[998 mini 25]

Hey everyone,

Ive just bought my first mini as my secnd car. Obviously it will be modified at some point im just trying to find out the best bits. Im a bit late for going to the shows so if anyone has some photos of different types of arches that are actually on cars that would be a great help. I also want some wheels which i found from minisport which seem to be really nice 12x5 ultralites so the arches really need to go with the wheels. I really dont want to be cutting bits of metal.

Cheers

Scott

Hello,

Imo keep it how it is as they’re becoming rare in standard form, stick a set of grey plastic arch and the stickers and your done.

Not a bad lil motor, deffo need a set of wheels on there , there is always the chrome arches or the rubber style ones .

Hey,

Cheers for the comments, where is the best place to get the grey arches then, and what are the like to fit. With wheels do you wreckon i am better off getting them shot blasted then painted or powder coated? Also does anyone know where to get a vacuum advance diapragm for a lucas distributor. Im struggling to find a new part instead of having a whole new distributor.

cheers for the help.

B-e-a-utiful lil 25 you've got there! Nice to see an original one and I hope you keep it that way, it'll be worth a small but tidy sum in the future in original condition.

MiniSpares (link at bottom of thread) will sort you out with the vaccuum advance ^^

Arches, well, you just need standard ones for that so...either mooch around in the For Sale section here or pop along to a Mini Show in your area and nab a set for a song. They just screw/poprivet on depending on your preference and you'll need a can of Rover 'Storm Grey' paint to spray them up and complete your grey trim set.

Storm Grey?

i thought it was nimbus ???


I've got some nimbus to spray my grille (i'll get round it it when i've finished sanding it! )
