The DSN bits look awesome! I was looking at the same ones. Debating on silver or black, but your photo may have helped make the decision for me. Nice.

I wanted Green, to match the rest of the car....but just fitted them, and I have to say the black looks really nice. Photos to follow!

I just phoned the garage that did alot of the work on my car, and I am taking it around to be looked at and MOT'd at 1pm (thats half an hours time)

Fingers crossed it will pass...but if it doesn't they are going to have to fix free of charge, no way I am paying for anything considering how much it has already cost.

A quick pick of the new door handles, The black blends in nicely, this pictures doesn't do it justice (I blame the flash)

Looks lovely. Need to sort the ride height out though!

Ride height is a little high because it has brand new cones on it, it just needs to be driven and for them to settle in. I don't have adjustable suspension on it at the moment...I have been thinking about it, but probably leave it standard.

Yeah i thought that when i looked at the picture from sideways on lower profile tyres would have helped aswell but i do like the green black combo you go going on anymore updates on this beast!!

Well that looks magic well done and did you sort out the water problem..........

[Club-MAN]

Hardly a beast, a standard 1098 engine!!

It is now at the garage, getting the issues looked at and MOT'd.

The mechanic thinks that the head may have not been torqued down enough (as in they didn't get it up to operating temp and re-torque it!) I am not sure and think it could probably do with a skim.

Anywho, thats the way it stands at the moment.

Waiting......

I should probably investigate upholsterers to get the seats sorted in the mean time.

MOT passed and I am going to fetch the car tomorrow morning....lets hope it everything else is sorted!

Its also taxed, so I will probably go for a joy ride around the area once I have it back and get some good pictures.

[Club-MAN]

Been out for a a drive in it today, seems pretty good. Noticed that the fuel and temperature gauges don't work once I start the engine....will have to have a look at that tomorrow. Any ideas?

Stunning looking mini I bet you can’t wait for summer to crack out the polish, don’t know how to help you with your gauges though.
