If mpg doesn't bother you and you want performance why did you buy the Diesel MINI?

Good question. Give the 17"s to me and I will give you a set of 15" that would be more suitable.

that doesnt sound like a good deal swapping alloys with ya!

My dad wanted the diesel cos he pays for the fuel that gets used and he has a diesel pump at his yard so its the best way.

Also the insurance factor seeing as im only 17 years old.
