Fitted saturday..

Before:

After:

They are so white! They make my bonnet stripes and mirror caps look cream! :shock: :-/

This MINI was once a compleate standard one

GR33NIE · Feb 12th, 2006, 07:17 PM

Good choice of wheels im a big fan of the s spokes myself! Got the same on my one

Looks good against the white stripes and mirror caps

Mine was standard aswell great making all the changes isnt it!

dannit · Feb 12th, 2006, 07:19 PM

lookin good! keep up the good work!!!!!
tip: use the mini wheel cleaner for the white wheels, the spoke alloys are a bit of a nightmare to keep clean!

*Vikki* · Feb 12th, 2006, 07:19 PM

Thanks Gr33nie, year i think it matches in well! Yes costs alot of money though! lol but its all good fun, and makes the car yours! wow yes you have sure made some changes too! I used to have a chequred roof like yours!

laura f · Feb 12th, 2006, 07:23 PM

Where did you get the clear rear lights from if you dont mind me asking? I don't think MINI dealerships sell these anymore?

Any next plans for your one? Looks quite similar to mine except it's red

its good, its what BMW use when/if you get a MINI pamper. its a sort of acid, bit pricey but does the trick, i think i payed about £14

(stings like hell if you get it in your eyes, dont spay into the wind!!!! lol)

MINI should order them in for you, but be warned, its nearly imposibly to change the tail light to the clear one that comes with the set if you have a spoiler, cause its screwed and glued on, so if you pull it off it also removes the paint. I have had to resort to the two clear lights and the red tail light!

fletchie · Feb 12th, 2006, 07:33 PM

Wow....

They look great, honestly. I love the s-spokes and think they're the best for any mini.

Great choice and looks the dogs.

No of course not,I got them from ebay about 6 months ago, they were brand new when i got them.
I actually want to get rid of them ( i get bored quickly, this is my 3rd set) and get the bmw red ones with the clear indcator.

I was thinking of getting viper stripes in white but i am still unsure, and i would like to take the chrome off the boot lid (changed my mind) and revert it back to standard black to match the aero kit. Then maybe have a look out for those lights. Then who knows! i allways get tempted! like us all! I might get a sump guard, stainless steel.

SiBradbury · Feb 12th, 2006, 07:37 PM

Looks great! I've always loved white s-spokes on red mini's! I gave up on my white wheels, too much cleaning involved for the mileage i do!
Ps, Autoglym Clean Wheels is excellent and only £5. And, yes, that also stings like hell if the wind is blowing the wrong way!

Same here i was told that it to much hassel to change the rear break light if you have the spoiler!

Seriously, try the Autoglym, you'll be impressed! However, if BMW used their fancy stuff on my wheels when they cleaned it, they genuinely seemed to stay clean for longer. Some wheel cleaner has 'brake dust repellant' in it (polish to you and me)
