Hi all,

Just wanted to show you a couple of photos of my new wheels!

I'm slowly making my mini "my own", so I've already made a few modifications, but I'm happy with how it all looks.

 

Here she is when we bought her just shy of 2 years ago:

And here she is today:

Bit of poke going on...

I've been to an Irish bog and have tried running across one (it was an organised event, don't worry!). All I can say is not even 8 wheels would help in trying to get across one!

Not yet, waiting until I renew my insurance later this summer (:
And it's not only the front wheels I'd have a problem with!

That's exactly what I thought, it's totally transformed the car!

Thanks, I think it offsets nicely against the red shell and the black bumpers & headlamp rings too, not too harsh.
