this while at uni?

The reg plate position

[Serby]

Yeah, I raised the front number plate enough to clear the lower grill.

I noticed a couple of days ago where the number plate is positioned on a photoshopped Cooper on the front of one of the brochures ...........



Here are some pics of my only other mods so far, I'm still a tad undecided, but I think it looks good.

:: Chrome windscreen washers and silver aero side repeaters with clear/silver bulbs ::

Crikey you took your time to reply!
Hope your well mate, Can't see the pics as they block a few in work-will look tonight and post back comments

Famous last words and all that...

As of about two weeks, or as soon as the number plate transfers go through, I shall be driving this.... (apologies about the pants picture quality, I've not taken any of my own photos yet)



As much as I loved the R56 One, it didn't have the dramticism, soul and character that I have loved in my previous cars I sure as heck will miss its fuel economy and cheap insurance though. Despite being a fair bit older and with more miles, I think that the S should be good fun, and look pretty darn tasty once my wheels are on!

[Matts Mini Adventure]

You see i knew this would happen!!

i buy a cooper you buy a cooper
i buy a cabby you buy a cabby
i buy a R56 you by a R56
i get a Cooper S you get a Cooper S

i think i'm starting to see a pattern

CONGRATS MATE I'M PROPER CHUFFED FOR YA!!!

just learn how to change gear hey

[118]

nice one Serby, looks great

[Serby]

Cheers mate I thought it looked a little stunner, despite the fact that I didn't want a Silver car initially!

Hopefully it should be easier to keep clean than Pepper White... not that I'm lazy
