Cool! Cant wait to see what your mini will look like with a delta exhaust finished and on . Bet it will look awesome

[CAU998]

Change of plan, the original colour scheme i had in mind has gone out of the window, its now going to be an almost gunmetal grey matallic with a pearlescent red/burgundy sort of colour roof. You will find out why as it comes together . Within the next few weeks you might hopefully see why

[CAU998]

Hehe, just found out im starting a new job soon so should be ordering these in the next couple of weeks,





Does anyone know if the 7.9 setup will fit underneath the wheels without rubbing? Should be getting some Hoosier tyres with the wheels too Also will have to order bush kit, solid mounts and shocks for front subby and maybe some negative camber arms.
