    Not currently, trying to clear my debt to be able to fund buying a house so its weighing up the options at the moment. Thankfully there is more than enough small stuff I can be getting on with so can try and save a bit up for getting new seats. Aiming to have most of the interior sorted by the next L2B so a year should hopefully give me some time :)

    Up to 2.5k at the moment purely on interior stuff and thats not getting the door cards sorted either :( dont think the 650 quid for front seats is helping but they are so nice :(

L2B although good was a bad idea. Now I need to win the lotto getting my mini looking how I want after all the inspiration there :(

    It was minispares and yeah they were very helpful, I have my wish list already set up for when I have some more money. And nope I was near the beginning of row 6. I turned up bang on 5 sunday morning although as it was first time I missed the turning into CP so looked a fool having to turn round lol

How soon after getting your first mini is it acceptable to add more to the collection?
