The exhausts look so bad its unbelivable!!

Chrome wheels, what were they thinking

Apart from that it isnt too bad, looks like a decent job on the arches

Yeah those arches look really good

[Mincento]

that is bloody georgeous but it needs more smoothing such as loose the handles, boot hinges, middlie seam on bonnet and a set of sideskirts oh and a decent exhaust

[1976 clubamn]

because the rear end is so smooth, the light look out of place, take em out fill the holes an put in LED's, like mine, wicked.

loose the nasty tail pipes put on an upswept single centre exit.

then we would be getting close.

maybe yes, maybe not

Can you put l.e.ds in the rear lights of a mini. If so where can I get some. Can you just buy a led bulb and do a d.i.y job?? Can't wait to be on the road cause I'm going straight to crail quarter mile. Ace fun.Those xhausts are terrible, twin upswept definately. I actually like the chrome wheels cause they are different.

mini1275 - is crail on every two weeks, if so what two weeks??

[1976 clubamn]

if you want to make an LED rear light cluster, you have to buy around 300 bulbs per side, then a ruck of resisters to go with them then solder every one of them with cable tails, then wire them all up. its a blooby nighmare. but it looks so sweet. i have all clear ones so that it looks like there are no lights untill they come on.

coooool. when my mini comes back i will post a picture.

[hammoj28]

Would it be possible to use these??

[Dom]

yeah, ive been planning to do this for ages, put l.e.d. clusters as my rear lights because they're brighter and last a very long time. 100,000 hours (11 years) and i have a supplier in Canterbury close to wear i live but they cost £10 each. (per bulb) so i havent got them yet.

they do mk 1 clusters click HERE

[hammoj28]

The ones I posted are £9.99 each. at www.motor-world.co.uk

[Mini1275]

hammoj28 just go to www.crailraceway.co.uk to check when events are on. They had a mini v fords day which I missed so I wasen't too happy but I went to the max power event and thats where I took the picture of that mini.

[hammoj28]

Cool. Thanks, Max Power days there are meant to be quite good cause of all the cars. A mini dedicated day would be better though.

[Dom]

are you consodering getting clusters?

id like to, problem tho i found with that motor world site is that the bulbs they have are for show use only.

[hammoj28]

Yeah most stuff is for show use unfortunately. Might get away with it though.

[millsminis]

don't like it the deseamed front and moulded arches don't do it for me!!!
