OK, so i bit the bullet and have purchased the JCW brake it, which should sit nicely behind the BBS 17" alloys. Changed to aero side skirts, new spotlights, matt black viper stripes and just ordered the main strut brace from GTT, a tan leather interior installed too, looking pretty good, now for the fun bit....I want to spend a little on the engine, say around £1200.

Been looking at GTT, they do a 220 conversion, it seems BBR do the same to, although the GTT sounds more detailed. Also checked out a company called Mini Speed, based in Byfleet.

Can anyone offer any suggestions that they have done and worked a treat and who's best to carry out such works. I'm still on fairly low mileage 20k, so it's still getting a good run in.

Cheers

Very good value for money upgrades, great service from a VERY knowledgable bunch of guys up there in St Neots.

Get one of their 'healthchecks' done too, just to make sure you have a good engine before you get any performance upgrades done:wink:

Give Paul or Thomas a ring & they'll sort out & talk you through your requirements.
