Sounds good to me

[kenny&shanice]

Yes, I've finally bought another Mini after nearly 3 years!

It's a 1996 Mini Sprite, with the Keith Convertible kit.













These are the dealer photos, I'll take some better ones soon.

Plans are just to tart it up a bit, no major modifications. Just make it nice and classic looking.

You went for it then, good man... If u dont mind me asking did they budge on price ?

[Mini_Magic]

No they wouldn't budge, though I'm still really happy with it at that price.

Went to SMD in it this weekend, ran without a hitch. 70mph with the roof down is hilarious

Bought some clear indicators (front and side), looking for some nice chrome mirrors and door handles now.

Some photos from SMD this weekend...









Good times

I will have mine on the road too soon, looks remarkably similar to yours, I will see you about at some of the shows no doubt



The black wheels have now gone and been replaced with 13x6 superlites, but you get the idea

[Mini_Magic]

Yeah there seems to be a few red Sprites with the Keith Convertible kit, like this one next to mine...

[mymini007]

Not sure if mine is a sprite, weren't all the sprites 1275cc, mine is a 998 ?

[Mini_Magic]

Ah yes, I just assumed yours was a Sprite too.

[Mini_Magic]

A very nice photo from MITP last weekend...



Picked up a chrome door handle and boot lock set at the show. Will update with new photos once fitted.

Looking for a nice chrome exhaust system to replace the pea shooter.

[mymini007]

I have one on the for sale section, twin pipe, stainless.

Looks good. I saw this a MITP. You still after some chrome handles? I have some I'd swap for your black ones if you like?

[Mini_Magic]

Interior or exterior handles? I just bought the exterior ones at MITP.

Here's a list of things I'm thinking about doing to it in the future...

• Large classic black/wood steering wheel (probably 14")
• Overrides
• Red arches (maybe with a chrome strip)
• Classic chrome exhaust
• New bonnet badge
• Chrome door mirrors

That's all I can think of for now, I'm sure they'll be plenty of other changes as well.
