standard? o well I thought they would be different ones cause the arches sort of go over the wheels a bit and don't line up

They look like Wood & Pickett arches to me but they might be replica W&P. Nice mini anyway, enjoy the site!

I bought it about a 10 days ago, its a 1993 mini mayfair 1275cc with a superflow exhaust. It was pretty cheap because it hasen't got any tax or MOT, I also got some new shocks with it front and rear, I've only fitted the rear shocks so far. Since I'm only 16 I couldn't drive it back so my dad drove it back, he was pretty worried about getting caught without MOT or tax but it was only about 5 miles back home all on country roads.
