Nice mini! What are you plans for it?

[Dom]

indeed, looks in good condition aswell

[tom]

I'd start with the wheels!

She looks really nice, keep us updated.

[The Roadie]

Its my first car, so not many mods, as the insurance will be astronomical!
But it NEEDS minilites before I can save up and get Grp7s and Starmags. Anyone got a decent set of 12x5 Minilites at a sensible price for the time being?
I've got a Peco Cherrybob to go on the back, so at least it will sound good, and a CD head unit to go in it.
Needs a chrome roof trim and grill too. There is a little bit of body work as ther is a dent in the boot and a little rust spot in the middle of the offside door, to do so its time to get the filler, wet and dry, and T-Cut out.
Its done 97K, but it is in excellent condition, also I know the car as my dad and I have maintained it at the garage for the last 5 years, so I'm well chuffed with it.

yes got some 12x5 minilite replicas in great condition with good as new tyres for £150 or some 12x5 wellers that I'm gonna restore and powder coat.

[Alburglar]

Think the minilite reps are called ultralights and were only used for 3 months. Do you want to see some pics?

nice car The Roadie. looks great very good condition.

it defo needs wheels, steals with plastic caps really do not do anything for a mini (as you already know). minilights or revos would look class on it.

[The Roadie]

Some pics of the wheels would be nice please, but I wont reply till Monday, as I'm going to the British Grand Prix today (Thursday).

get an induction kit!

[simmo]

Its my first car, so not many mods

wheels always good place to start, then cooper grill, lights (spot, fog, clear indicators etc)

then you have all the goodies to put inside, dash, extra clocks, ice, ally door furniture, gear knob,

the choice of mods is enourmous and all down to personal taste...
whatever you do, do it right first time, save agro later :grin:

nice lookin' mini too.

hey Lewis, how much are the induction kits for a spi cooper?

[lewis]

matters what make you want, there not expensive, trying to find a price but still looking
