looks like a nice project, best look out for a 998 to put back in if you want to insure it though, prices at the moment for us young people are a bit mental...

Always good to keep a nice clean tip :P lol. Welcome to the forum buddy. Mini looks quite nice, personally dont like big ICE in a mini but each to there own. Great first car choice! Plenty of people will tell you to declare it as a 1275 and not to keep it registered as a 998 but personally again its up to you.... Happy mini-ing! :proud:

cheers guys yeah ive checked some quotes on a 998 and a 1275 and the 1275 is only a few quid more than the smaller engined :wacko: the quote for the 1275 was about 2300 but thats without a black box so hopefully will be ok, ment to be one of the cheapest cars to insure right? And about the ice, i agree tbf look abit :xxx: if you ask me haha, the subs will be coming out like i said and some original seats :) what would you reccomend me do? tell them or :whistling:. P.s. man i love theese smileys! :ph34r:
