Spotted online: it's identical to my car except for the red 'dash and extended throttle pedal!

Enjoy!

PEPPERPOTS!! :)

:D :D they're just the best! 

Best thing about a non-Cooper MPI though is that the insurance for someone my age is much better as insurers see this as a standard car! Little do they know that the engine was the same! 

:mrcool:

Same here, I was always brought up to believe that they are and everyone who sees mine always say "I love the pepperpots"

I used to have a set on my mini a long time ago. When I bought them the description said Pepper Pot wheels. Maybe he means they are literally not pepper pots lol

yes they are? There were also the Metro Turbo pepperpots like this http://www.dadswell....vious/Metro.jpg

but our wheels are pepperpots too :) besides, it's a generic term for a wheel of this style
