This is a red hot LE. No checkmate buh

For the stance look.. Personally I'd ditch the spots.. Put a 10 inch wheel conversion and pit some wide 10' rims on it, new fat arches and a 'hi lo' lowering kit!! Would be sweet as! But as you say, it costs money, and for us money is tight!

 

 

Yes yes yes 10's!!! 10's!!! 10's!!!

Where did you get the yellow and lime green arrow from ?
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think it's the Japanese version of the L plate.
I've been looking to get one but can't find one.

Thanks
Andrew.

There's hundreds on eBay mate, just search JDM stickers on eBay... You'll soon find some.

Although I don't really see the point, there's not much JDM about a Mini!

JDM mini? 

unless you have a Jap import then its not Japanese Domestic Market?

Artful Dodger: It's not a red hot LE its a checkmate, Its just the guy who restored it before me re-sprayed it and did all that, all paperwork still says checkmate.

 

And Im going to give those 10s some thought, but in good time I will air ride this so it will be sitting pretty, just don't expect miracles too soon 

 

Also guys, when did a 6" sticker decided what a car was?

[doormatt]

Can anyone tell me how to fit me other two spots? I only found holes for two so don't know how to mount the whole four 

[rally515]

Drill Or spotlamp bar is your only options

Well I guess you could make it a Racing Green LE and then your mini would have been all 3 of the range

[doormatt]

That would be different

[doormatt]

This is how the mini is currently. Though I would make the most of spare time and sun to give and update:

Not sitting too pretty ATM so tempted with some hilo's to sort that

 

 

I got 13s ATM so I think im going to stick with that size rather than some 10s, but not overly sure 

[Alex_B]

Stance on minis tend to be 10s to get it lower, thats what I am going for, 10x7s so low, and very wide which I would call mini stance, its very hard to achieve the normal definition of stance with these, although I have seen some stanced minis running 13s so its still do-able :) 

[doormatt]

What 10s do you suggest for a good look? What 10x7s are around I never see many

[Alex_B]

There arnt many 10x7s available off the shelf, Force racing do split rims in 10x7, another option are banded steels which I have, the widest road legal tyre available are 165 section so they will be a bit stretched, I personally like the style you get from wide tens. 


Those are my wheels, and this is what I am aiming for roughly 

[doormatt]

They do look nice. Lovin' the stance on that mini too
