Hey all,
I'm not connected to, or in need of the following, but after seeing these selling for around £1500 from UK suppliers, I thought I'd alert you all to them....

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...tem=4555792288

Very slow bidding up to now, and still under £300 inc. P&P (at time of posting), could be a real bargain to be had by someone if they are quick....ONLY 4 HOURS TO GO !!!!

Good luck, happy bidding and let me know how you go on!!!
Regards,
Matt

matt1584 · Jun 17th, 2005, 05:09 PM

Hey,
less than 3 hours to go, still cheap....UNDER £300 !!!!
Someone on here must fancy these

Regards,
Matt

matt1584 · Jun 17th, 2005, 07:55 PM

Hey Everyone,
the above item has now ended....£470 inc. delivery, someone got one hell of a deal there, 70% off list price!!!
Regards,
Matt

woodsy_bear · Jun 17th, 2005, 08:08 PM

Yes me hopefully, VERY happy man

Just hope they come, sellers got a good rep so should be OK.

matt1584 · Jun 17th, 2005, 08:40 PM

Hey Woodsy,
glad to see I could help somebody out.....you spot them thanks to the thread or had you already being watching them

?
I'm sure they'll arrive ok, be sure to post the pics when they do, and to answer your question int he other thread, I think they will fit your wheels...I believe they will fit all 17's apart from OEM Mini ones...though you may need spacers, I'm sure someone will know or check on www.minimaniauk.com, I think they list all compatible alloys!!!!

woodsy_bear · Jun 17th, 2005, 08:46 PM

No I actually missed your thread. I was really lucky I was doing a search for brake kits for the mini on ebay and spotted the stoptech sale with 20 minutes to go. So glad I didn't miss it, I'd only just emailed Lohen the other day about the Stoptech kit and had given up on it due to the price.

Its all a bit spooky really, may be I should buy a lottery ticket

matt1584 · Jun 17th, 2005, 08:48 PM

...and one for me

, we'll split the winnings!!!!
Cheers,
Matt

woodsy_bear · Jun 17th, 2005, 08:56 PM

Thanks for the link in your earlier reply. Lohen had said it might need spacers to fit, oh well I can afford the spacers now

matt1584 · Jun 17th, 2005, 09:17 PM

shazam · Jun 17th, 2005, 09:19 PM

You lucky mofo

Look again at the description- its even got the spacers.

Well done

woodsy_bear · Jun 17th, 2005, 10:28 PM

I thought it said that but if you read it again I think it says all you need is someone to fit it and some spacers.

Either way I'm not bothered.

shazam · Jun 18th, 2005, 05:25 PM

They look great

woodsy_bear · Jun 18th, 2005, 06:00 PM

Yeah they look good, can't wait to see them on my car. I've seen a photo on NAM with the same kit and wheels, it looks excellent.

The drilled discs look nice, but I think the grooved ones would be better for the track.

I'm not complaining I can always get the grooved discs when the drilled ones need replacing.

woodsy_bear · Jun 18th, 2005, 06:47 PM

Here's the car off NAM thanks to MSFITOY, hope he doesn't mind me using it.

matt1584 · Jun 18th, 2005, 10:36 PM

Very very

Can't wait to see the pics when they've been done

Regards,
Matt

matt1584 · Jun 21st, 2005, 09:22 PM

Hey Woodsy Bear,
any news on the brakes...they arrived yet?
They sure gonna make a huge bang when they drop through the letterbox

Keep us posted

Regards,
Matt

jonnyc · Jun 22nd, 2005, 08:41 AM

Slightly off topic (but well done on the brakes)

But.... what mirrors does that car have on that you posted a pic of earlier in the thread, they look like a compleyely diff mirror (carbon i think) look very cool!

Cheers

woodsy_bear · Jun 22nd, 2005, 06:34 PM

The kit came today, almost broke my back picking it up

All I've got to do now is find someone to fit it for me.

On the mirror topic, when I was having my suspension fitted by Lohen, they'd just received a set of those mirrors. Looked a well made bit of kit.

matt1584 · Jun 22nd, 2005, 06:49 PM

Nice one Woodsy,
did you get a chance to see the mirrors.....were you tempted?
I'm still a bit 50/50 about them, they look good off but dunno if I am a fan of them fitted to the Mini! Plus I like my white mirror caps

Regards,
Matt
