hi there

i thought it best to pop in here and introduce myself.

i have just bought my second mini (well it's my wifes mainly but i get to play with it if i fix it!!!)

we have just bought it so please excuse the poor state of cosmetic disrepair, all will be attended to with haste!

frow what i can tell, it has a stage 1 tuning kit, arches and wheels but is otherwise standard.

a few pics to wet the appettite - oh, yes those are 8J13 superlites shod in 215/50/13 BFG's!!!! keeerching!

wide indeed!!! i'm thinking some smaller tyres might be a better idea though as it catches the bumper even after about 2" has been cut out of the wing by the previous owner!!! also, i don't fancy my chances of finding a matching tyre if i need one and the MK1 / 2 escort boys need these tyres more than me! sham as they look soooooooooooooo good!!

it actually has a similar wide and multicoloured look to the one in your sig!

Hello and Welcome to TMF!

Those wheels are ma-husive!! I thought my wider wheels ate wheel bearings for a past time - what are they gonna be like! I like the red with black bonnet and boot, goes well with the jet black logo also in red!

[grrrth]

i suspect i may have to do the wheel bearings at each service!!!

it's funny that for some odd reason the colour scheme seems to work! the bootlid will be replaced soon as the black one is rotten and i have a red (different shade though) one to go on.

I think the black one looks cool.....maybe get one the techy minded ones on here to photoshop you a red bootlid so you can see what it'll look like!
