Yeah I did, yeah its the bit that always gets in the way when I try to do anything to my spotlights in the grille, hehe..
So could it just be the horns died & I should replace it? or could it be an electrical fault somewhere along the line?

Went to the local scrappy get a clock for the Mini yesterday. Shame I couldn't walk around though. Also spotted a rather sad looking Mini that wasn't in bad nick. Wish I would have asked a price for it now.

Go back! :D I'm currently debating to save a Mini going to the scrappy, good nick on the back of a van near my mates house. Got 10" wellers, maybe a mk3?!

I wont be able too go back until the weekend as they close the same time as I finish work. I was only able to go around yesterday because I had the day off. I'll try and find a number and I'll ring up for you.

Just seen photos of my mini and the extensive work being done to it.. mini's in a rather sorry state right now. To think the old girl got through an MOT just two months ago is crazy.

if this is about your mini, i'm going through this same thought process, although i'm stuck as i'm only 17, and with the price of the car, mot required work, excessive insurance costs and now more work to a degree i didn't think was needed on this car, I'm about 6k out of pocket.. :(

Can't believe I decided not to bid on some wheels due to needing new rubber cones, thinking i'd pay about 120 for the wheels, and they only went for 50 quid!! ¬¬

Stupid question, but does J6 (or 6J) on Weller wheels mean theyre 6 inch wide? I think it does mean that I'm having a dumb moment. Just need confirming lol

-
minimaxie
cool thankyou :) I thought it was. Do you know what the "J" means then? As for that bit I have no idea lol
