[mini1071s]

What a great mini! Well done!

[mini-gti]

mini looks awsome! how much has it cost to get it there? what size wheels you running? look like alot of metal behind the arch, could you not trim it????

[supermotolee]

cheers guys its cost me about a grand to 1200 i rekon to get it looking like that i have done all the work myslef with lots of help from mates and my girlfriends dad

they are 12" wheels i may draw a line under the arches and cut away all the excess i dont need...

can i do this to the rear or is it not worth it?

i kinda just guessed how much to cut away i did it before i had the arches

mot friday hopefull then i'm on the road :grin:

[clarks.2006]

What tyres on you running on those 12s i have 12s on mine but im looking for sum wider ones. I also want to lower it, but dont want to do a lot of work on the arches to stop the scraping hehe.

[mini-gti]

you may aswell cut all the arches, you dont want to hit a big bumpand slice the tyre, i used to own a very low mk2 polo, and at first i only rolled the front arches, then one of my rear tyres started to get gauges in it, and i had to replace the tyre and roll the arches, pain in the a#se that was it was very low though 65mm drop on the rear, and 70mm on the front :tongue:

IT PASSED ITS MOT

[supermotolee]

its now insured and on the road i'm a bit rusty at driving but i'm coping ok then a curry delivery driver (probably uninsured) hit me up the ass in traffic and bent my bumper in and pushed my bootlid out of line slightly after one days driving needless to say i wasnt very happy but he gave me £100 no to go through insurance wich should easily cover a bumper and some time to re align the boot lid

on a separate note i'd realy like an engine to build on the side for next summer so if anyone knows of a metro turbo engine or something that needs a rebuild that i could use i'm around west london area and willing to come to you what should i be paying for an engine that needs overhauling ?

thanks lee

i'd have reported the driver to currys aswell.

Hope you sort it

[supermotolee]

sorry i meant a curry as in ruby murry haha he didnt speak much english and had his boss pay me to keep quiet there realy isnt much damage but its a real confidence breaker on your first days driving and i'l make a few quid out of it so i realy shouldnt grumble too much realy enjoying driving my mini it just seems to grip and grip hehe
