Those are the ones. And although a bit sneaky just bought four in silver. Cheers to Artful dodger for the heads up.

Sorry i mean the wheels.

The Cooper S set up we had a group buy on here a while ago. I bought the most expensive deal as i was swapping over from drums to discs.

I will dig out what you need to convert

no problem. only imperfection is that there has been a bit of paint drip down in the gap between the rim and the wheel face, where the two pieces join. a thin bit of paint run around there with a thin paintbrush solves this. i have done it.

Sounds good. I will be putting on my chrome trims anyway so no problem there. Going for a stealthy look. Missed too many second hand sets so well pleased.

stealthy

hah, yeah. i know what you mean. i spent 107 pounds on some reverse ones ( 2 very rusty!) so new steel and real copies for about 20 pounds less is very good!

Don't think ill go down the route of going back standard but I think I will make same mods so someone could one day put it back original

But I do like the idea of 10's

Russet brown clubman with lots of mods! Has a set of gold centred Force Racing wheels ready to go on for next season.

Not my car, but me driving.

That does look very mean Wil, would love to tool around in something like that.

[simplyminis]

Think my car is too original to go that far even tho it does look good! I won't be keeping it long as I've bought a pickup and want the money from the clubby to restore it so want ideas on the best mods to do to get half decent money for it

[sonikk4]

If you leave it as is you should get a good wedge for it without spending money on it to try to gain more money.

Its a difficult one really, the car looks good as it is. Not brash or shouting out which will appeal to a lot of people and with a turbo lump under the bonnet so it looks stealthy already. I think as i said i would maybe go for 10" rims but by the time you add up the cost of the rims say those minisport cooper s rims and a brake conversion you are looking at the best part of £400. Quite a chunk to try and make the car more sellable.

[Pelvisgt]

Just service it and make it all really tidy and sell it on as adding mods will mainly loose you money,

The 10" would look sweet but as said will cost a few hundred.

Looks really nice I would live it if I was looking for a quick mini :)

[simplyminis]

Well it's going in for paint because I've bought the paint and it will look a1
But will bare everyone's points and will update when it's in the garage
