I present my 5th and final mini :( well for a long time anyway

Ive said to few already that shes staying standard but if you know me well enough it wont >_<

However it wont be anything like the usual 13x7 wheels and loud exhuasts long gone that phase haha

Shes a standard 998 mini ... white of some sort .. with just under 36,000 on the clock

Got a few things i want to do to the outside like 10" wheels but the rest il try keep quite so its a suprise :thumbsup:

Interior wise its staying how it is retro !

so yeah pictures to follow

:thumbsup:

It's a smart mini and hooray for you finally having one that works again!! :dontgetit: Definitely think the standard look suits this one

Aww bless, you've grown up, that was quick >_<

Anyway, glad you've got one and can now join us for meets and shows!

Exactly what i was thinking so the interiors staying how it is and im only going to do mods that i can change back easy so no chopping for arches and what not ... it also has the original radio :) only station that i can get on it is absolute - (virgin) haha not too bothered about tunes atm

Dont like the rear of the mini needs a colour coded rear number plate light and them lights have to go either standard or mk2 lights >_<

Other than that nothing else i can think of that i will do

But a list of whats to come

10" wheels of some sort
Small bore exhuast was thinking maybe centre exit not sure

After that some upgrades to help the engine in crappy weather :lol:

Not alot more will look into ways of putting my stereo in somewhere as i dont want to move the one thats already in it
