The misses Mini

My Mini (Sonic the Pick up)
When it was on 13s at Ace
Posted Image

After a bit of playing I settled at this hight. It wasnt really useable lower without more mods (which it will get now its on the 10s)
Posted Image

Posted Image

And now on 10s. It needs the rear to be tubber. Got the 10x6 wellers on at the mo (which are the "winter wheels" but it will be getting 10x7 banded reverse rims in same black for summer)

I think there are a couple of people who have, Id love to.... but the price is OTT!
there is also the option for hydraulic. Think its better than the air kit?

your right, i did make them myself, and i sell the arches and front spoilers as seen on some cars on here.
this is my website

www.mcleanbros.com

ABS sell them for us too, they sell alot oversea's, but we just tend to sell them here, so they workout alittle cheaper.

you can lower it if your 17, it depends who your with on insurance but any classic car insurer wont really care that its lowered, its performance mods they care about that sting you in the pockets :)

Some lovely min is in this thread though :)
