Well finally got some custom made wheels centrs after enving monsta's for ages. Decided to go a little more standard. Got same people who made my Grill stencil to make em so the font would be the same so the grill and centre would match.

Nice Damo, very nice !

Damo · May 27th, 2003, 05:22 PM

Not bad for £2.50 each. Its gone in for a service today so got to see how they stand up to being washed. They maybe coming off sooner than I'd like

Had 8 done but they've messed up 3 so will be taking them back to be redone.

Does the exhaust trim make it sound any nicer? I want to make my cooper sound a bit deeper but dont want to risk voiding warranty wiv an aftermarket exhaust!??

Exahsut trim (imo) makes no differance at all. Although Monsta said he noticed a slight change, but not enough for what your after. You could go with the official Mini Sports Exhaust (its the accessories brouchure) or the John Cooper Works Exhaust but They're about £500 fitted. As for warranty. changing the exhaust would only effect the warranty of the exhaust nothing else.

When you got the exhaust trim what bits did you get with it ? I understand you unscrew the old one and screw the replacement on instead. Do you use the old screw or do you need another ?

monsta · Jun 5th, 2003, 06:16 AM

You need to unscrew the original trim with a torx screwdriver.

The new one is a push on fit - no screws

Forgot to mention the wheel centres looked miles better now theyve been washed. Because of the way they were made there was a residue on them now they look better. They actually look like the Cooper is Embossed onto the wheel centre rather than just flat. Well impressed

Nice plate Damo, can I ask how much it cost you?

Saw a great plate on a car yesterday, it was:

50 HOT

Would look good on my wifes MCS..... can't believe it was on a 10 year old clapped out Rover 414i....

That plate has had a bit photoshopped off, it cost me £250 for
S10 AMO

Wanted P10AMO as my mum and dads cars plates start with P2 and P3 and there initials but it was sold within about a week of me having the money to buy it

Got S1 as only one that didn't spell summat stupid and I happen to want an S eventually.

Yeah, realised that it was a bit of a stupid question really, as you can't start a number plate with '0' can you? or just have the number '0' at the end either.

Damo · Jun 5th, 2003, 08:09 PM

This is £250
