Thanks for the posts guys! ^ :)

 

Lovely little car you have there. Great choice in wheels too :)

 

Thanks bro, I really do love the wheels, they are going to look mint once they are on!

 

Mini ownership never comes without it's adventure! Nice progress! Have you considered binning the exhaust for a more subtle side exit and putting colour back into the rear lights?

 

I have from time to time thought about changing the exhaust. For looks reasons I would, but it sounds really nice right now which makes me hesitate to change it. But we shall see!

 

Great mini you got there love the colour , Hope your o.k now

Must get some pic's up when you have your 10's on

Chris

 

Will do

 

I really like it that you kept the original colour!

 

Good luck with the driving...

 

Yeah I didn't want to go to far from the equinox scheme, as the interior is really nice  too and wanted to keep it all matching.. And the purple really grew one me !

Yes they are...

 

UPDATE!!

 

The 10s are now on, some other minor changes too.. spotlights are back etc.

 

 

 

 

 

early impressions.. 10"s are so much nicer to drive with, you can definitely feel the bumps less, the ride is much better! :) I'm very happy with how they look, fill the sportspack arches perfect!

 

Will post some better pictures soon! :)

What is that tyre? The tread pattern is glorious! It looks perfect with those wheels, tyres and arches.

So decided on a new exhaust and brought some new bumpers with an over riders fitting kit, think it will go pretty well as the wheels are certainly making it look pretty retro now :)

 

 

Fitted the front one, will hopefully do the rear and fit the exhaust over the weekend

 

 

Trying to decide if I should get a silver door circle and see how it would look with one... decisions decisions!!

.

[0525116]

Fitted the new exhaust today, couldn't undo the bolts on the cat so ended up popping to the garage so they could heat them up a little for me got back home all fitted, moved the rear fog and fitted over riders on the rear... :)!

 

 

 

still thinking about a door circle hmm..

[Jared Mk3]

Much prefer this exhaust - it makes the rear look so much neater
