Quick question, do any of you guys know if the centre caps on the S spokes 17"s (the bit that says MINI on it) can be purchased from the Mini dealership/spares dept?
Click to expand...
Andy, they can im sure, because the S - Spokes we sold (now owned by Veron) had no centre caps, and they do now :D

So either the guy nicked them, or they were bought from the dealer :rolleyes:

I forgot to answer earlier about motorsport wheels, yeah you sort of need to make up a company name, but dont worry about that until you come to paying for them. Itll be fine :p

Well if they dont sell them (think they do as asked the same q in a different thread) I'll get my screwdrivers set out lol :D not!

Did motorsport fit the tyres for you or did you get them done somewhere else Nick?
Click to expand...
... so long as you dont point em at mine :eek:

They fitted the tyres, they fit tyres for Auto Design Technics apparantly (Kahns) so they should be respectable enough, the service was top notch when i went, they have fitted 4 sets of Toyos in total for myself and my dad :cool:

I think nick had the best idea when it came to names (use ur own) I just thought of mine off the top of my head as I thought it would just be a sign in name (only used to sign in and my name not actually visable to others kinda thing)
Would anyone really have called themselves an*lpena*rator?? :D
Nevermind I dont think any of us picked particulary bad names
Im sure if you asked Mr Mullet if you could change to the afore mentioned name he would say NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, you could say that your dog called scooby died and you are deeply traumatised everytime you log on to Mini2 :D everyone knows you as scooby now though.

I didnt really think when i signed up doh! its a bit annoying having my name as my username, but i cant be bothered to set up a new user as it just confuses people :rolleyes:

Haha, i liked that pic rich.

I dont know if Captain looks at this thread, but if you do :), sorry I didnt wave back this morning, was concentrating on getting past all those cars and just saw you at the last minute :rolleyes:

Its soooo sunny today, and my cars still clean from Trax :p

Rich, Scooby and Parc, you will have to get plenty of pics from Hadrians wall :D

So whens the Z4 coming Parc, I heard that there is an uncanny resemblance in engine note with the Boxster! which has got to be a good thing :D
