Sorry to be a tiny bit off topic,, but what arches do you have on that car? thats like exactly the look i want in my build.. Arches and wheels?

Cheers

not a problem, they are mini special wheel arches and the wheels are 7x13 ultralites.

Are they the correct arches? http://www.minisport...fo_AJM1117.html if not got a link? also ohhh nice wheels dude

[Jamez26]

that'l be the ones bud ! thats exactly where i got them from. but you have to give them a bit of work to be able to paint them. and thanks am actually trying to get rid of them to be honest!

haha i see well mine will be metallic black all over.. errm yeh im toying with the idea of "sportspacking mine" but im not sure i like the basic look u got going... even with the clear lense lights i like em!

[Jamez26]

Sounds good whats the main colour going to be ? i was thinking of sportspack aswell, but i didn't want to try n make it something it wasn't and i dont like the look of the rear arches at the back on the sportspack. the only thing you should consider is that because my arches don't cover the wheel, i get alot of spray of the road so it gets dirty really fast.
Oh honestly, the jewel lens lights imo make the back of the mini look so much nicer, i just didn't like the boxy shape of the clear lenses

[Mattlav]

Cool errm like i say really shiny metallic black all over.. haha mabye some sort of roof decal haveent thoght about it really errm i located this earlier..
http://www.customminis.co.uk/ find the sportspack kit.. about £150 u get the lot.. was thinking of splahing out on that..

and yeh i might change to the jewel lights not sure where to find the fill kits to?

[Jamez26]

Good

yeah, erm you get the full kit from huddersfield..... link >>>> http://www.minispare...mp;prod_id=2600 but if you already have a goot unit, you only need to change the lenses

[Mattlav]

should i buy full kit or just do lenses?

[Jamez26]

I'm not to sure, If you take of the lenses you have on the now, you will be able to see the condition of the chrome on the inside. if it's ok and the lights are bright enough, i'd say you only need lenses. It's because the jewel lenses are clear and therefore pretty much see through and you wouldn't get the same effect if the chrome was all pitted and tatty!
