So Far it has had:

New Brake Pads
Engine Tune
Carb Cleaned
Carb timing set
Angel Eyes
New Igntion Points
All new hoses
"A" Panels Replaced and painted.

For the above the bill came to over £480, but due to the garage taking 5 weeks instead of 2, changing the brake pads which I knew needed doing but didnt ask them to do, and trying to charge £160 instead of £60 for having my "A" Panels fitted my mum managed to get the bill down to £191.47 :dontgetit:

I've also replaced the battery and fitted interior chrome handel set for the doors.

Need to get round to fitting my Door Cards too.

If you're going black and mean, then get the windows tinted slightly and lower it with adjustable suspension. Or think about a different colour for the roof and colour co-ordinate the arches/interior?

unfortunately no but i have seen some minis with the black grille and the paintwork black looked great and quite racy. try looking through miniworld magazine or try altavista.com go to pictures and try a search.

I reckon you should keep your mini looking standard as you can, get things all cleaned up and take any rust away, sort out the interoir with new leather seats, but not bucket seats, then make her a beast in the engine and do everything to her you can, that way people wont expect to see a standard looking mini go as fast as yours does, it all about what the car can do not how many angel lights neons and tinted windows you can have, in my opinon!! :grin:

RE Jules, I know it isnt all about show but I do want to make her look smart, and at the moment any engine upgrades are out of the window due to my insurance premiums, I would like to do something like that in the future tho!


RE: matt1332ish. nice pics, dont like the yellow body kit tho :sick:

The black grille dose look smart, I might have to go that way :dontgetit:
