yeh my test is next thursday!! best of luck to you! i tried adrian flux and they wanted £2600 with £200 excess. because "its a 1275 copper se"
so the cheapest was ecar!!
And... each to thier own about the rear windscreen louvre! but i quite like it.
ive found the wheels i want, http://www.minispare...ty=pb&pid=34694
then the sportspack arches are next !

no get your arches and wheels at teh same time as you cant drive round with your wheels on and no arches will get pulled up on it.

so you have to do it at the same time or get teh arches and stay with you wheels set in for a bit liek i had to do till you got the cash to get your new wheels

Try Superlite direct - http://www.superlite....com/index.html - you might get a better deal?

or just keep a look out on TMF and eBay, they often come up for sale (with tyres) as do Sportspack Arches???

I'm toying with the idea of selling my 13x7's superlites with yoko's - only done a few hundred miles and in good nick, let me know if you're interested!

I might be wrong but i think your insurance will go up quite a bit after you pass your test, as there wont be an experianced driver or whatnot in the car. Goodluck on your test!

well, no it's NOT. it's not a cooper se, it's a mainstream cooper, as in standard production model, NOT an RSP cooper se. the truth is, they probably don't have the normal cooper on their system, only the cooper se and the 1.3i cooper. it is neither of these.

it's one of these....



and not either of these...





this document will explain the difference between the standard (mainstream) cooper and the cooper SE (RSP)... click

if you want full details of what your car actually is click on the "mainstream cooper register" link in my signature. take a look in the archive area of the forum

You do realise that as soon as you bolt on your nice (i personally prefer 10’s) 13” wheels and wide arches, you’ll have to tell the insurance people as it’s classed as a non standard modification, and more than likely they will charge more for the privilege. Do not however be tempted not to tell them, as if you do have to make a claim, wheather it be your fault or not, because of the undeclared mods you insure will be void which not only means you have to foot avery big bill but also be in very deep trouble for not driving with insurance, etc…
