Offline | Chilli Cant find my old post of pics of my MINI so i have made this new one  Well owned her for 4 years June 19th, shes now done 37700 miles and i love her more and more each day. All her mods are done now and i am very pleased with her image change over the last 4yrs and 10k ish on mods inc labour etc. Chilli won Modern MINI Magazine's best MINI ONE in 2007, appreared three times in the mag once was for a full feature on her. She's been on Brands hatch race circuit for parade lap two times, and has been to MINI United where she went around the circuit very fast!  In March this year she went on the Top Gear track which she loved and she's been on lots of other MINI Adventures since.She's been a really good MINI to me and i never want to sell her. Her faults to date have been the power steering spindle gone, costing £300 to repair and i think its on its way out again after only a few months having been fixed but its under the BMW 2yr part warrentry. The fan belt and driver belt needed replacing, tracking out and headlight beam thing gone so not too bad. Trying to keep her miles down now and try and keep her in MINT condition, i wash her every sunday and use Meguires, turtle wax, and some autoglym sometimes up to 8hrs at a time  Standard spec Salt pack Manual air con 15inc alloys 2 spoke steering wheel tracker MINI alarm 6 cd changer interior lights package MINI TLC MINI Mobility system Mods done (excluding ones that have been put on then taken off) BMW MINI full MINI aero kit BMW MINI rear aero spoiler BMW MINI black front fog light surrounds MINI Pirate black aero kit decals BMW MINI x2 spot lamps BMW MINI R90's with Bridgestone non run flat tyres John Cooper Works brakes Rear red callipers painted BMW MINI clear bobble rear lights Clear side repeaters/clear front indicators with brighter phillips bulbs BMW MINI Chili red mirror caps Private number plate MINI Mania ultrick cold air intake OMP upper strut brace John Cooper Works engine cover Play MINI stainless steel cat back exhaust system with unsilenced pipe for extra pops BMW MINI sump guard MINI rear brake light sticker 'John Cooper works' rear window sticker John Cooper Works panther black leather seats front and rear BMW MINI retrimmed leather interior arm rests, gear knob, gear gaiter, handbrake gaitor BMW MINI oil temp/battery gauges BMW MINI 3 spoke leather steering wheel classic mini badge on dash John Cooper Works chequred mats John Cooper Works black shift light Chrome toggle switch rings MINI Pirate toggle switch stickers John Cooper Works kick plates BMW MINI Cooper S pedals MINI under eye bonnet decals Chilli..      old pics of Chilli..                  and they call it MINI LOVE    |
