You get any photos of it?

Oh and congrats on 15k posts mate

Couple of pics in Ants post here..... brakes only just fit under the 17" wheels. Calipers are much bigger, they are four pot calipers as opposed to the single pots on the regular works brakes.

Cheers on the 15k, nice to hit it all over again. I was on nigh on 18k before the clear out

Sadly it is not significantly better than what I have and certainly not enough to make me want to spend another £26k+ on a MINI.

It does make a nice noise, there is a bit more grunt than mine and the brakes are better. However driving it yesterday I realised two things, firstly that my own R56 is a particuarly badly built example and that after 7 years my love affair with the MINI is over...I need to try something else and maybe come back in a few years. So I will be looking for something different next year...

Washy · Jul 28th, 2008, 06:56 AM

Having said all of the above. If they tuned the suspension properly and put some decent sports seats in as standard I might reconsider.....

Oh yeah and why have the exhaust tail pipes gone into hiding
