I have been really buisy recently so i havent updated for ages, but i have brought and fitted some parts, First things that i brought was a pair of Cobra Clubman bucket seats thanks to Tomm on here. I have fitted these but havent got any pics of them fitted yet, but heres a pic of them not fitted.



I have also brought a set of carbon style evil eyes but havent got any pics of them fitted yet.


And finaly i picked up a very nice dash and centre console today. all i have to do not is buy a load of new 52mm dials and then ill fit it.

Ahhh...was wondering whose that mini was....

I saw you in Sandwich a couple of weeks back... I was in the black cooper with the red roof waiting for the train gates just as you were coming out of the road by the station.

Gotta quick question for you regarding your wheels... namely are you using any spacers with them? Only reason I ask is I have a set of 10x6 wellers (black as well!) waiting to go on mine and not sure what they'll look like under my arches, but yours look quality!

[Tomf]

Yea i go to Manwoods school thats why in sandwich all the time lol.

With my wheels i ahve a 1/2" spacer on the fronts and i had to grins a slight bit off the caliper, but if i went for 3/4"-1" spacer i think i wouldner have had to grind some off the caliper.

There is an old thread on here somewhere showing you how you do it. il try and find it and post it up.

loving how the door cards look, ill get some pics of then fitted when they arive

Cheers

[Jack Jones]

lol yea it is a bit of a big house isnt it but the one thing i need it doesnt have yet is a garage

Heres a pic of mine and Doms minis from out one of the windows.



Continuing on from what dom was saying, we also fitted up the door cards and a few other bits and Dom very kindly fitted my rear view mirror and Dom helped me out with alot of other things through the day, well you got alot of nice prezies for the help

Well today i went out and brought a trolley jack as the seals on my big ruddy heavy one had gone.

Anyway, when i got back with the back i got cracking on fitting up the 10s they seemed to go on well and the handling is noticeably better





also as the wheels are wider they actually fill the arches properly now, as you can kind of see from this pic lol



A few pics with the mini outside, and OMG we finally got some sun today




Now all i have to do is work out how to wire the sunroof in lol.

oh you make me very jealous those wellers look F***ing wicked

[Pauly]

Those wheels are nice, cant beat 10" wellers, they look massive .

[Tomf]

Yea i amsolutely love the 10's i didnt think they would make such a big difference to the way the mini drives, but its amazing.

Well i havent done much to the mini recently as the weather is to cold lol.

However iv have changed my plans a bit, so now im going for a completely stripped out mini light weight mini now.

Iv started to strip out the mini already, by removing all my ICE and the back seat, however the carpets will be coming out very seen, then all the sound deading going to come out and anything i can take out i dont need.

Iv also brought a fiberglass bucket seat, that is going to save a bit of weight and is a perfect fit for me.



My next plans are to buy a CF roof skin and perspex windows. But these wont come untill after Christmas when i have some money lol

[Bean]

lol Snap!







Gorgeous house! gorgeous mini!
