After getting some AutoGlym High defination Wax through the post (courtsey of Pistonheads after displaying my car at the show)... decided the give the mini a much needed makeover... took me a few hours... washed the car (2 bucket method).. dried.. then Meguiars clay... then used the HD wax.. comes in a nice kit with sponge applicator and terry towel to buff... back to black the bumpers/arches and finished of the tyre dressing...

nice job,wheels and plates do look good on the colour.what exhaust do you have? i like the look of the pipes!

Cheers guys... it's all about the subtle touches that set the car off.. i'm so tempted just to keep it.. and everytime i drive it i don't want to sell it!

Pics were at Bull ring.. someone told me to take car to underground car park after a polish.. sets the car off with the lights.. they weren't wrong!

Exhaust is a Janspeed cat back system.. it just has the one pipe running under the car (not two like standard).. gives a nice popping sound between changes and a low growl/burbble when cruising....

Looks great.. i really like the wheels. I know i have a Pure Silver car but i really think the colour of yours is one of the best

There 18" Inovit Tarmac with a Gunmetal finish... i was going to get jet black finish.. glad i didn't..!

I was thinking about changing my plates to black and silver, I've got same colour of S with Strips and JCW bonnet scope.

Have you had any bother with police?

That would look good on your car. I wonder if anything would be said to you in NI though.

Very nice car btw, looking well!!!
