Hi,

I have just joined this forum and i was just wondering what the best way is to go about styling the exterior of my mini 1275.

At the minute it looks pretty standard.

I am looking to get some new wheels and arches soon, was thinking 6" x 10" wheels? minilite's? 
Would like it to be lower and stick to the road really well. Are the smaller wheels better for handling? or would i be better off going for some 12"?

Im wonting to make it look nice and tidy not like a "shed" 

 

Thanks.

if you want handling, then 10s are the way to go (even though i love my 13s, i can admit that lol). make sure you have the right front brakes though, as i believe 10s may require a conversion to smaller disks. i dont know the details but im sure someone will elaborate. to make it lower you need a hi-lo kit, and i would also recommend adjustable bottom arms and tie rods for the front and camber brackets for the rear

For 10" wheels you'll need 7.5" brake discs.
