And just a quick question. Anyone ever checked the actual mpg against the computer mpg. Just wondering how accurate it is. I am still checking it but on trip home Friday done 200 miles and said I got just over 40mpg. Very happy with that.

Don't you just love it when you spend nearly 3 months looking for the ideal mini with no marks or scratches on to have it for only 5 days to come back to your car with a f*%#ing scratch on the rear quarter and light lense!!

Welcome to MINI2 matey

Car looks good, you must have all the GTT extras in the book

Sorry to hear about the scratch though, unfortunately there are plenty of jealous/thoughtless people out there .

Hopefully it's not too deep & you'll be able to get it machine polished out?

I'm loving it to, very very much, and as soon as I get over buying my mini I will be spending money. I am hopping to bump up the bhp with some more mods.

Yes mate. All done buy a very good mobile scratch and dent guy I have used before on a previous car. Thanks for asking. Thankfully there was no dent.
Next job is just to get the windows tinted.

Update time. Now running some hairpins while I work out what colour to go on my S spokes and get some new tyres on them to get rid of the run flats of them.
A few other bits and pieces done as you can see from the pics, coilovers fitted by me over the last couple of days.
