`:) thanx laura!, yours doesnt look pretty mint yourself! :)

Andy..

My sis got a bright Yellow 51 reg mini one! its really cute! very different to mine! much more girly.

I've put in a bit more chrome inside but nothing drastic, planning a few things in the near future! Bought Cooper S side skirts from Ebay and putting them on this weekend. Going to get an aero spoiler and carry on the stripes over that and thinking about putting a stripe of silver along the bottom of the door panels. Nothing much! Also want to get 17" alloys but they are a while away! Then I think it may be perfect for me! What you think?

Coool :) nice !! so whats she getting you to do to hers then?

got any piccys of your new chromey bits? have you looked at a aerokit front grill btw black ! :)

side skirts im sure will look Great and i like the sound of the silver strip along the bottom door sounds Coool

You sound a little too handy :) do you do house calls?? :)


Andy..

Ohh thats nice! I was thinking more like a car called trinity- will find a pic

here you go:


with the signiture but only one stripe not two like on this one. I think this car is just fantastic. Its american and I hope arcangel doesn't mind me using his/her photo!

Haven't got any pics yet but will take a load after I fit the side skirts this weekend! Gave my baby a treat with meguiars and looks amazing!

my sis wants me to do the cooper s bumpers for her and she wants to put crazy stars over it! Should look cool and different! being a design like mind she has asked me to photoshop the ideas to her at work! Quite a few!

Lol @ brushy Passat2.com

Nothing wrong with 18's - ur gonna have to tell us what cars these people telliing you bad things about your car have got - wether its a Passat M3 Mondeo am sure we will find something worse about there cars :D

hehe ! :) parc77&brushy

all dusted now ! but as you say there are a lot of jelous &*()£$ out there!

btw one drives the passat(i will ask him tomorow what forums he uses :) ) and ones a fellow mini driver :S wheres the loyalty eh?

!8" wheels may well look aces, but they are very slow. So take you pick, show or go!

ummm, I think they need BIG BRAKES behind them mate.....

wen not lowered it can look a little like its on stilts

I have to disagree with you there, it looks perfectly fine,handling etc would be improved when lowered but I dont think it's essential

The comment about 18" wheels being slow i don't understand,i know that cos they're bigger they may be heavier but if your using the lower profile(should it be 35 or 40 i'm not sure) to go with the 18" won't the rolling radius be the same.

Nothing wrong going with 18"! Keep it up! Ignore your friends.

i also dont understand how 18" can be any slower? im using 205/40 pilot tyres which ahs the same rolling radius at the standard 17" flavors

surely other than a harsher/more stable ride ( which i prefer elise like ;) ) i cannot see how they are slower??

Andy..

hey tony not seen you on the 303 lately !!! been busy ?

new wheels?

must meet for beer at some point !


Andy..


oh Nice Brakes Btw :)

Andy..

As everyone else has said - 18'' wheels look good, they fill the arches up nicely :D

18'' wheels won't be slower than the 17's if they weigh less - as you said, you have kept the same rolling radius the same. The only way they would be slower was if they weighed more than the s-spokes which is quite unlikey seeing as the S-spokes weigh a ton and a half. :p

Checked your gallery - those wheels look really :cool:

Cheers, LB.

the S-spokes weigh a ton and a half. :p

an thats per corner!!
