I have just cleaned my car today ready to export it, and as it's pretty much how I want it I thought I'd post a pic of it as it is now and also how it looked on 7th December when I bought it.

I don't imagine it's to everyone's taste, but hopefully it's slightly individual. Feel free to comment positively or negatively.

Wow thats changed a fair bit! Not overly keen on the wheels, but apart from that it looks really good! Good job

David King · Feb 2nd, 2008, 08:57 PM

Thats looks really cool, i like the wheels aswell.

I think a nice BBK would finish it off

mikbmini · Feb 3rd, 2008, 03:59 PM

That looks great, love the addition of the aero kit, and I think those wheels really look good with the colour scheme you have going on. Has it been lowered as well? BTW what size are the wheels?

Fen · Feb 3rd, 2008, 04:02 PM

Thanks. Wheels are 17x7.5 ET45 Rota Slipstream. It's on Eibach -25/30mm springs and it's also got a GTT230+ kit, all of their chassis braces and Spiroslot brakes all round.

that looks fab! some change in it!

good work

RyanK · Feb 3rd, 2008, 10:35 PM

Wow. That looks well cool, I love the wheels personally.

Only around 2 months to do all those mods, i like!

Im looking into 30mm Eibach springs at the moment so also gives me an idea on how low the car will sit. + Did you get the honeycomb mesh stickers for the Aero bumper from Phil @ MiniPirate?

Cheers

Fen · Feb 4th, 2008, 07:42 AM

Yep, the Aero stickers are from Phil. The OE silver ones just weren't going to work with my colour scheme.

RyanK · Feb 4th, 2008, 10:30 PM

Cheers mate

Sorry for being a dufus, is the product I want "NMCF06 Carbon Fibre effect Aero Decal" from minipirate.com?

P.S. Kudos for the different wheels!

EDIT: Oops, no I don't think that's it - I've just found a page of various designs! Argh, too much choice!

Fen · Feb 6th, 2008, 08:41 PM

Nope, they aren't CF. I ordered what I though would look closest to the real grills in the front which was NMAr261 Black/Grey Vinyl

Cheers on the wheels comment. I did consider the more common TD 1.2 and also some multispoke Rotas, but in the end I liked the angularity of the 5 spokes against the curviness of the Mini body.
