It was about the nearside wheel rubbing on the arch

[minimk1]

tidied up my boot yesterday, fitted a boot board i had laying around with a few feet etc to keep it still and steady, also used two mk3 door latches painted them black and screwed them down as anchor points for strapping my essentials down. looks so much neater than before and stops things flying around in the boot every time it hits a bump

 

before 

 

after

drove my mini today  , as it is my 17th birthday, had great fun and cannot wait to get out again will be amazing when i pass my driving test.

 

small update from friday as i repaired the area damaged by my old petrol cap which was leaking   but a flat back and spray got the job done and you would never know it was repaired  , also cleaned my car inside and out and thought i would get some pictures up of the finished product seeing as i actually don't have many on here

 

masked up more than this but i didn't get a picture as the clouds looked moody

 

then the finished repair 

 

 

looks like there are streaks in the paint but i assure you there isn't, this is just a reflection of me when i was taking the picture

 

 

 

 

 

 

now some of the clean finished car 

 

 

some at night

Looks beautiful mate well done! Was the advisory reverse light? And on your doors do they stick put prouder then the rear quarter? Mine are doing this to when I test fitted them I had to bend the little piece of steel that the rubber seal fits over inwards to alow my door to go back more I hope after time the rubber will wear in and the door will sit back better.

Definitely one of my favourites this one. Really like it.

no the advisory was about the nearside wheel and its only my rh door that does it, i will try bending the lip to see if that helps
