sick man, are those just the ones of their site or custom for you?

 

 

how did you make those skirts?

[megamini_jb]

Looks awesome. I'm sick of seeing 10s so I'm loving the wheel/arch combo

Thanks for the kind comments. The arches are just the ones they sent me, not made to any special order. The skirts are easily made with a sheet bender and a guillotene. When I lined up the arch at the back it looked best when the bottom of the arch was below the sill line.The skirt was more of a solution than a desire however it seems to have worked out for the best. Fitted the rear arch first, then made the skirt, then fitted the front arch to suit. Finished off with chrome flexi trim. Cha. Most expensive part was the shipping.

The smooth surface of the bonnet stripes helps speed up air flow around the windscreen thus reducing drag and making the car go faster!!. Didn't you know that ow?

Sick! I wanted to go mexico but they didnt fit really

Very nice, I've used the Mexico arches myself. Best option for 13" wheels in my opinion.

hey mate, where the heck did you get those mags , they are awesome.

[REDICE]

I imported them from Huddersfeild minispares (after minispeed ignored my emails after spending $3500 with them last time). I got a bit of stuff off them and when I worked it out the mags owe me about $1460 nz landed. You can get gold mags but in split rim style but there was an additional 8 week wait. Took about a month to arrive.(minispeed nearly 3) The clear rear lights work out dear at $250 but generally the stuff I got worked out cheaper than trade me or any mini bits sellers over here.

hey thanks matey Im in chch and was thinking of bringing a set in.   thanks for the reply bro.

let me know if you do as there are a couple of other things I can add to your order. The more you order the cheaper it works out. As a rough guide the pre vat cost x3 is just a fraction more than what things finally cost by the time you pay for shipping, grab snatch and take, and duty and clearance fees.
